ABSTRACT:
A rigid pickup truck cargo supporting V shaped frame comprises necessary structural members to hole it in a V shape and to allow its narrow end frame work to be coupled to the rear of a pickup truck, below the cargo bed level, per the pickup truck's standard type trailer hitch coupler bail. The wider portion of the V shaped frame extends a number of feet rearward in a slight upward slope away from the pickup truck's rear end. A long member attached crossways at the wide end of the V shaped frame provides a cargo load carrying surface. The V shaped frame is supported and made laterally stable by a square like frame which can be attached crossways at any of several points along the more forward or more narrow section of the V shaped frame. The square like frame extends up vertically from the V shaped frame to the lowered pickup truck tailgate. The long horizontal upper member of the square like frame rest on the lowered pickup truck tailgate for support. The upper section of the square like frame can be rotated rearward to dismount it from the pickup truck tailgate. The long horizontal upper member of the square like frame is held against the pickup truck tailgate per the use of a 5/8".times.6" bolt screwed through a small box like frame that is mounted, along with its other related parts, to a rigid member of the V shaped frame.
