Abstract: A ladder rack for a vehicle having a cab and a cargo area behind the cab. The rack has two front and two rear upwardly extending legs affixed to the cargo area proximally to and distally from the cab, respectively. Two side sections extending between longitudinally adjacent front and rear legs, respectively; and front overhang sections extending from the front legs, respectively, over and displaced above the cab. The sections each including an upper bar assembly, a lower bar and an attachment for attaching the sections to an adjacent leg. Each of the attachments has a plate and fasteners, the upper bar assemblies and lower bars being end abutting against one or more plates, being fixed to the plates and being displaced from one another at the plates. The plates extend between the upper bar assemblies and the lower bars and outwardly beyond each. The fasteners of the attachments are received by a plate and an adjacent leg beyond the upper bar assembly and the lower bars.

Abstract: A truck is disclosed including a stock cab, a stock truck bed and a stock truck frame with these components mismatched to provide a space between the cab and the bed for a enclosed storage assembly extending as a box laterally across the truck and enclosed to the frame. The box includes doors to either side and neither the box nor the doors extend above the top of the sidewalls of the truck bed. The box may include a pivotally mounted top. A mounting assembly enclosely attaches the box to each longitudinal beam of the truck frame. The assembly includes a tab to mount to a mounting point on the truck frame. A J-bolt is associated with a bracket on the assembly and extends to a hole in the truck frame to engage the hole in tension. A locating tab is on the other side of the assembly from the J-bolt to cooperate with the J-bolt to laterally locate the mounting assembly on the frame.
