    Anyone here mount any L Track to the floor of their truck bed between the ribs? My quick measurements show the spots to be about 1" across the bottom, but everything I've come across seems to be around 1.25".
    Anyone have any leads?
    Thanks.

    Yes. @Crom was one of the first to do this. you can look through his thread- he’s used it in several locations.

    I used my router and a wood bit. While it works, I would not recommend the method... I shot one of the tracks across the yard.

    You can do it at home though, as shown by mine it does work :)
    When I did it, I clamped the router to the table, then with heavy gloves I moved the track along the bit. I did it in my backyard away from my cars as I knew I would end up shooting a track.

    I got some L tracks from US Cargo. No modifications. They stay lower than ridges and fit perfectly in the troughs. Used a fat washer underneath the bed to spread the pressure.
