ABSTRACT:
A bed partition arrangement for a utility vehicle such as a pickup truck in which a flat panel has laterally opposed side edges and a bottom edge. A pair of latches are disposed at the respective side edges of the panel, with each latch including a latch bar for engagement with opposed longitudinally spaced openings in a pair of rails mounted along opposed sidewalls of the vehicle bed. The latch bars are urged by coil springs laterally outwardly of the panel for releasable locking engagement with openings in the side rails, and the latch bars are movable by handles inwardly against the springs for selective positioning of the panel lengthwise of the vehicle bed. Resilient feet are carried along the bottom edge of the panel for compressive frictional engagement with the floor of the vehicle bed when the panel is mounted between the side rails to hold the panel in position and prevent the panel from swinging about the axis of the latches.
