    Yep. Didn't find that before, so thanks. It does confirm the T nut size. Thanks again.

    And just so you know the zoro link (from that thread) was the cheapest I found those t-nuts. Didn't dig tooo deep but they beat all the normal places I know of

    You can also use uni-strut nuts. These are available at Home Depot and Lowes. They are T shaped and spring loaded-just pull the spring of the nut. Uni-strut is the stuff electricians use to mount equipment or pipe on the wall.

    I took the lazy way out and just ordered from Fastenal. More expensive, but nice coating, perfect fit - and done!

    Thanks for that. I just bought 5 from them and it was $ 13.69 shipped.

    They have free shipping until the 24th.

    I've been scratching my head for a year now to do this to my '07. Thanks. (I think they're called T-Slot nuts BTW).

    I bought the Amazon ones and they work great. Made a couple of tool mounts with them. They fit perfectly in the bed rails.

    I bought the t slots with the knobs for mounting hi lift,etc.
    The slots come in a 10 pack that is very reasonably priced.
    I'll just paint them with rustoleum every few years.
