T-slot nuts or alternatives?

Do hardware stores sell t-slot nuts or something I could use as an alternative for the bed rails?

Thanks!

 

Amazon has em

 

I know... I just had an idea for a project I wanted to do today, and I WANT THEM NOW! lol

 

Look at this on eBay

You could probably just find a regular nut that fits in the rail by trial-and-error. A couple dollars at home depot, tops.

 

I’ve been using strut channel spring nuts from Home Depot for light applications like shovel brackets. Doesn’t feel as secure as the Amazon nuts. I don’t quite trust the spring nuts for my bed rack.

Hondo Garage makes a drop in nut that doesn’t require sliding in from the ends. Best nut IMO. https://shop-hondogarage.com/collec...ms/products/toyota-utility-track-t-nut-4-pack

 

I would use something temporarily today and order the stainless steel ones from Amazon.

 

Be careful when you order them off Amazon. The last set of t-nuts I got were threaded terribly. Totally useless.

 

That's exactly what I'm looking for! I don't plan on mounting anything heavy at all on these, so those should work.

 

Amazon is good. Be careful of ebay, one seller sent me a very small size. I may have missed the size in the description tho.

Im like “dammit, i and my truck require large nuts!” Lol
