Abstract
A pickup truck conversion dumping body comprises two separate assemblies; one comprising of an open cargo box (Dumper) configured to accommodate pickup truck cargo bed; a companion assembly comprising of a track system with a movable carriage (Shuttle) which may be manuevered back and forth with a chain drive. The two assemblies are attached to one another with the cargo box body riding upon the carriage and attached to the carriage with connecting links. The carriage is arranged into the track system with caster means allowing it to ride in a horizontal position under normal operation. An escape pattern is provided with the track system, which allows the cargo box to be easily tilted. When the carriage has traveled a predetermined distance, the cargo box is then tilted downward by the force of gravity, causing its contents to be dumped. When the cargo box body is not needed for dumping purposes it may be disconnected from carriage and may be parked aside much like a Camper The track system may also be removed, for the operator will soon discover that the carriage shuttle within the track system may be used for other purposes, such as delivery and unloading lumber and machinery.
