ABSTRACT:
An elongated divider panel comprising a widened bead-like top rail, an integrally attached thin intermediate portion and an integrally attached widened mount-base at the bottom thereof. The mount-base rests atop strut channel members, and is adjustably securable thereon allowing the divider panel to be shifted laterally as desired. The mount-base includes vertical through-bores for accepting bolts for bolting the mount-base atop the strut channel members. Spring-nuts are utilized within the strut channel members to receive the bolts mounting the mount-base. The vertical bores of the mount-base include space to recess the bolt heads. Multiple strut channel members are used in spaced parallel relationship to one another and extending transversely to the long axis of a fire truck cargo bed and the divider panel. Plank-like metal slats extend lengthwise between the strut channel members and define a cargo bed false-bottom the top of which is approximately flush yet slightly below the top surface of the strut channel members so as to not interfere with the lateral repositioning of the divider panel. The divider panel with mount-base and top rail is integrally formed as a one-piece structure by extrusion of aluminum or an alloy thereof. A second and somewhat similar extending panel including a grooved attachment-base is provided for attachment to the top rail of the divider panel for extending the overall height of the divider.
