Conformal aero storage box

I am fascinated with the new info and ideas on the aero truck threads. The aero template is so ingrained now, that application/production is next.
Took an active sports/outdoor lifestyle as the design objective. Boat/equipment/horse towing, ski/equipment stowage, & go BIG (F-450)!
Inspired by a F-16 Falcon with CFTs. Aerodynamic shapes slapped on top of their wing roots for additional fuel/equipment.
The aero-optimal top profile is a two-part conformal package; top stowage (removable) and a typical tapered box (small baffle/vane). Maybe could be used separately?
More for discussion...
