I do own a pickup and once built a wooden version of the Jobbox for the bed.

Moisture will be a problem. DAMHIKT.

Security/theft issues aside, which others have already raised, you don't
want to leave good gack in those drawers for any length of time because
it will rust unless you live in someplace like Arizona.

Honestly, from the look of those photos, I'd expect to see a good inch
or two of water in those drawers after a good rainstorm, or after 3
inches of snow melts.

So park the truck in the garage. You're not going to go out on jobs
while it's raining anyway.
