ABSTRACT:
A bed cover for a pickup truck comprises a plurality of horizontal, rigid panel sections supported on angle irons above the load supporting surface of the bed. The panel sections are coupled to each other through transversely extending hinges to enable the sections to pivot open for access to the bed. One of the panel sections is secured to the angle irons while enabling the remaining sections to pivot about their hinges. In one embodiment, only the panel section nearest the cabin is secured on the angle irons, enabling the remaining sections to fold into a storage position when not in use. In a second embodiment, only a center panel section is secured on the angle irons, enabling access to the pickup bed from either the cabin end or tail end of the bed.
