ABSTRACT:
A rail mounting member that is to be positioned on the sidewall of a pickup truck or other vehicle having a cargo bed with a sidewall. The mounting rail has a hook member which hooks around the bottom flange of the sidewall and an upper surface which is adhesively attached to the upper surface of the sidewall of the truck. A securing surface is attached to the rail mounting member so as to extend inward into the bed of the vehicle and a plurality of mounting points are positioned on the securing surface. Preferably, the securing surface extends substantially the entire length of the rail mounting member so as to allow securing of cargo to the mounting member along its entire length. The rail mounting member has ribs and indentations formed on the top side which will receive a mounting plate having matching indentations formed on a bottom side. The mounting plate preferably includes a sleeve that can receive a vertical member for supporting vertically mounted structures such as light bars, overhead tool racks and the like. The mounting plate also includes a securing member that is positioned adjacent the securing surface of the rail mounting member so that a fastener can couple the mounting plate to the rail mounting member.
