Who knows what this is?

I was a bit surprised to discover there are no tie-downs in the rear of the bed which are welded to the frame. There are two in the front of the bed, just behind the cab...but, these will be useless to me once my cap is installed. I frequently need to secure a generator that sits on the tailgate. I'm reasonably creative and resourceful, so I know I'll come up with something. Even the tailgate latch hooks look strong enough to use as tie-down points.

But, can anyone tell me what these are? They're located just inside the tailgate and are securely bolted to the truck frame. They appear to be receivers for some kind of brace or who knows what...

 

Looks to be bed extender mounts...

 

What he said for sure, Bed extender brackets. Here's a pic of my AMP bed extender brackets. Looks pretty similar.

What they said. And clearly someone left the rear tie-down loops off when they installed the bed extender mounts.

 

People are always looking for those.
