    Abstract: A wedge-shaped storage compartment having a large opening at the back, designed to be removably mounted in the rear of a pickup truck bed.

The locking mechanism utilizes the existing mechanism of the pickup truck tailgate. Thick rubber stripping around the opening in the storage compartment provides an airtight, watertight seal with the tailgate itself.
