Abstract: A stabilizer for articles carried within a vehicle bed embodying an elongated support member extending transversely of the vehicle bed and attached thereto. A movable member beneath the support member is of a length to move inwardly of the bed and across the articles carried therein. A pair of actuators carried by the elongated support member are adapted for longitudinal movement toward and away from each other. A link is pivotally connected at one end to each actuator with its other end pivotally connected to the movable member so that upon movement of the actuators in one direction relative to each other the movable member is moved away from the article within the vehicle bed and upon movement of the actuators in the other direction relative to each other the movable member is moved toward the article to stabilize the same.
