ABSTRACT:
A pickup truck conversion and method of providing same involves a storage/utility system in any fleet size pickup truck bed without substantially altering the bed's external appearance. The storage system is located adjacent the wheel well sections of the bed, and uses hinges to open and close the fender (side panel) of the bed. Since the storage system does not substantially alter the truck's external appearance, it reduces the attraction for theft. Also, since the storage area does not extend inwardly beyond the cenventional wheel wells, the storage system leaves most of the truck bed free for use.
