ABSTRACT:
A set of rails are in place atop the sidewalls of a truck box. Slides, one each in place on the sides of a truck canopy, engage the rails and include a flange for inserted engagement with an undercut portion of each rail. A flange free forward segment of each slide facilitates initial slide-to-rail engagement. Loading brackets, temporarily attachable to each rail, facilitate one man loading of the canopy while skids support the canopy rearward end. Teeth on the brackets and the slides prevent canopy slippage during loading. Canopy hold downs on the rails are engaged by a hold down member on each slide. Tie down hooks are carried in the crosswise slots of each rail and are locked in place by a canopy mounted slide or, alternatively by an insert in place in a rail when the canopy is removed.
