The enclosures includes front, rear and opposite side walls and the rear corners of the enclosure include rearwardly, downwardly and outwardly opening opposite side recesses for receiving those portions of the rear wheel wells of the associated pickup truck which project inwardly of the side walls of the load bed. The front wall of the enclosure includes an openable window assembly for close registry with the rear window of the cab of the associated pickup truck and the length of the enclosure is such that it will, when disposed in a pickup truck load bed, occupy only the front half of the pickup truck load bed, thereby leaving the rear portion of the pickup truck load bed free to receive various loads therein.
