ABSTRACT:
A multiple use bed liner, loading ramps and ladder assembly for use with a pickup truck load carrying body capable of many selective arrangements to provide substantially universal use when associated with a pickup truck body. The assembly includes a rigid bed liner having a peripheral rigid frame supporting a tread plate or decking covering a substantial portion of the bottom of the pickup bed with the liner including rearwardly opening recesses to slidably receive a pair of loading ramps which can be moved from their stored position within the bed liner to an extended position to extend the length of the bed liner and pickup truck body and to an inclined position to serve as loading ramps capable of being used by various types of vehicles and also providing a walkway to facilitate access into the pickup truck body. Each of the ramps includes a ladder frame and a removable mesh panel so that the two ladder frames may be connected either in alignment or in a generally inverted U-shaped configuration to form a straight ladder or a modified stepladder. The bed liner when positioned in the pickup truck body provides a space for tool boxes, accessory boxes and the like between the side edges of the bed liner and the interior wall surfaces of the pickup truck body.
