ABSTRACT:
An adapter for connecting a bed rail to a truck box includes a mounting block (10) having a threaded mounting fastener aperture (15). The mounting block (10) also includes a groove (12) which has a configuration which matches that of the cross sectional configuration of the bed rail (30). A threaded bed rail bore (13) is positioned in the block (10) to allow a set screw (14) to firmly hold the bed rail (30) after is has been inserted into the mounting block (10). The mounting block (10) is secured to the storage box (10) by means of a threaded bolt which is inserted through a mounting fastener opening (22) in the mounting section (20a) of the storage box (20). The bolt goes through the storage box (20) mounting block (10) and is held in position by a nut (80).
