ABSTRACT:
To provide flow of grain controlled in amount and direction, an end gate for a truck comprises an end gate body adapted to be fastened to the end panel of a truck having three vertically slidable door panels in it and a single lever operated drive plate. Each of the door panels includes a separate latch by which it is connected to the drive plate. The door panels are mounted in parallel track members with cut-away portions and a member extending upwardly from the bottom edge of the door panel when the door panel is in its uppermost position to hold the lower portion of the door panels. The latches include hinges movable from a location over an L-shaped flange on the longitudinally extending drive plate and away from said longitudinally extending plate and the latch cam may be moved to engage the hinge and press it against said longitudinally extending plate for connecting said drive means to said door panel.
