I put two eye hooks in my tool box and they work awesome as a spot for tie downs.

I've got hooks in the sides near the tailgate, and near the front. The ones by the tailgate are on both sides of the bed towards the floor, and holes are cut into the bedliner for access. The ones up front are on the floor, you gotta take out 2 little rubber plugs to get to them.

It is just a small flat loop, kind of looks like a table top..Should be easy to make or cheap to reorder from a dealer...operative word...should...

yeah you should just be able to make some pretty easy. That's weird that you don't have them though.
