For a 2002 GMC Sierra 3500 Dually 6-1/2 Foot Bed without board or step underneath truck bed and with a factory installed hitch I recommend the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Front # TLC2205 and the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Rear # TLC3205.

If you have a 2002 GMC Sierra 3500 Dually 8 Foot Bed without board or step underneath truck bed and with a factory installed hitch I recommend the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Front # TLC2204 and the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Rear # TLC3206

Both of these sets of tie-downs are custom fits for their respective bed sizes. The inserts slide into the frame-mounted brackets for use and easily remove for a clean, unobtrusive look when not in use. The frame-mounted design ensures excellent handling because securing the camper to truck's base instead of its bed better distributes weight to keep the setup from being too top-heavy.

For turnbuckles I recommend the TorkLift AnchorGuard Derringer Turnbuckles for Truck Camper Tie-Downs - Stainless Steel - Qty 4 # TLS9020. These stainless steel turnbuckles have built-in levers for quick, simple tightening, making it fast and easy to secure your camper to your truck bed.

I'm assuming your 2024 F-250 has the 6-3/4' bed. If that is correct, the right tie-downs are in fact the #TLF3008 and #TL77CR. TorkLift has accounted for the bed access steps on the 2024 model and confirmed these will fit your truck.
