We often leave things in the back of the truck overnight during cold
weather. There is a locking fiberglass shell that keeps critters away.
If it was colder here, it would be a problem, in that although the
fiberglass might insulate a little bit, the sides of the truck transmit
the cold very well. We have 3/4" plywood and a thick carpet remnant on
the floor of the bed. If it was colder here, we would put things in
camping ice chests. They would insulate against freezing, depending on
the mass of what is inside.
