ABSTRACT:
A roll-up door assembly for a vehicle body having a roof, a pair of opposed sidewalls and an end wall including an opening into the interior of the body and over which the door assembly is disposed. The door assembly is located externally of the body adjacent the opening and includes a sliding door which is slidable from a stored position above the roof to a pivoted open position wherein the door covers the opening but is pivoted outward from the opening about a pivot axis located adjacent the bottom of the opening. The door is pivotable to a pivoted closed position wherein the door is pivoted toward the opening to fully close the opening. The door is located within fixedly mounted track means when in the stored position. The fixedly mounted track means are mounted externally of the body adjacent the roof and the sidewalls. The door is rolled into pivotable track means when it is in either the pivoted open or pivoted close position. The pivotable track means are pivotable about a pivot axis between the pivoted open and pivoted close position. In the pivoted open position, the movable track means communicate with the fixed track means to enable the door to be moved from the former to the latter and vice versa.
