Don, if memory serves right (and that is suspect :P) ... I have see 
similar to what you are looking for at Home Depot. They have the boxes, 
as well as the open back face plate. Was looking for similar items for a 
recessed project, electrical though, and they had the box as well as the 
open back flange wall plate. If you happen to be near on, you might want 
to see what they have in their electrical dept. I know lowes doesn't 
carry them. Another place might be to look at the Electrical Supply 
warehouses in town.
