    I saw a thread where someone had moved the bed track from the cab end and attached it to their toolbox so they could use it with their toolbox on their truck.. I would like to attach bed track to my toolbox without having to take the one off my bed to use. Is there anywhere to buy replacement bed track? I take my toolbox on and off my truck and would like to have the bed track available for use whether I had my toolbox on my truck or not. I am always using it for bikes and for tie down points. Any suggestions would be great.

    I think Home Depot and Lowe's carry the proper size Unistrut rail.

    Unistrut might work well, good idea. I will check lowes this evening.

    Went with the unistrut idea - I picked up a piece of unistrut at lowes hardware. It works nicely for the Rocky Mount bike mounts but the toyota bed cleats do not work well with unistrut. They pop out no matter how tight you make them because of the piece that slides in the track is not large enough to grip behind the edge of the unistrut.
