      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1

     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
and notes should be read in conjunction with the annual
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.  Results of
operations for interim periods should not be considered as
indicative of results to be expected for a full year.
     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as
of September 30, 1995, and the results of operations and cash
flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1995 and 1994.

Note 2

     The Company is contingently liable under the terms of
agreements covering certain of its customers' financing
arrangements.  The agreements provide for the repurchase of
products sold to customers in the event of default by the
customer to the financing company.  The contingent liability
under these agreements was approximately $6.2 million at
September 30, 1995.

Note 3

     The provision for income taxes reflects effective tax rates
of 39% and 36% for the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1995, respectively.  The 1994 effective tax rates were 37%
and 39% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994,
respectively.  The 1995 tax rates were higher than the statutory
federal income tax rate of 35% due to provision for state income
taxes.  The year-to-date rate was lower than the quarterly rate
due to the settlement of an income tax dispute in the second
quarter.

     Net sales in the pickup truck accessories segment decreased
$1,103,000 or 5% in the third quarter 1995 compared to the
corresponding period in 1994.  Total unit volume was 2% below the
third quarter of 1994.  Unit volume through domestic aftermarket
channels was 1% below the third quarter of 1994.  Without the
addition of Benton Plastics in 1994, domestic aftermarket unit
volume was down 17% in the quarter.  An aggressive pricing
strategy was implemented in the third quarter of 1995 with the
objective of capturing additional domestic market share. 
International unit volume was strong except in Mexico, where
volume was below the 1994 third quarter due to a continuing weak
economy.  Average net prices were down in most channels from
the third quarter 1994 due to increased OE programs directed to
the aftermarket.
     For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, net sales in
the pickup truck accessories segment  increased  $8,945,000 or
16%,  with unit volume up 26%, compared to the same period in
1994.  Net sales and unit volumes would have both decreased 10%
without the volume from Benton Plastics.  International unit
volume was 56% above 1994 levels in the nine month period ended
September 30, 1995.  Average prices were down in most channels
due to continuing price pressures in the industry.

     Net sales in the vehicle transportation segment increased by
$5,006,000 or 28% in the third quarter and by $15,179,000 or 30%
for the first nine months of 1995 compared to the respective
periods in 1994.  Unit volume of rollback car carriers was up 17%
in the quarter and 25% year-to-date.  Wheel lift unit sales were
below comparative periods for last year due to the withdrawal of
a previously offered wheelgrid feature.  Net sales increased at a
rate higher than unit volume in both the quarter and year-to-date
due to higher net selling prices and a larger percentage of truck
chassis sales.
     For the third quarter of 1995, the consolidated gross margin
percentage was 19% compared to 29% for the same period last year. 
The gross margin was 24% for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 versus 30% for the nine months ended September 30, 1994. The
pickup truck accessories segment margins were fourteen percentage
points lower in the quarter and eight percentage points lower in
the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the
same periods in 1994.  The pickup truck accessories margins were
lower in the third quarter and for the nine month period due to
lower average selling prices, increased cost of raw materials, a
change to prepaid customer freight, higher spending for process
and product engineering, lower utilization of plant capacity, and
higher sales from Benton at lower margins.   
     The market price of HDPE (high density polyethylene), the
raw material from which the Company's bedliners are manufactured,
has been decreasing in recent months.  While the current
direction of resin costs appears to be favorable, there can be no
assurance that the industry will not experience future cost
increases, or that such cost increases will not adversely effect
the Company.  
     The vehicle transportation segment experienced lower margins
in the quarter due to significantly increased sales of lower
margin truck chassis as well as reduced margins on sales of
rollback car carriers due to product mix.  The vehicle transportation
segment experienced lower margins in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 primarily due to increased sales of lower
margin truck chassis.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$1,102,000 or 20% in the third quarter and $3,328,000 or 20%
year-to-date compared to the same periods in 1994.  As a percent
of net sales, spending for the third quarter was 1% higher than
1994 and even with 1994 on a year-to-date basis.  In the quarter,
spending was $655,000 higher in the vehicle transportation
segment for legal costs, the write-down of a patent license
agreement and increased commissions on higher sales.  Spending
was also $447,000 higher in the quarter in the pickup truck
accessories segment to improve customer service in the
company-owned distribution centers, increased advertising, and
expenditures to upgrade information systems.  Year-to-date,
spending was $2,035,000 higher in the pickup truck accessories
segment primarily due to the inclusion of Benton and ZZ Wheelz,
which were acquired in the third quarter of 1994.  In addition,
there was higher spending to improve the operations of the
company-owned distribution centers.  Year-to-date spending was
$1,293,000 higher in the vehicle transportation segment due to
increased legal costs resulting from a patent dispute, ongoing
product liability litigation, the write-down of a patent, and
costs for new product development.
     For the third quarter of 1995, interest income was $181,000
compared to $144,000 for the third quarter  of 1994.  For the
nine months ended September 30, 1995, interest income was 
$584,000 compared to $475,000 for the same period in 1994,
reflecting higher cash balances.  Interest expense was $115,000
in the third quarter 1995 compared to $70,000 in the same period
in 1994.  Year-to-date, interest expense was $308,000 compared to
$118,000 in the first nine months of 1994, reflecting new debt
acquired in late 1994.
     Net other expense for the third quarter was $3,000 compared
to $60,000 in the third quarter of 1994.  Year-to-date net other
expense was $373,000 in 1995 compared to $41,000 in 1994.
Year-to-date 1995 reflects the impact of the devaluation of the
Mexican pesos and subsequent translation losses.
     The provision for income taxes reflected effective tax rates
of 39% and 36% for the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1995, respectively, compared to 37% and 39% for the same
periods in 1994.  The effective rates were higher than the
statutory federal income tax rate of 35% due to the provision for
state income taxes.  Additionally, the rate for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 includes the settlement of an income tax
dispute in the second quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     Year-to-date September 1995, cash provided by operating
activities totaled $6.7 million, $3.1 million below the first
nine months of 1994.  The Company has a $20 million unsecured
revolving credit agreement with Comerica Bank which expires June
30, 1997.  Letters of credit totaling $2,200,000 reduced the
available borrowing capacity to $17,800,000 at September 30,
1995.
