Abstract
A flat bed truck for hauling vehicles of all types as well as other types of loads which includes a multi-positional flat bed to assist with loading and unloading the truck. The flat bed is slidable on a tilt frame and pivots away from the tilt frame and along the loading surface as the tilt frame is pivoted up and away from the truck. The fully extended loading position of the flat bed placing the front end of the flat bed below the undercarriage of the truck permits low clearance vehicles to be easily loaded onto the flat bed by a powered winch positioned on the flat bed. Also, the tilt frame is capable of rising to its full height to quickly dump loads that do not require extending the flat bed.
