ABSTRACT:
A storage enclosure for a motor vehicle having a loadbed defined by opposed sidewalls, a load deck and a rear closure, such as a tailgate, includes a generally horizontal top wall extending between the loadbed sidewalls and a depending front wall having a hinged wall portion which may be positioned extending generally horizontally above the deck to form an enclosure space forward of the tailgate when in its closed position. The hinged wall portion may be positioned to extend vertically downwardly from the front wall at its hinge connection to increase the size of the enclosure space defined between the top wall and the load deck, the opposed sidewalls and the tailgate in its closed position. The hinged wall portion may be locked in either working position. The enclosure top wall may be secured to the opposed loadbed sidewalls at stake recesses and the front wall may have opposed recesses to accommodate the loadbed sidewall beam portions. The enclosure is particularly adapted for open loadbed vehicles such as light duty pickup trucks.
