“Blocking Board” Keeps Pickup Bed Organized

“Blocking Board” Keeps Pickup Bed Organized PICKUPS Accessories Kenny Ranta of Excelsior Springs Mo recently sent FARM SHOW photos of a simple idea he uses to keep his pickup bed neat and organized “I drive a 2002 Ford pickup that has a plastic liner in the bed with built-in side pockets ” says Ranta “The pockets were designed for use with a 2 by 6 board to keep big objects from moving forward and backward However there’s nothing to keep small items like 5-gal buckets and gas cans from sliding sideways “So one night this idea came to me I cut a slot into one end of a short 2 by 10 so I can hook it over the 2 by 6 to form a corner where small items are stored As the 2 by 10 is slid against the items it gets ‘pinched’ and can’t move  I also cut a round hole in the opposite end of the board that makes it easy to grip the board with gloves ”  Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Kenny Ranta 1711 Wornall Rd Excelsior Springs Mo 64024 ph 816 536-6320; kiranta1@yahoo com
