ABSTRACT:
A running board toolbox combination is made for pickups and recreational vehicles. The top plate of the toolbox functions as a running board when closed. The toolbox is attached to the vehicle by a flexible sheet upon each end. Each sheet fits the contours of the wheel well to which it is attached. The top plate opens by sliding into a slot at the back of the box. When closed, the top plate is held in place by a lock bolt against the lip at front. Weather stripping between the top plate and the main body of the box keep the box weatherproof. Furthermore, faces depending from the top plate overlap all edges of the box to prevent water from running into the box. Drainage is provided for the water.
