IN 67-72 Custom Forward Bed Cargo Tie Down Brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Old_Truck_Fan** · 11-19-2023, 12:04 PM

My modern truck has several bed cargo tie down points, but unfortunately our old trucks didn't come with standard provisions. I made these custom bed cargo tie down brackets for my 1968 truck and thought others might like them as well.

This is a custom front bed cargo tie down bracket that utilizes two of the existing bed fasteners as shown. There is no cutting or drilling required. Simply remove the nuts and washers on your existing bed fasteners (must be at least 7/8 of an inch long) and install these brackets. This location on the bed is made up of 3 layers of sheet metal thickness. The bracket itself is 3/16 inch thick steel with three 3/4 inch holes that is powder coated matte black. The bracket is a clean and simple logo-less design. Bolts are not included. The price is $59.00 (for two brackets) which includes shipping to the lower 48 states.

I have 8 sets in stock and ready to ship. Please respond to this thread to stake your claim and PM me to sort through payment and shipping details. If there is enough interest I'll procure another batch.

Thank you!

I would think so, but I don't know for sure. The distance between the two mounting holes is 5.5 inches. One hole is slotted to make up any minor offset. Let me know what you find out.

Someone needs these.

This is 29.50 each including shipping.

A cheap cooler from the Dollar store cost that much.

It cost almost $20 to ship anything now-a-days.
