Rail Nut inserts?!

Where can I find some Steel/stainless/inconel Rail nut inserts for the bed rail of my 2017 taco. Working on some inconel slip eye hooks for the rim of the box and would like to incorporate them along the rail for tying loads with rope.

 

Amazon, Grainger, eBay

 

I got mine at fastenal but grainger would have them as well.

 

Inconel?! Balllllin! U talking about the bed rails that the bed cleats slide on? Search my recent posts, I did a diy on quick fists. Had a link to some black oxide coated Tnut's that work well for the rails. Not stainless but they might provide insight to sizing.

 

Yup, the ones that slide on. I was contemplating drilling the top of the bed through the plastic and truck body to fasten a d clamp that the eye hooks can swivel on but still weighing options based on the design.

 

Naw, don't do that. Just get some T-nuts.

 

Found these at fastenal on some threads here:

Same day delivery FTW

 

Out of pure material geek curiosity, why inconel? They would be like $100 each.

Does anyone make drop in T-nuts to fit our bed rails? I have bed cleats and shovel mount but have to remove all of that each time I mount my RTT bed bars. A drop in T-nut would save so much time.

Something like this.

 

Any home depot,lowes,hardware store,all that rail is is powder coated uni strut,just ask for strut threaded inserts.

 

These are not exactly what you are looking for but close. note that these are 1/2-13 not 3/8-16 like the ones previously posted in this thread.

That's not true at all.
