Abstract
A pick-up truck having a bed with a front wall, two side walls, and a tailgate, has a tonneau cover installed over the bed. The tonneau cover comprises a set of interconnected rail members, a pair of cross members, and a flexible cover. The cover has a pocket attached to the underside for storage of items that are small, fragile or valuable. The pocket may be partitioned into smaller compartments for selective isolation of items from other items. The pocket is attached to the tonneau cover by stitches that are used along a perimeter of the cover.
