Abstract

See full text

A selectively extendable tailgate section for a cargo bed of a pick-up truck. The tailgate section may be telescopically extended from the main body of the cargo bed to expand the cargo area as necessary. The telescoping tailgate section carries the flip-down gate and the tail lights of the vehicle keeping these features in tact regardless of the expanded position of the tailgate section. The telescoping tailgate section includes side walls and a bottom which are telescopically received within the fixed sides and bottom of the cargo bed. Rails support the expanded bed and are supported by a plurality of rollers for easy movement of the tailgate section. Additional structure support may be added to the tailgate section for improved structural capacity.
