    Abstract: A tie down fitting adapted to fit within a stake hole in a side wall section of a pickup truck or other structure. The fitting includes a double wedge and heads dimensioned for insertion through the stake hole for engagement within the stake hole sides. A special threaded fastener lifts the double wedge separating the heads and forcing them against the stake hole sides. The fastener is designed to receive several threaded devices or various quick release pins for engagement by a cargo securing line or the like.
