ABSTRACT:
An adjustable and versatile shelving system for storing articles in the cargo box of a pickup truck in an efficient manner. Brackets which support load bearing members are adjustably mounted to side rails which are connected to the sidewalls of the cargo box. The connection between the brackets and the side rails enable the height of the shelf above the floor of the cargo box to be adjustable within a range of heights. An additional shelf located a spaced distance above the first shelf can be supported by inverting some of the brackets which are connected to the side rails. The brackets can also be connected to the side rails in a manner which provides a surface for securing vertically-oriented side planks above the cargo box sidewalls to temporarily extend the cargo box sidewalls. A knock down tool chest can be provided on the shelf to store tools in a secure manner, or it can be collapsed to provide extra open shelf storage space.
