Long time ago I saw eye bolts that were in a rubber block. The block went in the holes on the side rails on the bed of the truck. Tighten the bolts, and the block expaned and held solid in the hole. Made it easy to secure odd loads.
Anybody remeber or know of these?

Thanks,

Davey

 

Yea, can't you find them? Around here most parts houses have them as well as the Walmart. You may have to look there in both the sporting goods as well as the RV section. Most times I see them near the bungee stuff for trucks.

Pretty common thing. Ask for them at most "big box" stores that sell auto stuff and they should have them.

 

Do yourself a favor and put antisieze on the bolt threads prior to installing the tie-downs. I once had the fun job of getting all 4 out that the bolts had rusted into their respective threads. The rubber block would just spin, and not contract in the stake pocket. Hope this helps-

 

Thanks,
I go again

 

Other idea is call ahead and save yourself a trip/search.

 

Thanks everone, found them at Wally World. Not my favorite place to shop.
Did also get some qt's for Delo 400 to carry if needed. Also a calbrated funnnel with an oopen/close spout for adding fuel additive. Worth the trip.
