Abstract
Abstract In a load carrying vehicle such as a pick-up truck, a cross-beam spans the load carrying area and is connected at each end thereof to a vertical stake mounted in a stake pocket which is normally part of the vehicle body. The load can be secured against the cross-beam with a load retainer, such as a chain and cinch mechanism, the ends of which are firmly attached to the stakes.
