Does anyone have any info on upgrading the "existing" tie downs in the corners of the bed?
Thanks!

 

Upgrading from what to what?? I have a 99 as you can see from my signature (you may want to fill one out so everyone will know what model f150 you have) I had the old "boat cleat" style, and put the newer "D" style on mine. My neighbor just brought home a 2001 XLT and I noticed they now come with the "D" style standard. The newer style cost me about $12.00 from the dealer.

99 F-150 XLT 4X4, SC, SB, AT, 5.4, Single CD
3.55LS, Tow pkg, Rhino Liner, Sportsman topper,
Westin black double step bars, Custom gold pinstripe, Bright Red/Gold,
Honeycomb grille painted to match truck, Gold front valance and rear bumper covers (both from Eddie Bauer
Expys)

 

I have the Hide-a-Hooks on mine, $30 a pair. Not as strong as the Bullrings but better looking.

------------------
1999 Lariat Super Cab, S.B. 5.4L, 3.55 LS
and every option but the leaky slider window.
Bright red w/ gold 2-tone, Leather Captain's Chairs
Mods: Duraliner bedliner, Bugflector II, Hide-a-hooks.
& a leeetle chrome tip on the exhaust.

 

Maybe Kerlinger will come back and tell us which hooks he is asking about!! The ones "in" the bed or the ones that a body can install "on top" of the bed rails-- we gave him an answer on both -- This place is great!!

Thanks for the help, i have the "boatstyle" in the bottom corners of the bed. I just ordered "D" style replacements for 2001 F-150, for $15.00.
Thanks again

 

The "D" style is still used like the boat style if you know how to use them. It is a marine knot.
Look different but work the same. I'll trade someone for the true boat style as they would do a better job.

 

JDF,
If you pay the shipping from me to you - you can have my "old style" Boat cleat style off of my 99 for FREE--- they are gathering dust here -- Guestimate shipping to be around $7.50 inc insurance -- Email me @ markmizzou@hotmail.com if you are want them!
