The tonneau cover comprises a pair of outer channels, a pair of inner channels, and several panels. Each of the channels has a C-shaped cross-section. Each outer channel is tapered along its length from front to back. The outer channels are mounted near the upper ends of the side walls. The inner channels are mounted in the outer channels. The panels are slidably mounted between the inner channels and extend from the front wall to the tailgate. The tonneau cover may be adapted for use with pick-up truck beds having parallel side walls or beds having side walls which taper inward from front to back.
