ABSTRACT:
A curtainsided vehicle has a pair of rear pillars extending between the roof and the bed of the vehicle. Each of these pillars is carried by a pair of supports disposed at right-angles to the pillar and pivoted respectively to a top rail and to the chassis of the vehicle. Each pillar mounts a locking mechanism which when released allows pivoting of the supports to move the pillar outboard of the vehicle bed. If the vehicle is long enough there can be provided intermediate pillars which have this feature of being able to be pivoted outboard of the bed of the vehicle.
