A truck bed tarp and storing system includes a housing unit that has a bottom side, a top side, a front edge with a slot, and a hollow between the two. The bottom side of the housing unit has a pair of brackets that are coupled to a forward portion of a truck bed of a pickup truck. Also, a roller mechanism is mounted within the hollow of the housing unit. The roller mechanism has a roller and an axle. Included is a tarp that has a first end attached to the roller. The tarp has a second end that extends through the second slot and a middle portion. A spring is disposed about the axle and interior of the housing unit. Lastly, the tarp is deployed off the roller within the housing by pulling the second end of the tarp out and over the truck bed. The tarp is secured to a pair of side walls of the truck.
