Need help finding anchors.
I need to finf some bolt in anchors that I can bolt into the bed floor to strap loads with. I haul BC plywood and without it strapped you can easily place it on the road way. No success at the Zone, Advance, Lowes, or the hardware.
I use the ratchet straps with 5/16 hooks on the end, so I don't need large ones but strong ones.

Thanks guys, There is no trailer dealer close by, have not checked Evilbay yet. I started at Lowes, Walmart, then last night Advance Auto, Auto Zone, and the hardware all close together. I do plan on checking Harbor Freight today.
Buzz, I had not given any thought to U bolts. Probably 1"-1 1/4" inside is all that I would need. I want to keep it small, just need some in the floor that are lower than the ones on the side.

John, found them at local trailer outlet but they only had one particular type so I found a supplier online with more of a selection. Posting link to Amazon but found there are a number of online suppliers to choose from, the following pic's are just a few.

I found & bought a piece from Harbor Freight that resembles the lock loop on a hasp. It had a 2in ring in it that the guy at the store cut off for me.
I am going to start by screwing this to the bed as it. It is SS and I bought SS screws for it. Should the screws fail I will change to bolts and maybe put a plate under the bed.
Thanks for the suggestions.
