    Made 4 of these brackets with the 90 degree angled aluminum. Each are 5 inches long with 4 holes drilled in them.
    IMG_0409.jpg

    Added some j hooks for tie down points on the rails after cutting them to length.
    IMG_0414.jpg

    Inserted a couple carriage bolts and mounted the brackets.
    IMG_0412.jpg IMG_0413.jpg


    Mounted to the trucks bed tracks.
    IMG_0419.jpg

    And finally added caps to the end of the framing rails.
    IMG_0415.jpg

    I basically did that 4 times on all the ends of the rails and here's the finished product
