Abstract
The pick-up cargo box removal tool includes a generally vertical mast attached to a carriage supported by wheels. A slider assembly is slidably mounted on the mast. A winch is mounted on the slider assembly. A winch has a winch cable that extends from a winch drum, over a cable guide pulley journaled on the mast, and has a free cable end attached to the slider assembly. The rear end of a cargo box is pivotally connected to the slider assembly for pivotal movement about a transverse horizontal axis. The front portion of the cargo box is supported by two side rail engaging plates. The side rail engaging plates are secured to the slider assembly and are adjustable vertically relative to the slider assembly.
