Thank You everyone for a bunch of great ideas. I have the additional challenge of Pelican cases. These cases are 18" wide. I can fit two, laying flat, between my board and the tailgate.

The way I accomplished this was by using a 1" X 8" board. I used a 2" X 4" and the cut of section of the 1" X 8" as a front spacer. this keeps the divider snug in the slots and the across board as far from the tailgate as possible.

I added 4 "D" Rings and a pair of light weight screen door handles. With the addition of the missing tiedowns I now have 10 bed tiedowns. 4 between the tailgate and divider and 6 on the deep end.

By using a 1" X 8" instead of a 2" X 10" board I was able to maximize the space and minimize the weight. The entire contraption weights about 5 pounds. Ever the designated Naggigator (The Wife) can handle the install and removal. This with the Tonneau cover and " Super Lift Tail Gate Assist Device" makes the bed very useable for all.
