ABSTRACT:
A folding step attachment made of lightweight tubular metal provides improved entry access into the bed area of a truck. The attachment is secured at its base to the interior surface of the truck tailgate. A frame coupled to the base unfolds downwardly from the tailgate to an operative position whereupon a step coupled to the frame unfolds into a horizontal position to accommodate a user's foot. The step is adjustable to a desired height above the ground. In the folded or stand-by position, the attachment consumes little space in the bed area. An angle member is provided between the attachment and the upper edge of the tailgate to protect the tailgate against denting.
