ABSTRACT:
A truck bed air deflector comprises of an air deflector shield having a generally rectangular configuration. The air deflector shield is dimensioned to be received within a truck bed. A pair of spring-loaded hinges is secured to opposing end portions of a first end of the air deflector shield. The spring-loaded hinges have mounting brackets theresecured. The mounting brackets are adapted to be secured to the truck bed thereby securing the air deflector shield to the truck bed.

Each mounting bracket is secured to the truck bed adjacent to a second end of the air deflector shield. The locking latches are adapted to secure the second end of the air deflector shield in a stowed position.
