ABSTRACT:
A load body for a pick-up truck which comprises: a pair of spaced inner vertically extending side walls affixed to lateral edges of a load bed; respective outer side wall assemblies connected to the respective said inner side walls, with each assembly including a top horizontally extending rail and a rear end wall portion, and being spaced from said associated inner side wall to form a space there between. A compartment is formed on the outer surface of at least one of said inner side walls by outwardly extending front and rear end walls and a bottom wall attached to the at least one outer surface. A hinge pivotally connects an inner edge of the top rail of the outer side wall assembly associated with the at least one inner side wall to an upper edge of the associated inner side wall so that the outer side wall assembly is pivotable between a lowered position, wherein said compartment is closed by the outer side wall assembly with said rear end wall of said outer side wall assembly covering the rear end wall of the compartment, and a raised position of the outer side wall assembly, wherein the compartment is open and accessible. A controllable device is provided for locking each pivotably connected outer side wall assembly when in the lowered position.
