ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a stake pocket tie-down anchor for pickup trucks which includes an L-shaped member having a vertical leg, with a threaded hole formed therein, which extends into the stake pocket so that it lies adjacent to the inner side wall of the stake pocket on the inside of the bed; and a horizontal leg, which extends past the outer edge of the stake pocket and across the top of the side rail. A tie-down connection member, preferably a hook, is attached to the horizontal leg and extends upwardly. A clamping plate, which has a hole formed therein, combines with a threaded bolt that passes through the hole in the clamping plate, through a hole in the inner side wall of the stake pocket, and into the threaded hole of the vertical leg, so that, upon tightening this bolt, the vertical leg is drawn toward the inner side wall of the stake pocket, thereby rigidly securing the tie-down anchor within the stake pocket of the pickup bed by forcing the horizontal leg tightly against the top of the side rail of the pickup or clamping the inner side wall between the vertical leg and the clamping plate.
