Frame-mounted truck-camper tie-downs are selected for a specific truck frame—not merely by the bed length. Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra HD trucks have changed frames and rear-hitch arrangements across generations, so the front and rear kits must be chosen separately. This guide compares four TorkLift part numbers sold by NewRVParts for selected 8-foot-bed trucks.

What does a complete camper tie-down system require?

Front attachment pairTorkLift C2204 is an older-application front frame-mounted kit; C2226 is a different front kit for selected 2020–2026 GM HD trucks with an 8-foot bed. Each provides two front attachment points with its specific frame brackets and removable inserts.
Rear attachment pairC3206 serves select older heavy-duty GM frames, while C3222 is designed for select 2020–2026 3500 HD dual-rear-wheel trucks with an 8-foot bed. Rear brackets depend on the rear frame and hitch configuration. They are not universal replacements for each other.

A complete four-corner truck-camper installation normally needs one correctly matched front pair, one correctly matched rear pair and four suitable spring-loaded turnbuckles. The four components listed here are individual front or rear pairs—not complete four-point camper kits.

Compare the Chevy/GMC 8-foot-bed TorkLift parts

Exact MPN Position Manufacturer application family Important qualification
C2204 Front Selected older GM HD 8-ft-bed trucks (2001–2010 applications) Chevrolet/GMC 2500/3500; frame and equipment must match
C3206 Rear Selected 1999–2007 2500 and 2001–2007 3500 8-ft-bed trucks Older 8-inch-frame GM heavy-duty applications; receiver configuration matters
C2226 Front Select 2020–2026 GM 2500/3500 HD trucks with 8-ft bed Current-generation front fit varies with exact truck configuration
C3222 Rear Select 2020–2026 GM 3500 HD DRW trucks with 8-ft bed Dual rear wheel (DRW) configuration specifically; not a generic SRW rear kit
Year ranges are only a starting point. TorkLift identifies C2204 and C3206 with select older trucks, and C2226 and C3222 with later-generation applications. Cab, bed length, frame size, single- versus dual-rear-wheel configuration, factory or aftermarket hitch, and running boards may change the correct selection. Use the current TorkLift vehicle-specific Fit Finder before ordering either pair.

Older HD applications: C2204 front and C3206 rear

On qualifying older Chevrolet/GMC HD trucks with 8-foot beds, C2204 is a front tie-down pair while C3206 is a rear tie-down pair. The manufacturer's application information spans different model years for the front and rear pieces. They may belong to the same four-corner setup only after confirming both numbers against the same exact truck. C3206 is specifically associated with older GM HD frame applications; it is not the rear kit for every 8-foot-bed Silverado or Sierra.

2020–2026 HD applications: C2226 and C3222

C2226 is listed as a front pair for selected 2500 and 3500 HD 8-foot-bed trucks in this generation. C3222 is a rear pair listed for selected 3500 HD dual-rear-wheel configurations with 8-foot beds. It should not be chosen for a single-rear-wheel 2500 or 3500 based only on the matching model year. Confirm the appropriate rear kit and existing hitch using the manufacturer's application information.

What to verify before buying

  1. Record the exact truck. Note Chevrolet/GMC, model year, 2500 versus 3500, classic or newer body, cab type, drivetrain, bed length and SRW or DRW axle layout.
  2. Inspect the frame and receiver. Manufacturer applications can change with frame dimensions, factory or aftermarket towing hitch and side plates. Do not rely on a generic year/bed-size listing alone.
  3. Confirm mounting position. A front pair attaches near the cab/bed junction; a rear pair attaches farther back. Each uses a different vehicle-specific bracket arrangement.
  4. Check equipment interference. Running boards extending along the bed, exhaust, fuel tanks, suspension accessories and hitch components may affect mounting or require a different part number.
  5. Plan the entire retention system. Match both tie-down pairs and four specified spring-loaded turnbuckles to the camper's anchor points, checking the manufacturer's installation procedure.
  6. Check truck and camper ratings. Tie-downs help retain a properly sized camper; they do not increase the truck's GVWR, GAWR or payload rating. Follow the vehicle and camper manufacturers' weight limitations.

Each card links to a matching NewRVParts listing. One product's catalog photograph has been withheld here because its file identification did not clearly match the exact MPN; use the linked product details and manufacturer documentation to identify it.
