Abstract
A system for covering the box and bed of a pick-up truck includes a tarp, a pair of side rails, an end rail and a cam latch associated with each side rail. The tarp includes beads associated with its edges. These beads cooperate with slots in the rails to fix the edges of the tarp to the rails. The cam latches are provided to interact with the end rail to stretch the tarp and help secure it in place over the bed and box of the pick-up truck.
