A loading device to be fixedly secured to the bed of a pick-up truck for loading and unloading vehicles into and from the bed thereof, which includes a pair of transversely spaced parallel slideways within a rectangular metal frame and a pair of pivotally connected, in tandem, rigid ramp sections, the forward one of said ramp sections being slidably mounted within said slideways and the other more rearward one being swingable to a vertical position and connectable thereat to the conventional latching mechanism at the rear end of the side walls of a pick-up truck. Devices are also provided for releasably securing said more rearward ramp section, when in loading position, in an extended planar relation with the slidable forward ramp section to cooperatively provide a single planar ramp to the bed of a pick-up truck. The more rearward ramp section functions as a tailgate for the pick-up truck when received in said vertical position and so secured to the conventional latch mechanism at the rear end of the sidewalls of the pick-up truck.
