The extension apparatus (110) includes a frame assembly (111) having upper and lower frame members (112a, b) which are interconnected by a flexible member (116) attached at the lower and upper edges thereof to the lower and upper frame members (112a, b). The frame assembly is adjustable between raised and lowered positions. The extension apparatus further includes jack means (118) attached to the lower and upper frame members (112a, b) on a cargo bed side of the flexible member and pivotal about a horizontal axis parallel to the flexible member (116) for raising said upper frame member (112b) into the raised position. The frame assembly is suitably attached to the top of the sidewalls (20) of a cargo bed area. A stabilizing bar member (192) interconnects one of the upper frame members (112a) and one of the lower frame members (112b) on opposite sides of the frame assembly (111). Gas spring actuators (196) at the ends of the frame assembly (111) facilitate in raising the frame assembly (111).
