What are the holes in the bed walls for?

Does anyone know what accessories or missing parts use the various holes in the bed sides?

Will take pictures once it’s light enough again. I am referring to the square and oval ones. All my threaded ones have tie downs already.

im thinking they are for accessories of some sort

i know what your talking about. i think those are used in the manufacturing process. there is a vendor on here that sells a 12V outlet you can install into the upper square hole on the drivers side though. its a nice product.

These are the typical holes I am referring to, they are obviously there for a reason, the square ones in particular

Hi Pete,

I cannot say for sure as I have never seen the plant welding up of the pick up box, but likely these are fixturing holes for various operations in the process of stamping and welding the p/u box together. JMO

i got it. good design, good construction, easy install, works great. those 4 big round holes would be perfect for lights if wolf haus would be kind enough to make some i'd be in for a set

I put a couple extra tie down points in the bed on mine.
