A pickup truck bed liner is provided with an inwardly extending column-shaped projection adjacent the rear end of each side wall of the bed liner for close fitting engagement with vertically extending posts adjacent the end of each truck bed side wall. The upper edge of the bed liner is adapted to be fitted beneath the truck bed rail and an integral projection is formed on an upper edge portion of each side wall adjacent the column-shaped projection for engagement with a flange of each truck bed rail to secure the bed walls against movement relative to the truck bed side walls and support posts.
