Abstract:
A device for filling in the crack formed when a pickup or similar truck's tailgate is lowered from engagement with the truck bed. The device is rectilinear in cross sections, formed from a center section and two side sections, with the side sections having a bottom surface inwardly disposed cutout pattern at one end, and either a recess or insert on the interior end face for engagement with a corresponding insert or recess on the end faces of the center section. The front to back distance and the top to bottom distance are substantially equal to the dimensions of the crack where the device is intended to reside.
