ABSTRACT:
A truck bed extender includes a receiver mounted at the forward end of the truck bed with a pair of trusses removably connected to the receiver and extending rearwardly beyond the length of the bed so as to cantilever rearwardly beyond the truck bed. Each truss has an upper member which slopes forwardly and downwardly from a rearward end, and a shim plate on the bottom surface of a length less than the length of the truck bed, to support the trusses on the truck bed. A cross-member is connected between the trusses to maintain them in spaced apart parallel relationship.
