Abstract
A pick-up bed rail assembly for a truck box includes a pair of elongate rails which are mounted to the sides of a truck box. A telescoping cross member is received in each elongate rail and moves along the rails by means of a plurality of rollers positioned between the cross member and the rails. A locking mechanism is provided for securing the cross bar to the rails in order to prevent cargo theft. The locking mechanism includes a knob which is freely rotatable when the mechanism is locked.
