ABSTRACT:
An improved slope plate assembly is provided for a truck box for use in transporting particulate material. The slope plate assembly includes a plurality of slope plate sections pivotally connected to the opposite side walls of the truck box so as to be movable between a raised inoperative position and a lowered operative position. In the lowered position, particulate material flows by gravity along the slope plate sections for discharge into an auger assembly residing below the floor of the truck box. In the raised position, bulk material or other cargo can be loaded into the truck box. A multiple-piece dividing wall can also be installed in the truck box to divide the box into multiple compartments, with the slope plates being in the lowered position in the forward compartment and in the raised position in the rearward compartment, such that particulate material may be transported in the forward compartment and bulk material transported in the rearward compartment.
