    Abstract: A cover system for a pickup truck bed having an open top defined by vertical spaced apart side walls, and a front wall is disclosed. The cover system includes a rollable cover unit which has the capability of being either completely or partially extended or retracted to close or expose the truck bed. The cover portion consists of a multiplicity of adjacent transverse rigid panels which are continuously connected along their transverse length by flexible resilient connecting strip members of flexible and water resistant material. The cover unit is extended or retracted by a drive system located at the upper forward section of the truck bed. The drive system includes one or more pinion-type cylindrical drive roller members intermediate the side walls of the truck bed which are in driving contact with and have teeth to positively engage rack-type teeth on the underside of the cover panels.
