A rod-shaped wing arm 32 is provided at the front and rear ends of the vehicle (that is, the upper edge during normal traveling).
One ends of L and 32R may be fixed to each other. The other ends of the wing arms 32L and 32R are pivotally supported via pivots 36L and 36R on brackets 34 that are fixed to the center portions in the vehicle width direction at the upper end portions of the front wall 24 and the rear wall 26, respectively. . Further, the outer edges of the roof members 30L and 30R in the vehicle width direction are pivotally attached to the end edges of the left and right side walls 28L and 28R that are not in contact with the cargo bed 22, and the adjacent edges of the roof members 30L and 30R are adjacent to each other. Are pivoted to each other. As best shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the frames arranged at the front and rear edges of each roof member also serve as the connecting links 38L and 38R, so that the vehicle of each connecting link 38L, 38R is The outer ends in the width direction are pivotally attached to the wing arms 32L and 32R, and the ends on the longitudinal centerline side of the vehicle body are pivotally attached to each other, but of course, two or more arbitrary positions in the intermediate portion in the front-rear direction are provided. Then, the side wall 28
Roof members 30L and 30R can be pivotally attached to L and 28R, respectively.

As shown enlarged in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rear wall 26 has a substantially rectangular shape that extends upward from the vicinity of the cargo bed 22 in its central portion and reaches a position slightly below the roof. A rear door opening 40 is provided, and a rear door 44 is pivotably attached to a vertical edge of the opening 40 on the right side when viewed from the rear of the vehicle body through a hinge device 42 known per se so as to be openable and closable. Further, the lower end edge of the table member 48 is pivotally mounted near the lower end of the door opening 40 via a pivot 46. While the truck 10 is traveling, the table member 48 stands vertically along the inner side surface of the closed door 44 as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 3, and its upper end is locked by the holding member 50. . As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 4, the holding member 50 includes a crank member 52 and a U-shaped member 54 fixed to one end of the crank member 52. The shaft portion 52 'is rotatably supported by the beam member 56 that limits the door opening 40 of the rear wall 26.
