Default Box Holes

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
Just bought a 2008 F-150 super crew with 6.5' box,
and can't figure out what the threaded holes on the inside of the box are for??

Thanks

If they are on the sides they are for tie downs.

There should be additional threaded holes for a bed extender by the tailgate.

Default Box holes

Thanks guy's, sorry for not being more specific! these holes appear to be threaded and are about half way up the sides of the box in sets of two.

My research leads me to believe these are mounting holes for the CMS, "Cargo Management System" available as a Ford accessory?

Thanks for the help, just the same!

Lots of people have done it with the 6.5' bed. A lot of the newer 5th wheels are half ton towable and not much pin weight. Lots of pics in the towing thread.
