  • Patent number: 11001205
    Abstract: A pickup truck toolbox can be mounted to the bed side rails by a variety of interchangeable feet rather than arms and may sit above the bed, thus allowing use of the full volume of the bed, for example for 4?×8? sheets of building material. It may have a rear view tunnel through it either top or bottom, whereby the driver may use normally the rear view mirror, and may have a Liddy light valley across the top, whereby the brake light will remain visible. A bed light or rear view camera may be employed as well. A fairing may be employed to improve fuel efficiency.

  • Patent number: 9499106
    Abstract: A pickup truck toolbox can be mounted to the bed side rails by feet rather than arms and may sit above the side rails and the bed volume, thus allowing use of the full volume of the bed between the side rails and the floor of the bed. It may have a rear view tunnel through it, whereby the driver may use normally the rear view mirror, and may have a Liddy light valley across the top, whereby the brake light will remain visible. The profile may match or sit within the profile of the cab of the truck, a fairing may be employed to improve fuel efficiency, and side-mounted vertical hatches may allow both easy access and the use of shelving.
