ABSTRACT:
A bed liner for pick-up trucks incorporating the features of multi-component construction, releasable connection with the side-walls, and an integral, nonintrusive cargo restraint capability. Specifically, the bed liner is composed of a durable, resilient material with individual panels for each longitudinal side-wall, floor, front wall and tail gate of the pick-up truck bed. The bed liner panels are secured to the pick-up truck bed by a releasable system, such as VELCRO, which is a registered trademark for a hook and loop fastener system. Each interior surface of the bed liner panel is provided with a series of regularly spaced, vertically oriented grooves. Cargo restraint is achieved by selectively inserting a planar retaining member, such as a predetermined number of stacked 2.times.4's, into opposing grooves on opposite sides of the bed. This may be either longitudinal between the front wall and the tailgate, or transverse between the side-walls.
