Default Tie downs Ford CMP's?

Hi James,

I have never seen those tie down loops before but you may have inadvertently answered a question I've had for a long time about some Ford CMP trucks.

I have noticed over the years some, but not all, Ford CMP trucks have 4 holes drilled in the rear of the floor frame channel, two at the sides and two at the back. See attached photo of one at the side. Holes are 7/16" diameter and always seem to be in the same locations which makes me think they were factory made and not a bush modification.

I am now thinking maybe they were for the same tie downs as shown in your post. Can anyone confirm what was the purpose of those holes?

Cheers,
