There are different size boxes, the one I used was the 28 inch one. I will take pictures tonight and send to you tomorrow.

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE...You went where I'm going.
 
I took the crank to Lowes with me, because I wanted to make sure that item would fit.  Even though I have an electric drill, sometimes to have to use the crank to start the stablizers.  I've ended up with three of those boxes.  Over for fall (or maybe sooner) I plan to get another battery and do exactly what you did.  The third Box I use for tie downs, buggies and miscellanous stuff and keep in the back of the truck. 
 
I did drill though the frame on my box and used bolts on the little bridge I made and self tapping screws on the tongue.
 
Anyway Great JOB.

Hi Lee, a bit of luck on my part. When I went camping for the first time with the tool boxes and went to crank the stabalizers, I realized that the crank handle "JUST" clears the plywood support. Something to check if anyone is going to do this. I know know that I should have made the plywyood 1/2 inch shorter on both ends. By the way, I am going to carry my drill with me now, great idea. Especially when I bang my nuckles on the plywood.

Yep I forgot about that, I use a drill and sometimes I have to use the crank to start/lossen, but I thought it was because I installed my stablizers. 
 
I'll have to keep that in mind when I do my double.
