Abstract: The present invention is a removable storage apparatus that is quickly and easily installed in and removed from the rear bed of trucks without the aid of tools or need to attach latching hardware to the truck. The removable storage apparatus includes a lid section connected to a container section for relative movement between an open and a closed position. The container section includes a latch portion integrally formed into the top wall of the container section and shaped to tightly fit into and mate with the inverse U-shaped inner surface of the top portion of the side walls of the truck when the latch portion is inserted therein. The removable storage apparatus further includes a latch member movably connected to the container section and manually movable between an engaged position wherein the latch member is engaged with a latch hole in the floor of the truck and an unengaged position wherein the latch member is unengaged with the latch hole in the floor of the truck.
