Cargo bed rope tie down points

I've tried looking with various search terms and I'm probably using the wrong terminology but what do they call the bent round rod that is welded to our bed sides to affix the cargo cover ropes? I've tried various "tie down" or "tie-down" "bracket" to no avail. I'm having new aluminum bed sides made for the HEMTT and I want to find some that I can bolt or rivet on. Any ideas on where to find some? I know I can make them but why go to the effort if they are available somewhere.

Thanks!

They're called "Lashing Hooks".

Ours are bolted on both the M35A2s, but welded on the XM817.

You might try calling one of the bigger parts suppliers, or try to find a salvage yard nearby.
