ABSTRACT:
A stabilizer kit for installation in a pickup truck to secure loads within the cargo area of the truck. The kit includes a pair of elongated side rails for securement to the side walls of the pickup; a plurality of crossbars extending transversely of the truck at longitudinally spaced locations within the cargo area and each mounted at its opposite ends for sliding longitudinal adjusting movement on the respective side rails; and an accessory bar extending downwardly from one of the crossbars and mounted at its upper end for sliding transverse adjusting movement on the crossbar. A pin assembly is provided for locking each crossbar in selected positions of longitudinal adjustment on the side rails and for locking the accessory bar in selected positions of transverse adjustment on the crossbar. Further accessories include a telescoping bar secured at its respective opposite ends to longitudinally spaced crossbars; an elongated brace secured at one end to one of the crossbars and extending longitudinally within the cargo area for engagement at its free end with the lower end of an accessory bar to brace the accessory bar; a further accessory bar including socket means sided to slidably receive a 2.times.4 so as to enable the 2.times.4 to extend upwardly to a location above the side rails to provide cargo containment in the area above the side rails; and a further accessory bar including a clamp mounted on the lower end of the bar and selectively movable longitudinally relative to the accessory bar to precisely engage a load in the cargo area.
