Truck Bed Tie Down Options?
72
Looking for a fold down tie down insert for bed side or D ring type that would use one of the truck bed bolts to anchor. ideas appreciated |

I drilled about 1/2" hole into the side of the rear stake pocket, enough to slip in a tie down hook.
there is already a large hole in the bottom of the front stake hole, good to attach tiedown hooks. |

Bull Ring 4098 fits the rear two stake pocket locations in '67-'72.
I'm happy with mine. Only minor complaint is I can hear them rattle slightly when retracted when I have the sliding rear window open.

Re: Truck Bed Tie Down Options?
Did you try them in the centre and front holes as well. Listing on go to 88 model year on their website.

Re: Truck Bed Tie Down Options?
They don't fit these locations on '67-'72 (opening is the same, but there isn't enough room below the opening to install).

Re: Truck Bed Tie Down Options?
^^, those are what I have as a placeholder...did see a C10 with D hooks on a 2 bolt strap mounted on inside of bed, top, where rail slots are that also looked discrete but require drilling holes. Have not found Stainless ones, just zinc coated

Re: Truck Bed Tie Down Options?
Maybe not what you need but I replaced four bed bolts with "I" bolts to serve as tie down points. Just in the front of the wheel wells. Then I had a cargo net that held down the cooler and lawn chairs.
See pic. |

Re: Truck Bed Tie Down Options?
^^^, considered that also but using single bolt D rings so they would lay flat
Like your bed, mine is "done" so I am not hauling anything other than coolers, boxed merchandise so a single bolt held something would work just need to find stainless vs "metal" (zinc) type |

Re: Truck Bed Tie Down Options?
I posted the ones I used last year. Pictures are sideways but they work really well, I have had some serious load on them with no bed or anchor distortion. Not exactly a direct fit but not difficult to make work either.
