ABSTRACT:
A hard tonneau cover with a carrying rack (10) for enclosing a pick-up truck bed (24) consists of a roadside frame (20) and a curbside frame (22) with each frame hinged to a side wall of the pick-up truck bed. Each frame includes a top panel (26) and the frames pivot upwardly and outwardly in a clam shell manner for opening. The carrying rack is formed within the cover by utilizing cargo rack arms (42and44) that pivot forward above the truck cab and removable cross bars (52, 54and56), positioned between the opened roadside and curbside frames provide means for transporting elongated objects above the pick-up truck cab and bed. A gas spring strut (64) is attached between the roadside and curbside frame and the truck bed for maintaining the frames in an open vertical position. A second embodiment duplicates the forward carrying rack and is located at the rear for carrying extended length articles.
