Forget the website, most supermarket auto parts stores, (Murray's, Kragen, Advance etc), have these. Got mine at Advance and have seen them at Murray's. Aside to Toolaremia.

They DO fit Dodge, Ford (not SporTrak), GM, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota, AllStar, Durakon, Homestead, Penda, and Custom brands.

I would be all over that if my truck had a plastic liner like rather than a rolled-in liner. That is an awesome idea.

That would help me see if they will fit my bedliner. I tried to find them on the website, but it's a Flash-laden mess. I couldn't find them.

True, the fit differs with brands of bedliner, (they were almost discontinued for that very reason.), these still work way better than cargo bars.

The only drawback is that the spacing of the ribs in the bedliner prevents them from perfectly fitting milk crates. They are 100% more effective than cargo bars -- I've never been able to get one tight enough to do anything. Even better, the heavier the item, the harder the bedbugs will grip, since your cargo sits ON the bedbug, pressing it harder against the bedliner. Now if someone could develop a similar cleat that locks into the bedliner to anchor a tie-down strap, I'd be in heaven! I have four sets of these, and I LOVE them.
