The portion of each side wall that extends below their respective side of the top wall functions as a partial side wall of the enclosure. The top wall includes top latches extending from a upper, outer surface of the top wall proximate the rear wall of the truck. The top latches are removably manually inserted under and latch to corresponding rear latches integrally connected to the rear wall of the truck.
