Our 2015 F350 has holes along the bed walls. What have people used to put tie downs in those holes. I tried to upload a picture but the extension doesn't seem to be correct.
Yeah I dunno if you're talking bed walls or bed rails; there are some miscellaneous holes smattered throughout the bed wall interior, primarily at structural supports or stake pockets.
One of the best things I ever did was replace the flakey corner tie-downs with custom ones I built with three holes per.
I use my industrial, walking foot sewing machine to fabricate these webbing loops. Their 1.5 inch heavy webbing that I double layered throughout length and triple layered at ends. I used a 10mm stitch length with size 138 polyester thread-super strong. They're looped into the eyelets behind plastic bed liner. When I attach something, I use webbing cam straps (home made of course) to secure load. I'm sure that there are some commercial systems that may be "better", but I find that with these there is no metal to scratch of rust, and their home made cheap. They are frozen in picture. I can show whole bed once sun comes up later.
Here's a pic of my home made webbing loops in daylight. With cam straps, I secure chainsaw, fuel, bar oil, whatever tight up to front of bed. Next time I'm out poaching wood I'll take a pic. They work good too for kayaks, lumber, you name it.
There are loops in the stake pockets already. Just pull the plastic cap and look down in there. I use them all the time with ratchet straps.
I also use chain on each side of my bed (front to back). I attach it to the factory tie downs with quick links. That gives me a tie down anywhere on the sides and at the front of the bed. It works great. Learned that trick from an old man.
We are looking for something that goes in that little hole on your picture, not on the bed. We are thinking rubber stoppers but no way to tighten them up.
