ABSTRACT:
There is provided a hinge adapter kit adapted to be secured to the sidewalls of an enclosure or cover and an open bedded vehicle. The secured assemblies (4) provide selective access to either bed side while permitting ease of installation or removal of the enclosure therefrom. Each enclosure assembly (2) is provided with at least one complemental shaft retaining member. Each bed sidewall assembly (2) is equipped with a slidably, mounted shaft assembly composed of at least two shaft sub-units in longitudinal alignment and spaced apart so as to vertically clear or not clear the complemental shaft retaining members when the shaft assembly is respectively adjusted to an unlatching and latching position. A shaft connector rigidly secures the shaft sub-units. Latching secures the enclosure to the bed while also providing a hinging system formed by the mounted shaft housed within the complemental retaining member upon which the enclosure axially pivots.
