ABSTRACT:
A quickly detachable and easily foldable carrying rack to facilitate carrying elongated and bulky articles on the horizontally disposed rectangular framework of the rack above the bed and cab of the truck. Support pads for supporting each leg of the rack include a base plate rigidly and permanently attached to the bed of the truck and a post projecting upwardly from the base plate with a bore therethrough for connection to a lower end of each leg of the rack. Bracket members pivotally connect the legs, at the other end thereof, to the rectangular framework, permitting the legs to be folded against the framework for efficient storage when the rack is removed from the support pads. An additional crossbar overlies the central area of the bed for further load support, is detachable for an unimpeded area above the bed of the truck, and has tabs extending beyond the ends thereof for cooperation with said framework to prevent twisting of the additional crossbar.
