ABSTRACT:
A utility package for installation in the bed of a pickup truck includes a frame (10) having a relatively narrow, lower vertical section (12) of a width W1 narrower than the interior spacing between the sides of the pickup truck bed while substantially spanning the entire interior distance between such sides and a relatively wide, upper horizontal section (14) of a width greater than the interior spacing between the sides and no greater than about the distance between the exteriors of the sides and adapted to be supported on the tops of the sides. An elongated pressure vessel (26) is located within the vertical section (12) and a pair of upright housing sections (64,68) are mounted on the horizontal section (14) oppositely of the vertical section (12). The housing section (64,68) have access openings (78) at respective ends (16,18) of the horizontal section (14). An air compressor unit (48) is mounted on the frame between the housing section (64,68) and a tool box (70) is located in the vertical section (12) adjacent one end (16) and above the pressure vessel (26) to be accessible through the housing section (68). At least one hose reel (36,38) is mounted in the vertical section adjacent the other end (18) of the horizontal section (14) and is accessible through the housing section (64) at the end (18) of the horizontal section (14).
