ABSTRACT:
An enclosure is provided over the bed of a pickup truck and includes a support wall along each side in which four tote trays are accessible and removable through doors in the opposite sidewalls of the enclosure. A divider wall extends between the enclosure sidewalls to define front and rear storage areas with the front storage area having top and bottom sections separated by the support wall which extends between the opposite sidewalls of the enclosure. The top section of the front storage area is accessible from the inside of the cab. The rear wall of the enclosure includes a door which is removable, pivotal upwardly or pivotal downwardly to provide a worktable surface. The pivoting action is provided by top and bottom retractable outwardly extending actuating pins received in slots at the top and holes at the bottom in brackets mounted at the sides of the door opening. Upon the door being pivoted upwardly and pushed inwardly to the end of the slots the upper end of the door engages stops which hold the door in a raised horizontal position. Two separate controls for the two pairs of actuating pins are provided and each involves a rotatable member connected to the actuating pins on opposite sides of the axis of rotation such that rotation of the control member causes the actuating pins to be moved together inwardly or outwardly.
