A vehicle includes a two-panel support structure for each side of a bed of a pick-up truck. Each side includes an upper panel and a lower panel between the upper panel and the bed. The upper panel includes multiple indentations from a cab-side to a tailgate side of the bed. The lower panel includes a plurality of extensions that extend into one or more of the multiple indentations. The combination of each indentation and extension creates a pocket into which a platform, board, or other support structure, such as cross-brace, can be placed. The support structure can extend from one indentation on one side to a corresponding indentation on another side of the bed. The support structure creates support in conjunction with other support structures for a larger platform, such as a piece of plywood the size of the bed.
