A construction for the interior of a vehicle such as a van or truck, including a pair of fixed side cabinets in the cargo area of the vehicle's interior. The cabinets are anchored to the vehicle's chassis, so as to provide a structural extension of the chassis. A movable deck has a width such that it extends between the right and left cabinets with relatively small clearance. The movable deck has a lower position in which it is adapted to rest directly on top of the vehicle's floor; and it has an elevated position in which it lies in a plane which is above and generally parallel to the vehicle's floor. Cooperating structural parts (such as bolts and mating apertures) are provided for holding the deck at a position where it is fixed against both vertical and horizontal movement. Additionally, rotatable plates may be affixed to the bottom of the deck at its forward and rear end, so that the plates may carry at least some vertical loads when the deck is in its elevated position. The construction is particularly applicable for customizing vans so that they may be readily switched from a cargo-carrying mode to a configuration more commonly associated with recreation vehicles-including a wide platform which serves as a bench, bed, etc.
