Abstract

A tie down assembly including a fitting adapted to fit within a stake hole in a wall section of a pickup truck. The lower plate is dimensioned and configured for insertion through the stake hole for engagement with the underside of the wall section. An upper plate of the fitting engages the upper side of the section and is secured to the lower plate by a fastener assembly. In one embodiment aligned slots in the plates receive a retainer member for pivotal movement between a recessed position flush with the wall section to a projected position where it is adapted for engagement by a cargo securing line or the like. In another embodiment the fastener assembly projects above the truck bed side walls for engagement by securing or clamping elements. A number of such fittings enable securement of cargo on the truck bed or, in conjunction with a clamping assembly, the securement of a camper top or the like onto the truck side walls.
