ABSTRACT:
A kit for making an extendible platform for a pickup box comprising, a set of instructions for assembling an extendible platform which utilizes a bracket for securing it to the bed of a pickup, a pair of tracks having upper and lower rails for securing to the bracket, a set of spacers for holding the tracks in a spaced relationship with one another, a set of rollers mountable to an extendible platform, with the rollers movable along the tracks to enable the extendible platform to be moved in and out of the pickup box, and an extendible platform having a set of rollers mounted thereon for engaging either the top or bottom rails of a pair of tracks mounted in a spaced relationship on the bed of a truck to enable the extendible platform to be cantilevered sufficiently far out of the truck so that at least some of the rollers clear the tailgate while others engage the tailgate enabling the remaining rollers to coact with the track to hold the extendible platform in a horizontal loading position even though one end of the extendible platform is cantilevered over the end of the tailgate of the vehicle.
