I too struggled to find one years ago mate for my old DX work ute (RIP). Ended up using the existing steel tray, welded in a second steel rack bar midway and had ‘MW Toolbox’ make up the plate ally 1/2 pod to fit between. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2018/06/121.jpg Still cost me around $3k all up as I then chose 3mm heavier ally plate, so next project in-line is a $250 lightweight coolroom box I found at a wrecking yard recently. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2018/06/122.jpg

Was some time ago, but I reckon it was Threedogs, who still posts here from time to time, posted a pic of a stash of pods ex Telstra Pods he'd seen for sale somewhere. It's possible the same place may still have some. Might be worth sending him a PM.

How’d you end going on the Pod search Tip12345 mate?
I’ve bitten off more than I can chew time wise with this box balancing mockup tests!

Plan was to shorten it by 500mm and lower by 100mm but it’s still gonna be too massive, dickhead MB [emoji23]!!

Not sure where you are, but you could try this mob.

I've got an ex Telstra DX ute with a pod on the back, from this lot.

Not sure if they do 2nd hand or just brand new. They may refer you to somebody.
