Pickup truck stake arrangement

A truck stake arrangement suitable for use in enclosing the bed of a pickup truck, comprising:

• (a) a delta truck stake having a tapered bottom end removably seatable in the side wall pockets of a pickup truck bed;
• (b) a plurality of dovetail slots in the wide wall of said delta stake, said slots being parallel and extending along a portion of the length thereof;
• (c) a panel-receiving and supporting bracket defining a lateral groove therein for receipt and support of a wall enclosure panel;
• (d) a dovetail ridge extending along a portion of the length of said bracket and slidably and interchangeably received within said dovetail slots in said delta stake;
• and
• (e) a plastic plug press-fitted into the tapered bottom end of said delta stake, said plug having a projection extending therefrom adapted for insertion into the drain hole in the bottom of a truck bed pocket to stabilize said delta stake therein.

A truck stake suitable for use in enclosing the bed of a pickup truck, comprising:

• a length of rigid elongated material having a generally constant delta shape in longitudinal cross section including a wide wall, said cross section along at least a portion of said length further including:
• (a) a first rigid wall secured to and forming a generally coplanar outward extension of the wide wall of the delta-shaped cross section;
• (b) a U-shaped wall configuration defining a first panel-supporting groove, said U-shaped configuration being secured to said first wall with the groove therein opening generally perpendicularly to said first wall;
• and
• (c) an L-shaped wall configuration with one leg thereof being secured to and extending generally perpendicularly from said first wall and the wide wall of the delta-shaped cross section, said L-shaped configuration defining a second panel-supporting groove opening generally perpendicularly to said first groove.
