Maybe there is a screw back there and those hide the hole .

My '87 does not have that.
I would suggest that it is not factory. K

Re: Rubber nubbins in bed
I am tempted to pull one off to see what's behind it , hopefully its not a self destruction device type thing , its strange that there is one on the other side in the same location .

Re: Rubber nubbins in bed
Perhaps the truck received aftermarket rust protection? That was real popular for years. Company would drill holes and spray in rust preventer and then fill the holes with rubber plugs. Ziebart was / is one such major company that still does this.

That was on camper special trucks years back to access a wire for the lights on the camper I believe. Take the tail light out and pass a wire through for tail and brake lights on a slide in camper.
