The stabilizing system is provided at each side, respectively, of the vehicle and can move into and out of engagement with the cargo yet the mounting means for the stabilizing system is recessed into the hollow space between the inner and outer side walls of the vehicle. The stabilizing system includes a side panel or a pair of vertically spaced, parallel side panels for each side of the vehicle respectively. The mounting means for the side panels comprises support arms which are pivotally mounted on the ribs between the inner and outer walls. The mounting means includes sleeves welded to brackets affixed to the ribs. The sleeves are concealed between the vehicle side walls and the arms extend through slots in the inner side wall. The shaft of one of the pivot arms of each of the panels extends downwardly to a location below the floor of the vehicle and coupled with the shaft to cause rotation of the shaft to an angle of 90.degree. to thereby shift the corresponding panel from a retracted position to an expanded position and return. The power device has a lock thereon for locking the panels against the load regardless of how far the panels have projected inwardly from the adjacent inner side wall of the vehicle.
