Abstract
This invention is directed to a tie-down device for use with small trucks such as pickup trucks having sides. The sides comprise an exterior wall and an interior wall. There is positioned between the exterior wall and the interior wall an elongated member such as a rod or a tube. There is positioned on the elongated member a clamp having an eye bolt. A cargo box or cargo may be positioned on the bed of the pickup truck. A stretchable elastic tie-down device having a hook on each end may be stretched over the cargo box and attached to the eye bolt on one side of the pickup truck and to an eye bolt on the other side of the pickup truck to hold the cargo box in position.
