The present invention provides an adjustable mounting assembly for use with a truck having a truck bed cover. Generally, the assembly includes hinge couplings that are detachedly fixed to a truck bed cover support frame. The hinge couplings hingedly attach to a lower hinge bar detachedly secured to the top edge of the truck bed cab wall. The lower hinge assembly provides a support channel for a base portion of first and second L-shaped hinge rails. The support channel allows the installer to adjust the hinge rails to the width of the track bed in which the assembly is being installed. Clamp assemblies are provided to fasten the elongated portions of the hinge rails to the side walls of the truck bed whereby the mounting assembly is secured to the truck bed without having to drill mounting holes. The hingedly attached truck bed cover moves pivotally about a pivot point along the top edge of the truck bed cab wall. The mounting assembly provides increased accessibility to the cargo area beyond that provided by conventional means used to install truck bed covers.
