As long as the bed of your 2010 Ford F-150 has access to the under side of the bed rails and a minimum of 2 inches between the lip of the bed rail and the side wall (see photo), the Brophy Camper Tie-Downs, # HSAB, should fit. These are a universal-fit item that was designed to fit as many truck beds as possible. We have not had the chance to test these tie-downs on a 2010 Ford F-150 short bed yet, but we have not had any complaints on that generation of the F-150. If the truck has a bed liner that covers the underside of the bed rail, it will have to be cut.

If you have access to the stake pockets and the camper is 8 ft long or less, then you may be interested in the Stake Pocket Tie-Downs, # TDSF. I am not sure if the plastic rail you mention is covering the stake pockets or if the customer removed the stake pocket covers.

In addition to the tie-downs, you may be interested in the tie-down hardware kit, # TDHP, which includes 3/8 inch turn buckles, S-hooks and chains. The hardware has a maximum weight capacity of 3,000 lbs.
