PUTCO Chrome Plated Push-Up Tie Downs - for Full-Size Truck w/Stake Pocket Mounts (Excl 2014+ GM)

I read a couple of reviews that had me worried. They indicated they were hard to install, did not fit etc. I found no such problem. The instructions could be better, but I found a how to video on line. They provide different size rubber blocks for holding device in place. Took me five minutes and they look fantastic. Very heavy duty and smooth operation! Going to buy four more . Installed on 2013 F450 Ford. See photo of 4 year update photo. They look like new. These are the very best you can buy!

These are my third attempt at getting tie downs that I could live with. My last 2 sets were fine until they started rusting out. These are plated with a special stainless steel to avoid that. They went in easily, have been very strong, looks great, and function well. The pop up and lock down feature sold me on these. They are legit! And for the money I would expect them to be. Avoid cheap plastic/metal tie downs and just get these. Wish I had before I spent all that money to 2 cheaper sets of tie downs over the last 2 years.

So, they did fit my 2013 Silverado 3500HD. They fit in all 6 holes. But they did require a little "shimming" with some strips of inner tube rubber to fit them snugly. It doesn't totally line up with the lines of the truck bed. The metal portions are well finished and fair fitment. (fitment it gets a 3 star)I really like how they look as they finish off the surface of the bed. Prevent "gunk" from getting into the stake pockets. Provide a fairly decent tie down point for whatever. (looks it gets a 5 star)Unfortunately, the rubber expansion "cubes" that you use to fix this into the stake pocket are not that great of an idea. I truly question the weight rating of the tie down. (operational it gets a 3 star)I'm still happy I bought this, and I love the idea behind it, but I still don't think it's optimally designed for the intended operation.

Awesome tie downs! Installation was kind if weird but the finished product is great!

Had to return mine, they DID NOT fit the 2018 GMC body style. The Sierra hole is too large

I really like the appearance and operation of these tie downs. However the installation method is not positive. The system works by tightening two screws that each pass through a large rubber block. The tightening process causes the rubber block to bow and flex thus putting pressure on the post box that is supposed to hold it in place. The process doesn't pull the unit down to the truck surface so there is some gap underneath. After installation any side or upward pressure may cause the hold downs to work out. I haven't had any actual cargo to tie down as yet but it is obvious that the mounting system is weak. I later found a similar unit at Cabelas that I believe has a more positive mounting method. Overall: very good in appearance and functional operation in locking down and popping up for use, but a very weak mounting system.

Fit like a glove on my 2017 Silverado

I purchased these back in 2012 and they still work great. The best tie down hocks I have ever had on truck. The only think I have done is replaced the rubber piece with a metal block to lock in place.
