Abstract
Provided is a combination for partitioning a pick-up truck bed defined by a front wall, a rear tailgate, first and second laterally spaced side walls, first and second wheel house inners, and a floor into smaller compartments. The bed includes a first plurality of vertically disposed channels integrally formed in the first side wall, a second plurality of vertically disposed channels integrally formed in the second side wall and at least one bulkhead member. The bed further includes a vertical channel disposed in both the first and second wheel house inners. The bulkhead members are adapted to be slidably inserted into a pair of corresponding opposing coplanar channels. The vertically disposed channels extend a substantial portion of the vertical length of the first and second side walls.
