ABSTRACT:
A cargo carrier adapted to fit a wide range of models, makes and styles, including pickup trucks. A pair of side rails, preferably channels, are supported on legs which are to be bolted to the truck side panel. At the tops of the legs are angle mounting brackets, each with a horizontal portion which hooks over the lower flange of the channel member and an upright portion which is bolted to the web of the channel member. The front legs are bolted through a selected one of a series of bolt holes in the channel to adapt to the particular truck bed length. Load-carrying cross bars are of tubular construction and have threaded nuts welded in the ends thereof so that they may be bolted to the channel members. The channel members are in at least two sections with an intermediate, extender section being optional for long truck beds. The all-bolted construction facilitates packing and shipping for on-site assembly.
