<p>A pick up truck configuration is adaptable for carrying a cargo load (34) longer than the cargo box (40) and preferably at or above the wheel covers (39) protruding into the cargo box (40). An adaptable pick up truck configuration includes a cab portion (12) and a cargo box (40). A box panel portion (42) is pivotally connected to a front wall (41) of the cargo box (40) and is movable to a generally horizontal position in which the box panel portion (42) partially overlies and is supported by the wheel covers (39). The cargo box (40) includes a cargo box opening (45) when the box panel portion (42) is in the generally horizontal position. A cab panel portion (22) is pivotally mounted to the cab portion (12) and is movable between a generally vertical closed condition and a generally horizontal open position. The cab portion (12) has a cab opening (24) when the cab panel portion (22) is in the generally horizontal position and the cab opening (24) is at least partially aligned with the cargo box opening (45). Thus, the pick up truck configuration is adaptable to carry the cargo load (34) longer than the cargo box (40) through both the cab portion (12) and the cargo box (40) and also advantageously can carry a wider load above the wheel covers (39).</p> |
