ABSTRACT:
A combination rack for hauling pipe, locker for storing tools and extended sidewalls for hauling bulky material on the back of a pickup truck comprising two doors, each hinged respectively to the top edges of opposing sidewalls of the truckbed and which close over the truckbed to form a lockable enclosure or may be oriented to an upright position and fixed by a pair of rack members extending across the truckbed on which may be carried long lengths of pipe, lumber, etc. In one embodiment, the installed rack members are raised above the roof of the cab so that pipe can extend over the roof instead of out of the tailgate. The racks may be easily removed for storage or they may be folded against the underside of the truck when it is desired to close and lock the doors. Spring loaded lift assists facilitate opening the doors and may be locked to add additional support when the doors are open. A gutter channel drain between meeting edges of the closed doors prevents entry of rain water into the truckbed when the doors are closed. The door hinges are equipped with stops that prevent unauthorized removal of the door hinge pins when the doors are closed.
