FIG. 2 is an enlarged front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is an enlarged top plan view thereof;

FIG. 4 is an enlarged bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a right side elevational view thereof, at a greatly enlarged scale, the opposite end being a mirror image of that shown;

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 6--6 of FIG. 2 at an enlarged scale and showing the horizontal members as being generally teardrop-shaped in cross-section;

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of a truck tail gate taken along a line similar to 6--6 of FIG. 2 at an enlarged scale wherein the only differences resides in the horizontal members being round in cross-section;

FIG. 8 is a rear elevational view of FIG. 2;

FIG. 9 is a front elevational view of a third embodiment of a truck tail gate showing our new design, the only differences being that the ends of the horizontal members extend into the vertical end panels and there is only a single centrally located vertical support for the horizontal members;
