A storage bumper (10) is secured to a mounting frame (54) which in turn is secured to vehicle frame members (56, 58). The storage bumper (10) includes a hollow interior and a central access opening (20, 24) which is formed partly in the bumper top (22) and partly in the bumper rear wall (26). A door (14) normally closes the opening (20, 24). The door (14) is swingable in position about a hinge line (30) between a closed position (FIG. 1) and an open position (FIG 2). A drawer mount (12) is supported forwardly of an upper portion of the bumper (10). A drawer (48) is slidably received within the drawer mount (12). The rear end (50) of the drawer (48) is substantially flush with the rear wall (40) of the bumper (10) when the drawer (48) is closed. The drawer (48) includes a handle (52) which is used for opening and closing the drawer (48). The handle (52) is grasped and pulled to move the drawer (48) rearwardly, first through the upper central interior of the bumper (10), and then out through the rear wall portion (24) of the access opening into the bumper (10). Each end of the bumper (10) mounts a work aid fixture (170, 172) which includes a vertical socket (176).
