While stripping down a 71 f250 camper special I noticed these tie downs.
The front ones bolted to the front of bed and angled out the side. Perfect bends to come around that part of bed.
The back ones where the lights go on the rear side of bed. once you remove the light housing and unplug the light from it, you can see the rear tie down mounted to bed with four bolts. Notice how the holes are drilled on the rear tie downs, like factory. The rear tie down is also contoured to angle out slightly to do what it's suppose to.
These just appeared to be factory so I'm asking here, if anyone has seeing these before?

 

Dealer installed, maybe, but not "factory."
I've never seen them before.

 

I've never seen them either. I doubt the dealer even installed those. I say they're aftermarket, or custom.

 

Thanks for replying, the bends are so spot on and the way they were mounted looked perfect, like they belonged. The green paint on one of the forward pieces is the same green paint that was under the white paint on the truck. So these were attached sometime back.

 

Geez those little side marker sheet metal screws would not do much to hold a big c/o camper down.
if ya hit a dip in city steer and get a recoil bounce it would pull those out pretty easy.

But maybe a non c/o light camper be ok.

I've checked for you Robert. Everywhere in the Fische I could think of. No Show.

 

Mounted under the lenses to me indicates it was intended as a lightweight mount... like for a tarpaulin - not a camper.

Regardless, it's a nice accessory.. with better forethought than the PO of my 71 who drilled the fricken bedsides to mount cheap-azz aluminum hooks... five on each side.

 

I just hook my straps under the bed rail. Best tie down point there is! It runs the whole length of the bed, and is strong!

 

Now come to thing of it those side marker mounting bracket look like the old wide aftermarket seat belt floor mounts that bolted to the floor. That my dad put in a Studebaker he once had back in the 60's

Ford has used the basic number 00064 for "bed hooks" forever. Like from the outside chrome accessory ones on the dents through today's trucks. I tried that and also nosed around. No findy. Got to admit, they were purpose manufactured by some one. Gotta be aftermarket though. Maybe someone manufactured them for Camper companies back in the day? 2X Hio and Orich. they wouldn't old much. And must have special shouldered screws to be able to tighten brackets but not break the plastic lamps.

 

I think the 4 perimeter holes did the heavy lifting and to 2 holes for the side markers were just through holes to hold the lens.
I think!

 

That's the way they were mounted. Remove light assembly then remove the four bolts holding the bracket.
