A unique and novel tailgate construction consisting of an inner panel and an outer panel hinged in such a way as to extend the axially secured length of the cargo bed of a pickup truck by approximately 18 inches when the outer panel is secured in a horizontal position and the inner panel secured in a vertical position wherein the strength, economics and styling of the design are accomplished by means of a unique sheet metal construction wherein the inner surfaces of both panels have an undulating configuration that mate into an intermeshing relationship when the panels are abutting thereby producing a high bending strength to composite thickness ratio which in turn is highly adaptable to the vehicle's styling.
