A lifting apparatus for use in the bed of a pickup truck having a lifting bar of a generally U-shaped configuration with one side pivotally connected to a side wall of the bed of the pickup truck and an opposite side pivotally connected to another side wall of the bed of the pickup truck. A cylinder has a piston rod extending outwardly therefrom. This piston rod has an end pivotally connected to a linkage connected to the lifting bar. The cylinder is actuatable so as to move the piston rod between a retracted position and an extended position such that the lifting bar is pivotable relative to the movement of the piston rod. The linkage has a scissor-like configuration which allows the lifting bar to be stowed completely within the interior of the bed of the pickup truck.
