Abstract
A removable storage door for a pickup truck bed to provide additional storage space beneath the straddle toolbox extending between the truck bed side walls. The door is positioned below the tool box and is hinged either to the tool box or to the floor of the truck bed. Appropriate latches or fasteners are provided to lock the door. The door may be pivoted between an open position and a closed generally vertical position. The hinges are detachable so the door may be removed or, if the door is in place, present a low profile with the door in an open position against the truck bed.
