Demountable carrier rack assembly for pickup truck

In a carrier rack assembly for use in combination with the sidewalls of a pickup truck bed, the sidewalls having stake holes adjacent to corners thereof, the combination comprising:

• a primary framework configured for securing to the sidewalls adjacent the front end of the pickup truck bed, the primary framework having first and second generally upright chassis post members configured for being received within the stake holes adjacent the front corners of the bed;
• a secondary structural framework removably mountable to the sidewalls of the truck bed adjacent to the rear thereof, said secondary framework having first and second generally upright chassis post members configured for being received within the stake holes adjacent to the rear corners of the bed when assembled thereon, said chassis post members of said secondary framework being in general alignment with the chassis post members of said primary framework and, said secondary framework having cross member means adjacent the upper ends of said secondary framwork chassis post members;
• first and second generally elongate members, each having means at opposite ends thereof for removably affixing to the upper ends of aligned ones of said chassis post members of each sidewall;
• adjustable load bar means transversly extending between said elongate members;
• each of said elongate member include a channel portion with both channel portions being in facing relation with said load bar means slidably receivable within said facing channel portions, and said secondary framework cross member means comprises cross members in telescoping relation adjacent the upper ends of said secondary framework chassis post members;
• said load bar means includes a generally elongate tubular body portion and first and second T-bar means in the open ends thereof;
• said primary framework includes means for releasably receiving said secondary framework thereon when removed from the rear stake holes;
• and
• said primary framework further includes stirrup means for releasably retaining said load bar means with said load bar means removed from said carrier rack assembly and said T-bar means are spring biased outwardly.
