Bed Tow Hooks?

I just recently took apart the bed on my truck, got rid of the tonneau cover and bed mat which showed like it had been collecting lots of stuff under it, cleaned it, sanded it down and applied a few coats of herculiner....looks much better now.

I bought a toolbox and a cover to go with it....now I was wondering if there was any good options to change up the metal tow hooks I had screwed into my bed from factory or if I should just use that?


Here are two pictures. I will have some more tomorrow or after I do the last round of finishing touches

i used black nylon boat cleats through-bolted with a backing plate on all 4 corners of the bed... has the hole in the middle for strap hooks and also easier to tie down with rope than using a hook or loop

If you want to get rid of them, let me know, those are what I'm looking for. I'm getting sick of my 2000's crap cleet with 2 small holes on a flat bar basically. I like the newer style with a actual loop so you can strap something down good without the hooks sliding off.
