ABSTRACT:
A rolling tool box for storing tools is slidably mounted and supported between channels installed on opposite side walls of a pickup truck bed such that it will move between a stored position at the forward end and a tailgate rear end of the truck bed. The tool box enclosure has a shallow rectangular upper storage compartment extending transversly between the channels and above the wheel wells of the truck bed and a rectangular lower storage compartment extending transversly between the wheel wells of the truck bed and above the floor of the bed. A latch handle on the upper storage compartment moves a pair of rod members between a lock position engaged with apertures in the channel members to prevent sliding movement of the tool box and a released position to allow sliding movement. The lower storage compartment is provided with a plurality of drawers which allows stored items to be neatly and efficiently organized. A door hinged to the lower compartment is movable between a closed position covering the drawers to prevent movement thereof and an open position allowing sliding movement of the drawers and access to the contents thereof. The door may be locked in the closed position to prevent the drawers from opening when the truck moves.
