TDSF — Black powder-coated stake-pocket hold-down set
Four steel tie-downs with black powder-coated finish. Each unit sits in a pickup's stake pocket and uses spacer tabs and fasteners to secure the bracket.

The Brophy TDSF and TDBP are four-piece, stake-pocket-mounted truck camper tie-down sets for suitable older full-size pickup beds. TDSF has a black powder-coated finish; TDBP has a bright zinc-plated finish. Both use three removable spacer tabs on each mounting unit to help fit compatible stake-pocket openings.
Original Brophy stake-pocket installation drawing
Brophy's TDSF / TDBP illustrated installation instructions (PDF) show the stake-pocket orientation, removable spacer tabs, screw positions and anchor-tab bolt. These are permanently secured with drilled holes; simply inserting them into the stake pocket is not a completed installation.
The manufacturer's tie-down product comparison also lists the truck and camper limitations.

TDBP — Zinc-plated stake-pocket hold-down set
Four steel tie-downs in a bright zinc finish. Same stake-pocket mounting family as TDSF, but with a different finish and part number.

| Installation step | Brophy specification |
|---|---|
| Position stake-pocket bracket | Anchor tab faces towards centre of truck bed |
| Pocket fastening | Drill two 7/32-inch holes about 4 inches below the top and fasten with provided hex-washer screws |
| Anchor-tab hole | Drill an 11/32-inch hole and install the 5/16 × 1-inch hex-head bolt, washer and nut |
| Spacer adjustment | Remove only the spacer tabs necessary for the original stake-pocket opening |
What's included in the mounting hardware?
The illustrated factory bolt pack contains four 5/16 × 1-inch bolts, four 5/16-inch nuts, four 5/16-inch washers and eight 5/16 × 1¼-inch hex-washer screws. Some newer compatible bed rails may require longer sheet-metal screws as described in Brophy's instructions. The TDHP turnbuckles, chains and hooks are separate from the TDSF and TDBP hold-down sets.
Truck and camper limits
Brophy specifies these stake-pocket tie-downs for suitable older full-size pickups and campers up to 8 feet in overall length, including the cab-over section. The manufacturer states that they do not fit 2011-and-newer pickups or 1988-and-newer midsize Ford Rangers, and they are not for off-road use. Check the truck owner's manual, available stake-pocket geometry and camper anchor positions before fitting.
Stake-pocket versus no-drill clamp-on systems
For newer compatible truck beds without the required stake-pocket layout, compare the Brophy HSSF / HSAB / HSWB bed-rail hold-down guide. Those kits use under-rail clamps and do not require the drilling steps above, but have their own rail-clearance and model restrictions. The two mounting families are not directly interchangeable.
