Camper Tie Down Recommendation for a 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500HD

Expert Reply:

A Stake pocket mount camper hold down is not available for the 2001 Chevy Silverado. Instead, you can use the Camper Hold Downs, # HSSF. The hold downs wrap around the truck bed rails and mount inside the bed. They do not fit in the stake pockets. These hold downs will work for any camper that is a correct fit for your vehicle.

To install, first place the protective tape under the rest plates and on the T-Bars. Next, thread the T-Bar into the nut at bottom of each Hold Down.

Then place the front two Hold Downs as forward as possible on rail of your truck body, making sure they are forward of the campers front eyebolts. Place the back two Holdowns on the rails of the truck slightly forward of or directly below the camper eyebolts. Adjust all the T-Bars until the Holdowns are square with the trucks rails. When properly aligned, tighten the lock nuts.

Next, put each locking clamp in place under the rails of the truck and square with the holdown. Install and tighten the included bolts to complete installation.
