Pickup truck bed

A pickup bed adapted for use with a pickup truck said truck having a pair of frame members each of said frame members being disposed substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of said truck, comprising:

• a) a plurality of elevating members adapted to be disposed on said frame members, each of said elevating members disposed in a perpendicular orientation with respect to said longitudinal axis and also disposed substantially parallel with a plane as defined by said frame members;
• b) a lower plane having opposite ends and opposite sides said opposite sides being parallel with respect to said longitudinal axis and said opposite ends being perpendicular with respect thereto, said lower plane being disposed on said elevating members;
• c) a pair of upstanding walls disposed in a spaced apart relationship that is substantially perpendicular with respect to said lower plane and parallel with respect to said longitudinal axis, each of said pair of upstanding walls having a lower edge and an upper edge, said lower edge disposed at an elevation above said frame members that is substantially equal to the elevation above said frame members that said lower plane is disposed therefrom, and each of said pair of upstanding walls being attached at said lower edge to each of said opposite sides;
• d) a pair of outer elevated planes that are disposed parallel with respect to said lower plane, each of said pair of outer elevated planes having a first edge and a second edge, said first edge of each of said pair of outer elevated planes attached near to said upper edge, said second edge disposed further away from said lower plane than said first edge;
• e) a supporting frame structure assembly disposed about the perimeter of said pickup bed, said supporting frame structure being attached to said second edge of each of said outer elevated planes;
• and
• said supporting frame structure includes means adapted for transferring a portion of the weight of a cargo placed on said pair of outer elevated planes to said frame members.
