ABSTRACT:
A streamlined truck cab fairing (15) for use with a pickup truck which may be mounted on the truck cab (1) without interfering with the operation of a truck bed cover. The fairing (15) includes a left panel (17) a central member (16) and a right panel (18), the lower edges (20,22) of the fairing (15) being remotely spaced from the sidewalls (14) of the truck bed, thereby forming a gap (59) through which a sheetlike cover may pass to completely seal off the truck bed region. A plurality of air inlets (29,30,31) cost the relative wind to create a reaction force pressing the fairing (15) towards the truck. A side panel reinforcing member (48) is used to reduced vibration of the fairing side panels (17,18).
