ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a trunk for pickup trucks having a base with surrounding side walls and a horizontally slidable panel across the top of the box. The trunk is mounted on a pickup truck in the back behind the cab between the rear side panels of the truck. The trunk has guideway members along its front and rear side walls. The cover panel has cooperating guide members along its front and rear edge to enable the cover to slide off and on the trunk from either side of the box and truck. The guideway members are mounted in close proximity above the top edge of the rear side walls of the truck whereby the cover panel may slide over the side panels of the truck when opening and closing the trunk. The cover has an elongated handle bar along its front edge with downward projecting lug means at each end and for locking the cover closed over the box. The handle is slidable upward to raise the lugs above the side walls of the box to open the box by sliding the cover to one side or the other of the box and over one side wall or the other of the truck.
