Bed tie downs

[YeOldeTruck]

Does anyone know what these bed tie downs are called and where they can be purchased? Also, any idea how much they can be loaded up?

Is that on your truck and you need to replace or add more, or you just happened to see them someplace and want them?

If it is only held with simple sheet metal screws, I'd guess you can't put much more tension on them than tying off a tarp.

It’s on my truck and I’ve seen them on others too so I figured it was a stock part. Some of them are a little beat up so was thinking about replacing them with new ones. I was surprised I couldn’t find them via Google.

Thank you! I guess that means they aren’t stock.

I bought 4 or 6 of those several years ago at Walmart. I never used them and I have no idea where they walked off to.

If installed inside the bed, they are basically useless for anything but grocery bags. Anything hooked to them would be a straight pull on the mounting screws. On the outside of the bed though, they are much stronger since it's side loading the mounting screws.

I IMAGINE the loop is capable of 1,200 pounds but thats on you to mount them securely. If you are moutning them to the bed... Id personally maybe run some thick steel tube or something up behind the bedside from the frame and mount to it with bolts. That way its not bending the bed every which way or at least reinforce the bed in that spot. And its capable of much more weight. Could be done inside the bed too, perhaps along the stake holes for looks. Maybe on the floor so its a straigt shot off the frame and its not bending on the bed, rather the floor. Obviously will need reinforcement on the floor!
