Ropes are way faster if you know the right knot. 1/4"-5/16" rod cut 4" long. Put 1" into vise from top, clamp tight, and pound over(rod) jaw. Weld to bed on underside of side sill. Chain links also work by cutting them to form a "U", weld them on bed underside, then bend them open a little. I made mine. 50 of them took 45 min. to cut and bend from 1/4" round stock using visegrip pliers and a 5/16" hole 1" in from the edge in platesteel for my bending jig. Weld them every 6"-8" along the side rail.
