A collapsible trunk for use with a vehicle having a wheel well. The trunk comprises a base wall and a side wall pivotally connected thereto. The side wall extends from the base wall and terminates at an upper edge. The side wall and base wall collectively define a storage cavity. The base wall and the side wall each have an expandable portion conformable to the wheel well in response to placement of the base wall and the side wall over the wheel well. The trunk is selectively transitional between a collapsed configuration and a deployed configuration. In the collapsed configuration, the base panels overlap each other, and in the deployed configuration, the plurality of base panels are co-planar to each other. The upper edge of the side wall moves away from the base wall as the trunk transitions from the collapsed configuration toward the deployed configuration.

A tonneau cover assembly located over the cargo bed of a truck is provided. The tonneau cover assembly includes a base panel that extends over the cargo bed of the truck. The tonneau cover also includes at least one cover section that selectively shrouds the cargo bed and is located adjacent the base panel. The tonneau cover assembly includes either one or both a tie-down block assembly and/or a tether assembly.

A component includes a first part in which a first junction part is configured, a second part in which a second junction part and a cross junction part intersecting the second junction part are configured. The second junction part and the first junction part are welded at a preceding weld. The component also includes a third part in which a third junction part is configured. A part of the third junction part is overlapped with an opposite part of the first junction part, a remaining part of the third junction part is overlapped with the cross junction part, and the first part and the second part are welded to the third part at a following weld at each of the overlapped parts.

The present disclosure relates to a truck that includes a first wheel well and a second wheel well. A bed is positioned between the first wheel well and the second wheel well. In addition, the truck includes a two-piece cab back panel that is formed of a lower cab back panel and an upper cab back panel. The lower cab back panel is arranged adjacent to the bed and between the first wheel well and the second wheel well while the upper back panel is separated from the bed by the lower cab back panel.
