Looking for retractable tie downs.

I just got my C10 from my grandfather in January after sitting for 9 years. Id like to add some things to it to make the truck more functional for me and since I'm not the type to fly flags out of the posts of my bed like most of the teenagers I know, I would like to put in some tiedowns. Bully makes the ones I'm looking for but they don't list any for C10s. Only 1500, 2500, and 3500 models. Would this fit?

Re: Looking for retractable tie downs.

The C-10 of yesterday is now the 1500 of today. Just like that Ford thing; the F-100 became the F-150 and so on with Dodge and many other lines of trucks. The post hole in the bed is just that, a posthole.

Good luck on your truck.

Re: Looking for retractable tie downs.

Those look like a nice feature for our old trucks with amost no options to hook something to. The real problem for me is they only go back to model year 1999. They mention that you only need a phillips screw driver, so I would assume the pocket dimensions for a 67-72 would need to be the same or close to a 99 model. Does anyone know the the pocket dimensions for a 1999 truck?

On my way home from church today, I saw a 1999 2500 for sale so I decided to pull over and measure the post holes. They're the same width but they are a little longer when compared to mine. I just measured it with the markings on my Nalgene bottle since I didn't have anything else with me or else I would give you the specific dimensions.

Did you ever buy the Bull ring tie downs? I phoned them today and asked about tie downs for my 81 Chevy, the guy mentioned that I would have to buy some low profile ones that are listed for Dodge, part# 4066 but I don't want to buy and then they don't fit...
