ABSTRACT:
A pickup truck bed cover having a flexible envelope disposed about a rigid panel. One cover is formed of a vinyl material encompassing a rigid, expanded polystyrene panel reinforced with embedded steel members. The rigid panels are preferably removable through reversibly closable slits in the flexible envelope. One cover has a seam or hinge extending along an axis from front to rear, allowing the cover to be swung open to expose either the right or left half of the pickup truck bed. One cover is foldable along a seam or hinge and has handles, allowing the cover to be folded in two and either stowed within the truck bed or carried from the vehicle.
