trailer stake pocket d ring tie down

[2rowequiped]

I am looking for the formed stake pocket d ring mount that has the pin under the stake pocket, without the d ring. I need a flat plate to build custom mounts for a side tool box and a cradle for boring rods. I could buy the mount and cut the ring off but had rather start with a fresh flat plate. I have looked on line but have not found any available.

I've seen the drop in stake pocket D rings. Many trailer mfgs. sell them. But I too have never seen them the way you describe. I made my own out of 1/4" thick square tubing and flat plate then welded on the D-rings. You may have to do the same without the D-rings

I agree, for the cost of pre-made ones, that you'd still need to chop up, make your own. 1.5x3" box tube is avalible, and fits stake pockets nicely.

To convert a stake pocket for "D" ring use.

Well, that's obvious, but why?

Much better for chain, or strap hook use.

So good that all semi flat beds use them?

Most flat beds have the pre-mounted strap jacks. They rarely use chains.

However I have them on my PJ and it sure is easier to pull the chain through. Also going through the side rail chips the paint bad. Also the d-ring is nice and smooth, unlike the sharp edges on the side rail. Once you have a couple of sets you will know why folks have them. I bought mine with the trailer for $20 a set.

Stake Pocket D-Ring | TrucknTow.com These folks seem to have good prices and often have sales or free shipping. Special deals in their news letter too. I got my chains and ratchet binders from them (best price hands down). Excellent service and the actually answer emails and their phone. They also sell American made products. There is a chance they could order you the sets with out the rings or put you in touch with the folks that make them for them.
Good luck

Most of use do not use semi flat beds for moving our tractors.
