ABSTRACT:
A temporarily installable, quickly and easily removable rack provides for the carriage of long and/or large sheet materials on the outside of the sidewall of a pickup truck type vehicle or the like. The rack consists of an essentially vertical beam with a shoe which rests upon the upper flange of the vehicle cargo box sidewall. The upper end of the beam is secured by a strut or cable which extends into the cargo box and is attached to the bed of the box immediately adjacent the inner sidewall. The beam has a shoe at the lower end providing for the support of any materials carried thereupon, and provision is also made for a retaining strap for the securing of materials against the beam. Attachment points for the strut or cable may be permanently installed; a temporarily installable attachment point is also disclosed which does not require modification of the vehicle structure. The rack is preferably used in pairs, installed fore and aft along the vehicle cargo box sidewall for the support of the forward and aft ends of any materials carried thereupon, thus leaving the cargo box open for the carriage of other objects. The rack is particularly suitable for use with smaller pickup type vehicles, in which a standard four foot by eight foot sheet of building material will not fit.
