    How about TWark 24

    Like the box. I never came up with a system I loved in the bed. Always had dust, but at least was dry. Flatbed seems to be wet and dusty. Oh well. I can make a tiedown anywhere I want on the FB-I like that about it . Freeing-whatever I need I just make it happen.

    Saw an older Chevy Malibu with ditch lights, on the way to work.
    I thought it added a nice little touch.

    Our web press has been here 22yrs.
    I've been operating it maybe 5.
    I finally convinced the higher up to get some automatic inkers installed....
    So I can have more time to play on my phone! :rofl:

    They always filled it by hand out of 30# pails...I'm not doing that shit.. nobody should have to.

    Baaahhh!

    In the previous 17yrs they paid for 2 shoulder surgeries for guys working that position. I'm not interested in being the 3rd.
    I eliminated that job position and saved the company a minimum of 40k/yr.

    Quickest solution if you don't mind cutting into the mat.

    I was thinking maybe adding one of the d-rings to the middle bolts in the back, but that just gets in the way when putting stuff in. I also think it would hit when trying to slide out that beautiful creation of yours.

    With time and access to fab tools, maybe a longer bracket that attaches to the bolts where the OEM d-rings are? It would need a slot cut out in the middle of said bracket to be able to slide anchors out of the way when not needed. Then just place a binding post big enough to face up through the top of the D-ring and keep it attached or for quick removal. Could even cut it down to keep it from sticking out so much. Much flatter than a bolt head flipped, but would definitely rub on the bed liner eventually.
