Truck bed drawers and method of construction

A system of covered and lockable metal drawer units of variable sizes fitted to a truck rear deck, said system comprising:

• a steel, horizontal lower surface having a first edge and a second edge, said lower surface affixed to the frame of the truck,
• a plurality of steel angled members, said angled members being placed perpendicular to said lower surface and at a selected distance between said members, each of said angled members having a right angle bend at opposite sides thereby forming a “C” shape having a top side and a bottom side, each of said angled members being paired up with an angled member with said right angled bends facing opposite to each other, a series of said opposite paired angled members bottom sides being welded to said lower surface along said first edge and a series of said opposite paired angled members being welded to said lower surface along said second edge, each pair of said angled members thereby forming a drawer channel,
• a steel, horizontal deck surface having a first edge and a second edge, said deck surface being placed over said plurality of steel angled members and having said first edge aligned over said first edge of said lower surface and said second edge being aligned with said second edge of said lower surface, said opposite paired angled members top sides being welded to said deck surface along said deck surface first edge and a series of said opposite paired angled members being welded to said deck surface along said deck surface second edge, each of said edges having locking means formed therein,
• a plurality of steel drawers, each drawer being inserted into each one of said drawer channels, each of said drawers having a hinged handle, and
• a locking panel being hinged to each of said lower surface edges, each~of said locking panels having a hole formed therein at each end for mating with deck surface locking means.
