Pick-up truck bed attachment

An attachment for a pick-up truck bed having an open topped rectangular box with upright sides, the attachment comprising:

• a plurality of vertical supports having a lower end constructed to be attached to the pick-up truck bed;
• a flat bed affixed to upper ends of the vertical supports;
• racks pivotally attached adjacent edges of the flat bed for movement between a first upright position and a second lowered position by a plurality of pivots affixed to the flat bed;
• the racks having locking means that lock the racks to each other in the first upright position,
• each pivot being formed by a base member affixed to the flat bed, the base member extending vertically from the flat bed, the base member having a rod extending from the base member in opposite horizontal directions, the rod being positioned vertically on the base member above said flat bed to allow a tie down rope to be wound under the rod to hold a load down when the racks are not being used, and
• each rack having at least one plate with a hole therein affixed to a lower portion of the rack, the holes being aligned so that they mate with the rods and can be slid over the ends of the rods to easily put on and take off the racks to thereby allow the truck to haul using either the racks or a tie down rope, the plate having a thickness and the rod having a horizontal portion extending from the base member in the opposite horizontal directions a distance greater than the thickness of the plate.
