ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a cover for the open bed of a pickup truck or the like characterized by a multi-channelled track having a first pair of parallel rails leading out of a storage area horizontally along the rim of the truck bed and at least a second pair of rails branching off the first pair at a point intermediate the ends thereof down to the floor of the bed. A rollable or otherwise storable fabirc or slatted canopy is drawn out of its stored condition where it extends transversely of the rails adjacent one end of the first or main pair thereof into a position where it covers all or a portion of the bed. More specifically, the canopy either remains in the first set of rails coacting with an upstanding wall of the truck bed to define a closed compartment therebeneath encompassing essentially its maximum horizontal area or, alternatively, compartmentalizing only a portion of the latter by using only a section of the first rails and a pair of the branched rails.
