ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle having a load deck, deck sidewalls including respective wheel wells, and a tailgate, a security enclosure for installation on the load deck thereof comprises a first panel mounted between the deck sidewalls and sloping upwardly toward the tailgate from a first end adjacent the load deck to a distal second end. A second panel coupled to the second end of the first panel and extending therefrom toward the tailgate defines an enclosed space with the first panel, the tailgate, the load deck, and the deck sidewalls. A releasable lock mechanism is attached to the second panel and includes a bolt extendable through a bore formed through the first panel to secure the second panel to the first panel. In addition, the second panel includes opposing sloped edges for engaging the wheel wells to support the second panel in a generally horizontal position.
