a pair of support brackets, each of said support brackets having an elongate portion being insertable into a stake pocket in the bed of the truck for securing said support brackets to the bed, each of said support brackets having a hooked portion curving laterally away from said elongate portion and curving downwardly from said elongate portion thereby facilitating the ramp to be suspended on said hooked portion for storing the ramp when said elongate portion is inserted into the stake pocket;
said elongate portion of each of said support brackets has a top end, a bottom end and an outer surface extending between said top end and said bottom end, said outer surface having a plurality of intersecting sides such that said elongate portion has a rectangular shape thereby facilitating said elongate portion to conform to the shape of the stake pocket such that said elongate portion is inhibited from rotating in the stake pocket;
said hooked portion of each of said support brackets has a first end and a second end, said hooked portion being elongated between said first end and said second end, said hooked portion having a first bend being located closer to said first end than said second end to define a first section of said hooked portion being oriented at an angle with a second section of said hooked portion, said first end being associated with said first section, said second end being associated with said second section; and
