Abstract
A load-carrying bed system for attachment to a frame of a vehicle includes a headboard member adapted for securement to a first support component associated with the truck frame and a second separate support component associated with the truck frame. The second support component forms a portion of the frame along a lateral side of the vehicle. A left side wall member is adapted for securement to the second support component. A right side wall member is adapted for securement to the second support component. At least a portion of the headboard member overlaps at least a portion of the left side wall member and at least a portion of the right side wall member. The overlapping portions are secured to both the respective left and right side members and the second support component of the truck frame.

A load-carrying bed system for attachment to a frame of a vehicle, the bed system comprising:
- a headboard member adapted for securement to a first support component associated with the truck frame and a second separate support component associated with the truck frame, the second support component forming a portion of the frame along a lateral side of the vehicle;
- a left side wall member adapted for securement to the second support component;
- and a right side wall member adapted for securement to the second support component,
- wherein at least a portion of the headboard member overlaps at least a portion of the left side wall member and at least a portion of the right side wall member, the overlapping portions being secured to both the respective left and right side members and the second support component of the truck frame.
A load-carrying bed system for attachment to a frame of a truck, the bed system comprising:
- a headboard member including a base adapted for securement to a first support component associated with the truck frame and first and second end sections extending outwardly from the base and adapted for securement to respective left and right second support components associated with the truck frame;
- a left side wall member adapted for securement to the left second support component forming a portion of the frame along one lateral side of the truck;
- and
- a right side wall member adapted for securement to the right second support component forming another portion of the frame along another lateral side of the truck,
- wherein at least a portion of the first end section overlaps at least a portion of the left side wall member and at least a portion of the second end section overlaps at least a portion of the right side wall member, and
- wherein the first and second end sections each include at least one end section aperture in registry with at least one side member aperture located in the respective left and right side members and at least one second support component aperture located in the respective left and right second support components of the truck frame, wherein at least one fastening member extends through the at least one end section, side member and second support component apertures the at least one fastening member respectively securing the first and second end sections and the left and right side members to the left and right second support components.
A load-carrying bed system for attachment to a frame of a truck, the bed system comprising:
- a bed floor;
- a left side lining and a right side lining, each side lining extending upwardly from the bed floor and adapted for securement to respective left and right wall components of the truck frame;
- and
- a headboard member extending upwardly from the bed floor and between the left side lining and the right side lining, the headboard member including:
- a base adapted for securement to a front wall component of the truck frame which separates a passenger compartment from the bed system,
- a first arm extending from a first end portion of the base, the first arm adapted for securement to the left side lining and the left wall component, and
- a second arm extending from a second end portion of the base, the second arm adapted for securement to the right side lining and the right wall component.
