Abstract
A movable cargo rack assembly for installation on the cargo bed rails of a vehicle including a support assembly and a main arch that includes a leading edge, trailing edge, top segment, and side segments. The side segments extend downward from the top segment to body-side ends with insert portions that are received in stake holes in the cargo bed rails. The support assembly has two support arms with attachment ends that are pivotally connected to the cargo bed rails. The support assembly is pivotally connected to the main arch and is movable between a first configuration where the main arch is supported in two forward stake holes and the support arms extend out at an angle from the trailing edge and a second configuration where the main arch is supported in two rearward stake holes and the support arms extend out at an angle from the leading edge.
