ABSTRACT:
An elevating cargo support assembly configured to extend across and between a top portion of the two opposite sidewalls of the bed on a pickup truck comprising: i) a central cargo support member having a track extending along its lower side portion between its opposite end portions; ii) two slides positioned within, and carried by the track; iii) two pivoting arms, each having an inner end portion hingably and slidably attached to a different one of the slides in the track extending along the cargo support member, and each having an outer end portion hingably carried by the top portion of one of the sides of the bed on the pickup truck; and, iv) releasable slide lock to releasably lock each of the slides and a corresponding one of the pivoting arms in an opposite end portion of the central cargo support member to thereby maintain the central cargo support member in an elevated position. Whereby when in a lower position, the pivoting arms extend generally horizontally together, the inner end portion of each pivoting arm being hingably attached to one of the slides, slidably positioned within a central portion of the track; and when in the elevated position the pivoting arms each extend upwardly, the inner end portion of each pivoting arm being hingably attached to one of the slides, lockably positioned within an outer portion of the track, so that long cargo may then be supported on the central cargo support member.
