A method for securing cargo boxes upon the bed of a pickup truck includes the steps of securing cargo rings to a structural portion of each inner side wall of the pickup truck; determining the distance separating adjacent cargo rings on each inner side wall; providing at least two strap members each having a longitudinal dimension greater than the distance separating cargo rings on a respective inner side wall, each of the two strap members having first and second portions, each portion having a hook end with a connecting hook secured thereto, the first portion having a cam buckle end integrally secured to a cam buckle, the second portion having a cam buckle end slidably secured to the cam buckle, resulting in the hook ends of each strap member being detachably secured to a respective cargo ring; whereby, cross straps detachably secured to strap rings secured to the strap members ultimately secure cargo boxes upon the bed of the pickup truck, and a tensile force vector imparted upon each strap member and extending parallel to the inner side walls of the pickup trick is reduced, thereby reducing the force urging together the cargo rings on each respective side wall of the pickup truck.
