ABSTRACT:
Cargo storage boxes for storing cargo in a pick-up truck are described. The pick-up truck includes a cargo bed having a cargo surface, and first and second walls extend substantially perpendicularly from opposite sides of the cargo surface. The first and second cargo bed walls extend substantially the same distance from the cargo surface, and tops of the cargo bed walls are substantially co-planar. The cargo storage box, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, is sized to be positioned between the first and second cargo bed walls, and includes a base wall and retaining walls extending perpendicularly from the base wall to define a cargo chamber. The retaining walls each extend substantially the same distance from the base wall, and top surfaces of the retaining walls are substantially co-planar. The distance between the base wall and the top of each retaining wall is less than the distance between the cargo surface and top surfaces of the cargo bed walls. A first locking element is configured to releasably secure a first one of the retaining walls to the first cargo bed wall. A second element is configured to releasably secure a second and opposite one of the retaining walls to the second cargo bed wall.
