Drop-Side Tailgate Load Bed Body (Pickup Truck)


A drop-side tailgate load bed body is a specific configuration of the cargo-carrying area of a pickup truck designed for enhanced versatility in loading and unloading materials and goods. While a standard pickup truck load bed features fixed side panels and a single hinged tailgate at the rear, a drop-side design incorporates articulated (hinged) panels on the sides in addition to the tailgate, allowing them to be lowered or removed.

The core components of this body type include:

  1. The Load Bed: The floor of the cargo area, typically a flat surface capable of supporting weight.
  2. Drop Sides: Lateral panels forming the sides of the bed. Unlike standard pickup beds, these sides are hinged at the bottom edge and secured with latches at the top and/or corners. When the latches are released, the sides can pivot downwards, resting horizontally or hanging vertically depending on the design and available space. Some designs allow for the complete removal of the side panels.
  3. Tailgate: The rear panel of the load bed, also hinged at the bottom. It functions similarly to a standard pickup tailgate, lowering to provide access to the rear of the bed or serving as a platform. It is secured with latches at the corners.
  4. Corner Posts/Pillars: Vertical structural elements at the corners of the load bed. These posts provide rigidity when the sides and tailgate are closed and latched, supporting the panels and the contained load. In many drop-side designs, these corner posts are removable, which, combined with dropped or removed sides and tailgate, effectively converts the load bed into a flat platform or a simple platform with a headboard.
  5. Headboard: A fixed panel located at the front of the load bed (behind the truck cab). This provides protection for the vehicle cab and occupants from shifting cargo.

    The primary functional advantage of a drop-side body is its ability to facilitate access from multiple sides. By lowering the side panels, goods can be loaded or unloaded using equipment like forklifts from the side, or bulky items can be more easily placed or retrieved by hand without having to reach over high fixed sides. Dropping all sides (sides and tailgate, and sometimes removing corner posts) creates a flat platform, useful for carrying wider loads that exceed the bed's width or for easy strapping down of large, irregularly shaped items.

    This type of load bed body is commonly found on light commercial vehicles, utility trucks, and pickup trucks used in various sectors, including construction, landscaping, agriculture, delivery services, and general trades where diverse cargo types and loading methods are encountered. Materials typically used for construction include steel or aluminum, offering durability and weight considerations respectively.

    Compared to a standard pickup bed, the drop-side body offers superior flexibility in loading and side access but may have a slightly different structural integrity profile when sides are down or removed. Compared to a dedicated flatbed truck, it retains the containment capabilities of sides when they are up and latched, offering a compromise between open platform utility and contained cargo security.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
