the only way to recess the toolbox in level with the flat area would be to raise it way up...which sucks when you actually need it because its way up and would look pretty stupid.

you need to find a toolbox like this that is made to sit inside the bed

Here is a side view of my bed with the tool box centered in between the sides, for an idea of how you can mount one and still have function of the bed.
