Sounds like you are talking about using a single E-Track slot like part # SLSB to instal the Erickson E-Track Tie Down Ring # 59131 in a tailgate application like the picture we recieved from a customer who did the same. There isn't an exact recommended way to accompolish this. It looks like the picture you referenced has a tailgate that has an internal panel that can be removed so that the customer could use nuts and bolts to hold the slot to the side of the tailgate. We don't have exactly what you'd need to buy but you'd be best off seeing what type of access you have to the tailgate where you want to install the slot and go with what would work the best.
