Abstract
A truck bed storage system provides multiple different use configurations, including a cap, a rack, and a bed cover. Elements of the system are reconfigurable to assemble the different use configurations. The system is easily assembled, reconfigured, or disassembled. The system includes a modular frame which connects to the truck bed and is used in the rack and cap configurations. A bed cover is removably attached to the top of the frame in the cap configuration, and connects to the top of the bed in the bed cover configuration. Removable panels attach to the frame in the cap configuration.

A storage system for a cooperating truck bed having side walls and a length from front to rear, the storage system comprising:
- one or more supports configured to connect to the side walls of the truck bed and extend along the length of the truck bed, each of the supports further configured to connect to at least one of the front of the truck bed and the rear of the truck bed;
- a modular frame configured for connection to the one or more supports, the frame including a front frame section, a rear frame section, and two side frame sections each including a longitudinal bar, the frame configurable to a first assembled position having four sides and a top;
- one or more panels, each of the panels removably connectable to one of the frame sections when the frame is in the first assembled position;
- a cover being removably attachable to the top of the frame when the frame is in the first assembled position, and the cover being removably attachable to the one or more supports without being attached to the frame;
- and
- wherein the storage system is positionable into at least two configurations selected from the group of configurations including:
- a cap including the frame configured in the first assembled position, the cover attached to the top of the frame, and the one or more panels each connected to one of the frame sections;
- a rack including the frame configured in the first assembled position;
- a headache rack including the front frame section configured to be load-bearing without being attached to any of the side frame sections or the rear frame section;
- and
- a bed cover including the one or more supports and the cover attached to the one or more supports.
A storage system for cooperation with a truck bed having side walls and a length from front to rear, a cover, and one or more panels, the storage system comprising:
- one or more supports configured to connect to the side walls of the truck bed and extend along the length of the truck bed, each of the supports further configured to connect to at least one of the front of the truck bed and the rear of the truck bed;
- a modular frame configured for connection to the one or more supports, the frame including a front frame section, a rear frame section, and two side frame sections each including a longitudinal bar, the frame configurable to a first assembled position having four sides and a top;
- wherein, when the frame is in the first assembled position, the frame is configured for removable connection of the one or more panels to one of the frame sections and removable connection of the cover to the top of the frame;
- wherein, the supports are configured for removable connection of the cover thereto;
- and
- wherein the frame is positionable into at least two configurations including:
- a rack including the frame configured in the first assembled position;
- and
- a headache rack including the front frame section configured to be load-bearing without being attached to any of the side frame sections or the rear frame section.
