1. A bucket system comprising:
a frame including first and second rails, the first and second rails each including a front portion and a rear portion, the front portions being secured relative to a floor of a tray of a vehicle and the rear portions being pivotable between an extended position, in which the rear portions are parallel to the front portions, and a stored position, in which the rear portions are perpendicular to the front portions; and
a bucket having a bucket support, the bucket support including first and second front wheels and first and second rear wheels, the first front and rear wheels being slidable within a channel extending along the first rail and the second front and rear wheels being slidable within a channel extending along the second rail;
wherein when the rear portions of the first and second rails are moved to the extended positions, a gap is defined in an upper side of each of the first and second channels such when the first and second rear wheels are moved into the first and second channels in the rear portions of the first and second rails, the first and second front wheels may move upwardly through the gaps to allow the bucket to pivot about the first and second rear wheels,
wherein rear ends of the front portions and front ends of the rear portions of the first and second rails are angled such that the front ends of the rear portions engage with the rear ends of the front portions when the rear portions are in the stored position and define the gaps in the extended position.
