Installing Frame-Mount Camper Tie-Down On 1984 Chevrolet C/K Pickup Truck

Question:

Best application for my truck. I am installing a 1985 Lance camper it is 11 feet long about 2500lbs. I do not see a frame mount option only the clamp on bed style option.

We do not have a custom tie-down kit for your 1984 Chevrolet pickup but I may have a solution for you.

I called my contact at TorkLift and they told me that you can look under the front of yoru truck bed near the cab and see if you have a 4x4 inch space available, you can install part # TLR3500. You would need to drill through the 4x4 space on your frame to mount the tie-downs for your camper.

For the rear you can use the same tie-downs but you will need the same 4x4 inch space on each side of the trailer hitch to install the tie-downs. I have attached a photo that shows how the # TLR3500 is attached to the trailer hitch you can check out.
