ABSTRACT:
A pair of elongated cover sections disposed in side-by-side relation and having remote marginal edges thereof spaced apart for overlying the upper marginal portions of the side walls of a pickup truck load bed. The cover sections include adjacent marginal edges for bridging between the front end wall and the tailgate of the load bed and extend along the longitudinal center thereof and corresponding end marginal edges for overlying the upper marginal portions of the front end wall and tailgate of the load bed. Separable barrel hinge structures are spaced along the remote and adjacent marginal edges of the cover sections for releasably pivotally securing the cover section remote marginal edges to the load bed side walls and the adjacent marginal edges of the cover sections to each other, the hinge structures including axially shiftable hinge pins as opposed to rotatable hinge pins and slotted hinge barrels with which longitudinally spaced narrowed portions of the hinge pins may be registered to allow lateral separation of the slotted hinge barrels from the pins. The hinge structures spaced along each longitudinal marginal portion of the cover sections are connected together for simultaneous longitudinal shifting.
