So earlier in the summer while working my last job, i put together a set of single sided ladder rack from some square tubing i picked up at local scrap yard for a few bucks.. i dont plan on carrying often, so wanted to come up with a set of plates that i can make to be easy to install and remove yet be secure and safe enough to hold up the racks.
without modifying the truck bed, using what is available in the bed, the only thing i have, which is part of the truck bed is 4 hook loops lower in the bed, then up top on the back end there is a opening i can use, no pictures at the moment, but can post once i get some..
Was looking to make some custom 1/4 plates that i can secure to the hook loops to hold the bottom of the rack, then some custom clamps to secure the middle portion of the rack to the top of the bed, but the plate for the hook loop is what is kinda getting me in a bind..
I have 2015 Silverado, and i was thinking a plate, with a slot cut out to fit around the hook loop and then some form of bolt or something that will grab onto the loop and allow me to tighten to secure..
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have ideas in my head on how to do it and now typing it out ive come up with another solution to give a try.. but if anyone else has already done something like this, it would be great to hear what you have to suggest.
thank you
