The pickup truck has a back panel separating the passenger compartment and cargo bed, connected to the rear floor panel of the vehicle and formed with an opening which is opened and closed by a hinged panel. A lower back panel constitutes the lower end of the back panel and defines the bottom edge of the opening. The lower back panel has a forward flange and a backward flange extending a certain distance from its front and rear ends. The flanges are connected to the rear floor panel such that the lower back panel and the rear floor panel together form a closed space therein. Thereby, the rigidity of the lower back panel, in particular, the bottom edge of the opening in the back panel where a cargo tray is mounted is increased, so that deformation of the lower back panel due to heavy cargo load can be prevented. The front circumferential edge of the forward flange is bent upward, and drain parts which extend through the rear floor panel are formed at predetermined positions in the forward flange. The structure thus ensures that rain water entering the passenger compartment can be swiftly drained to the outside of the vehicle.
