A truck utility rack which is made up of assemblable pieces which allow for different configuration of size and shape. It is easy to assemble and disassemble and is light weight making it easy to store and transport when not in use. When stored in a noise (rattle) suppressing carrying case, can be carried in the cab of a truck without interfering with passengers. The truck rack can be put up in part, i. e. , one vertical stanchion just to hand objects from on the back of a pickup truck or it can be assembled as the more typical rectangular overhead rack for carrying objects above the bed of a pickup truck.
