'56 Stake Pocket Tie Downs

I did some searching and could not find any stake pocket tie downs for a 56 bed.
Is there such a thing? Please post a link if you have ever seen them. Post a pic if you made your own. Thanks!

Something like these would be great.

I have some tie downs that I used in my 54 I bought from Carpenter, although you could probably get them anywhere. They are the kind that have a thick rubber bottom that fit into the stake pocket and then you turn the big eye hook which shortens them and pushes the rubber out to grip the inside of the stake pocket. I had to cut off part of the top metal piece and some of the rubber to make them fir in the front pockets however.

Not a fan of metal hooks. Better is the ones Abe,suggested. I use those also. You can remove them without any holes in your bed.

Sorry to boost an old thread, but I'm searching for these and can't find any. Were they called bed hooks? Tie downs? Did anything leave the factory with these type of hooks?

Hello
As far as I know they where called "tarp hooks" and was not a factory option but came from the 1940-50 aftermarket.

if you Google vintage truck bed tarp hooks or on eBay you gets hits from time to time

They turned out pretty good 😎👍

I found this old post while searching for the hooks for another person on FB. They seem fairly common, search for part #N220-533. I thought this could be helpful for future reference.
