Abstract
Disclosed are wall stake structures adaptable for removable insertion into flat bed trailer and truck vehicles provided with a plurality of depending pockets whereby drayage vehicle sidewall paneling is supported by intervening upright wall stakes. The wall stake comprises: an upright non-metallic semi-rigid post having a header and a foot insertable into a flat bed vehicle pocket; a plurality of tubular spacers each extending transversely forwardly of the post; and an upright guide-plate abutting the respective spacers and ultimately attached to the post, the guide-plate being transversely more resilient than is the post and also being liberally wider laterally to provide two transversely resilient channels for supporting sidewall paneling. The spacers preferably comprise a plurality of vertically separated distinct tubular bushings which are removably attached to the post and guide-plate thereby facilitating manipulation of the paneling and permitting use of different thickness paneling. At the upper end of the wall stake post is provision for a secure and reliable seat to permit engagement with a transversely extending topbow canopy support.
