ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a cover for the bed of a pick-up truck or utility trailer which, in the closed position, can be locked to the bed of the vehicle to provide secure storage of items in the bed but which also may be raised to a vertical position to extend the height of the side walls of the bed to assist in carrying oversize or bulky items. A pair of load support members lie beneath the cover when the cover is in the closed position to increase the load carrying capacity of the covers. The load supports are removable and are positioned between the vertical cover panels when the cover is in a vertical position to convert the cover into a load carrying rack capable of transporting elongated material.
