Abstract
An apparatus for extending the effective width and length of a bed of a truck. Two runners mount onto the track via pedestals and have cradles to hold the cross bars in place. The cross bars span the width of the truck so that loads wider than the width of the track between the wheel wells can be carried. The apparatus also includes telescoping runners which extend outward up to two feet to hold longer cargo.
