The Ambo!
Appreciate the compliments! It swings out and in very easily, thanks to the axle bearings. Just loaded the bike back inside for the trip home. Took less than five minutes from start to finish to load it back in by myself!

I ended up welding a little bit on it last night, and have a few more adjustments to make. Once the back windows are removed, I will be able to install the pocket for the handle bar end so it can sit close to the truck fro traveling.

A whole lot more room to walk around when the bed is done. Heck, I can mix a drink and get a piece of cake at night now!

WHat did you cut that stuff with? Jig saw? Looks too clean and straight. Nice.

I used a chop saw with a blade for aluminum.

Getting the back deck ready for use!

The strap is temporary, it will have struts to support the end.

Then it will fold out of the way when not in use.
