ABSTRACT:
A variable length bed system is provided for a vehicle having a load-carrying bed and a support structure configured to provide support to the bed system. The bed system comprises a floor structure including a bed floor and a separate shell. The bed floor includes a support for directly supporting cargo. The support is a selected support that is selected from a first support having a first length and a second support having a second length that is greater than the first length. The separate shell is connected to a first end section of the support and defines a first storage chamber disposed adjacent the support. The shell has first and second chamber openings. The first chamber is accessible through the first opening. The shell has a fixed size. The differing lengths of the first support and the second support allow the fixed sized shell to be used in varying vehicle sized load-carrying beds.
