ABSTRACT:
A truck bed for a pickup truck includes a metal support structure that is in a fixed position relative to a pickup truck. A shell is fixedly supported by the metal support structure and is configured to integrally define a portion of a first chamber and a portion of a second chamber. The first chamber is adjacent to the second chamber at an interface, and the first and second chambers are disposed substantially beneath a plane. The plane is defined by a cargo carrying floor that is integrally provided by the truck bed. A first closure member includes a first support surface and is associated with the shell. The first closure member is moveable between a first position in which the first support surface is substantially coplanar with the plane and is configured to support cargo directly above the first chamber, and a second position in which the first closure member is at least partially removed to provide access to the first chamber from above the plane. A second closure member is associated with the shell and includes a second support surface for supporting cargo directly above the second chamber. The second support surface is substantially coplanar with the plane. The second chamber can be configured to provide a storage location, the storage location being configured to substantially surround an entire spare tire for a pickup truck directly beneath the second closure member.
