Abstract: A combination camper shell and lumber rack for a pickup truck. A framework is mounted on the truck and used as a lumber rack when the covering shell is not installed, and then when desired the lumber rack is readily converted to a framework for supporting a covering shell. The lumber rack is structured so that it may be converted to a full camper shell frame by setting in place several rafter members that are adapted to be removably mounted across the top of the lumber rack frame to define the camper top profile. A flexible foldable soft top is shaped and arranged to extend over the lumber rack frame with the rafters in position and to be secured in position so as to enclose the frame. The walls of the shell are formed of a fabric, plastic or equivalent material shaped to cooperate with the frame and be supported thereby to define the camper covering sheet.
