ABSTRACT:
A cover system for the truck box of a pickup truck includes upstanding sides and front portion which define inwardly thereof an open area to be covered by a series of parallel edge to edge cover panels. The cover panels slide forwardly and rearwardly on a guide track and the guide track is divided at the front so that the panels form accordion folds in a fold section stored at the front of the structure. Two rear side parts at the rear of the cover can be pivoted about a a horizontal axis across the top. These rear portions carry a part of the guide track and a whole number of panels fill the area from the hinge to the bottom edge of the rear portion. Thus the rear portion can be pivoted about the hinge while the panels flex. Thus only a rear portion can be opened or the cover panels can be moved forwardly to various set locations or folded fully.
