Abstract
A truck bed extension device ( ) for use with a truck ( ) having a cargo bed structure, wherein the device ( ) allows for carrying items which extend beyond or overhang the bed structure. The device ( ) comprises a deck ( ); a support structure ( ); and a signaling system ( ). The deck ( ) is horizontally adjustable relative to the bed structure so as to allow for achieving a desired spacing therebetween. The deck ( ) is also vertically offset when unloaded so as to be substantially flush when loaded. Because the device ( ) or the load carried thereon may obstruct viewing of the truck's existing brake and turn signals, the signaling system ( ) repeats these signals where they are more visible. A second embodiment of the device ( ) provides a hitch structure ( ) for coupling the truck with a trailer via the device ( ).
