ABSTRACT:
A multiple configuration cargo system for a pickup truck as provided, having a front panel, a pair of side panels, a pair of side hinged roof panels and a pair of rear cargo panels. The cargo system is provided with a rear access insert that is a combination truck bed extension and ramp assembly, interfitting between the rear panels and closed roof panels. The ramp assembly is attached to the bed extension, for movement between a fully extended position angled from the ground to the bed of the truck and a partially extended support position wherein the ramp assemblies support the bed extending segment in a horizontal plane for weight bearing use. The roof panels meet along the longitudinal axis of the truck bed and pivotally move between (1) a closed position substantially parallel to the truck bed, (2) a vertically opened position in an upwards direction, and (3) an open position in a vertical and downwards direction into the cargo space defined by the side panels. Preferably, the side panels contain replaceable modular units modified for a plurality of dedicated uses.
