A new hold-down or retention device comprises a pair of vertical standards bolted or otherwise attached to the cargo bed of a pick-up truck. Preferably, the standards are located near to the cab end of the cargo bed but spaced therefrom. A cross-member is adjustably attached to the standards and extends therebetween. By placing one end of a long object such as a ladder or scaffold plank under the cross-member and adjusting the cross-member down to retain the object to the bed, the object is easily tightly retained to the truck cargo bed even when the object is three or more times the length of the cargo bed.
