MATERIAL SPREADER FOR TRUCKS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A material spreader usable at the rear of dump trucks for distributing sand, salt, gravel, asphalt and the like, utilizes a dispensing means to drop material downwardly from the rear of the truck bin. A conveyor is positioned below the dis- pensing means and has a hopper to receive dropping material. The conveyor moves the material laterally to the right or left side of the truck. One or more flat, generally rectangular shields are swingably mounted to the hopper to swing between an operating position, wherein the shield overlies the hopper, intercepts falling material, and serves as a ramp in guiding it rearwardly and downwardly over the hopper to drop it behind the truck, and a storage position, wherein the shield is clear of the hopper so that material from the dispensing means moves freely into the hopper so as to be conveyed laterally by the conveyor. Latches are provided to retain the shields in storage and blocking posi- tions. A splash panel is provided forwardly of the conveyor to intercept snow, mud, and the like which would otherwise be splashed into the conveyor by the moving truck.
