A collapsible cargo carrier (A) is installed on the bed (B) of a pickup truck. A pair of posts (3, 13) each have one end hingedly connected to one end of respective base rails (1, 11) for raising and lowering the posts. A pair of second posts (4, 14) each have one end slidably received in a slot (C) formed in the respective first posts. The slots extend substantially the length of the first posts for the second posts to be moved relative thereto. A pair of top rails (8, 18) each have one end connected to the other end of the respective first posts. The other end of each second post is slidably received in a slot in the respective top rails. Movable load clamps (9, 30) extend between the top rails to accommodate cargo of different sizes and clamp the cargo in place on the top of the carrier. The carrier construction allows different sizes and shapes of cargo to be conveniently and safely transported from one place to another. By having the capability to support this cargo while elevated above the truck bed, room for the storage and transport of other articles is readily available. The cargo is easily assembled and installed on the floor of a truck bed and removed after the cargo is delivered to its destination risers, or left in place for subsequent usage.
