ABSTRACT:
A truck bed is releasably attached to a pair of spaced operating arms, which are mounted on the truck frame either to be moved up and down on the frame with arcuate, translational movement about a pair of spaced, parallel shafts that extend transversely of the frame, or to be pivoted at one end about one of the shafts in order to dump a load from the bed. A manually operable selector mechanism is provided, and in one position releasably secures one end of the operating members for pivotal movement about one of the shafts, while at the same time releasably securing the second shaft to the operating members for pivotal movement therewith. In its other position the selector mechanism releases the second shaft from the operating members and secures it against any movement while releasing said one ends of the operating members for translational movement, so that upon operation of an associated drive mechanism the two members are swung with arcuate, translational movement about the shafts. Whenever the bed is raised with translational movement it is automatically detached from the operating members so that it can be held by collapsible legs, or the like, in an elevated position above the truck frame. Conversely, when the bed is lowered by the members it is automatically reattached to the members. Several embodiments of the bed detaching and reattaching means are illustrated.
