There are some nicely made setups out there. If you search you can find a few threads on the subject.

Here is a nice one to get you started.

Mine filled the whole rear compartment. I used screws through the side of the wheel wells into the box (actually one large drawer) and eye bolts through tabs on the rear of the box through the floor. The eye bolts made very good tie down points.

if you were thinking about welding do yourself a favor and remove the gas tank before you weld in the back just to be safe. floors really close to the tank ya know.

I built a box myself about 8 months ago. I just bolted it in. I did drop the tank to make a small plate for the bolts to have more meat to bite to but other then that it was a vary basic set up.
