The TC tiedowns seem to be working too, no slack chain from what I can see. Deosn't appear that the TC slipped backward on bed either. But one thing does concern me; the forward tie down appears to be vertcle to the truck bed and aft one is at a slant in the proper direction.

Just wondering!
Still very interesting...I am going to have a look at my frame...and you Ford guys better have a good look, just saying! :>) Be safe.
