What are these??

While installing my rear bumper, I came across these blocks and bolts that seem to mount to the frame to the bed from underneath, does anyone know what they're called or where I can find new ones? I had to grind them off, I asked nicely and they refused to turn haha. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

 

That would appear to be what's left of a bed mounting bolt and the anti crush tube for reinforcing the frame there and prevent crushing of the frame when torquing the bed bolt.

If your frame is that rust though....

 

Is that a piece of channel holding up the bed in the last pic?


None of that looks factory, there is no tube between top and bottom of frame as the bed just bolts to the top of the frame rail.

 

The frame actually appears to be in good shape, I scrubbed some of the surface rust off and it was still whole. I will def need to re-paint it though. Those cans were awful though.
Do you know where I can find new ones or am I gonna have to fabricate them? I have searched high and low and cannot find them.

 

Check junk yards or take the old one to a fab shop and have them replicate them. Then, get new bed bolts.
Don't forget that you bed is no longer attached to the frame at that spot.....

Edit: if it is a standard size like 2x2, you can stop by a local metal supplier and get some the same size and shape. Then drill the required holes, and prep/paint them.

 

Thanks, I'll do that.
