ABSTRACT:
A storage box for mounting in the rear end of a pick up truck by extending laterally across the rear end of the truck. The truck has a towing hitch mounted to the rear of the truck immediately in front of the box, and a 5th wheel trailer has an elonated towing arm fixed to its front end which can be detachably mounted to the hitch of the truck while extending over the top of the storage box. The storage box has a bottom receptacle portion and a top cover portion pivotally mounted to the bottom portion. The cover portion has a depression intermediate the ends of the cover whereby the cover portion may be pivoted upward and the towing arm may be received in the depression in the cover portion while the ends of the cover portion may be beside the towing arm to enable the ends of the cover portion to have a greater depth and the cover portion to pivot upward at a greater angle for easier access into the bottom of the box.
