ABSTRACT:
A cap or topper structure for the bed of a truck characterized by a base or main section and a rear section hingedly connected together at a pivot axis disposed along the upper horizontal surface of the cap or topper. The preceding arrangement serves, when in an operative position, i.e. when the rear section is moved upwardly or angled with respect to the truck bed, to provide ready access to the space on the truck bed covered by the cap or topper.
In one invention embodiment, the movable rear section of the cap or topper is hinged closer to the truck cab than in another invention embodiment, the former affording more access to the enclosed space, as by standing on the truck bed, while the latter permits easy access by a user standing on the ground adjacent the truck bed. In either instance, conventional components are employed for elevating and maintaining the movable rear section of the cap or topper at the aforesaid operative position for access purposes.
