A truck bed extender is described for use with a pickup truck having a bed with a bed floor, opposed side walls along each side of the bed floor and a tailgate hinged at the rear of the bed floor. Spaced, parallel, telescoping arms are pivotally attached at their inner ends to hinge assemblies secured to the floor of the bed adjacent the rear of the bed. A horizontal crossbar providing support for elongated articles is attached to the outer ends of the arms with crossbar connectors. Each hinge assembly includes an eyebolt with a shank inserted into a bore in the bed floor and a yoke attached to the inner end of an arm, with the ears of the yoke attached by a coupling bolt or pin that extends through bores in the yoke ears and the eye of the eyebolt.

1. A truck bed extender for use with a pickup truck having a bed with a longitudinal centerline, a bed floor with spaced floor bores equidistant from said centerline and aligned transverse to said centerline, a vertical front wall at the front of the bed floor, opposed side walls along each side of the bed floor, and a tailgate having a raised vertical position and a lowered horizontal position hinged at the rear of the bed floor comprising: a) first and second telescoping extension arms, each arm having an inner end and an outer end with a crossbar connector;b) hinge assemblies pivotally attaching the inner ends of said extension arms to said bed floor, said hinge assemblies including an eyebolt having an eye and a shank insertable into a floor bore, a yoke attached to the inner end of an extension arm and spaced yoke ears with aligned bores positionable on either side of said eyebolt, and a latching pin or bolt insertable through said ear bores and said eyebolt eye; andc) a crossbar attached to the said crossbar connectors, wherein said bed extender is pivotal between a rearward horizontal orientation against said tailgate when said tailgate is in its lowered position and a forward horizontal orientation against said bed floor, said extender extending rearwardly beyond the tailgate when in the rearward horizontal orientation. 2. The truck bed extender of claim 1, wherein each of said telescoping arms includes an outer tubular section and in an inner section slidable within said outer tubular section. 3. The truck bed extender of claim 1, further including tailgate hinge assemblies attachable to the inner side of said tailgate and to said extension arms. 4. The truck bed extender of claim 1, further including a platform attachable to said extension arms. 5. The truck bed extender of claim 1, wherein said hinge assemblies are adjacent the tailgate of said truck bed. 6. The truck bed extender of claim 1, further including locking means to secure said crossbar to said arms. 7. A pickup truck and a truck bed extender combination comprising: a) a pickup truck having a bed with a longitudinal centerline, a bed floor with spaced floor bores equidistant from said centerline and aligned transverse to said centerline, a vertical front wall at the front of the bed floor, opposed side walls along each side of the bed floor, and a tailgate having a raised vertical position and a lowered horizontal position hinged at the rear of the bed floor; andb) the truck bed extender including first and second telescoping extension arms, each arm having an inner end and an outer end with a crossbar connector, hinge assemblies pivotally attaching the inner ends of said extension arms to said bed floor, said hinge assemblies including an eyebolt having an eye and a shank insertable into a floor bore, a yoke attached to the inner end of an extension mm and spaced yoke ears with aligned bores positionable on either side of said eyebolt, and a latching pin or bolt insertable through said ear bores and said eyebolt eye; and a crossbar attached to the said crossbar connectors, wherein said bed extender is pivotal between a rearward horizontal orientation against said tailgate when said tailgate is in its lowered position and a forward horizontal orientation against said bed floor, said extender extending rearwardly beyond the tailgate when in the rearward horizontal orientation. 8. The pickup truck and truck bed extender combination of claim 7, wherein each of said telescoping arms includes an outer tubular section and an inner section slidable within said outer tubular section. 9. The pickup truck and truck bed extender combination of claim 7, further including tailgate hinge assemblies attachable to the inner side of said tailgate and to said extension arms. 10. The pickup truck and truck bed extender combination of claim 7, further including a platform attachable to said extension arms. 11. The pickup truck and truck bed extender combination of claim 7, wherein said hinge assemblies are adjacent the tailgate of said truck bed. 12.
