Brophy TDSF
Black stake-pocket tie-downs
Four black powder-coated brackets for older, compatible full-size truck stake pockets.
See TDSF product detailsBrophy Truck Camper Tie-Downs: Stake-Pocket vs Clamp-On Guide
Truck camper tie-downs must match the pickup's bed construction as well as the camper's anchor-point position. Brophy makes two distinct kinds of bed-mounted attachment: permanently fitted stake-pocket brackets and removable super heavy-duty clamps for compatible truck bed rails. A separate turnbuckle and chain package connects those truck-side brackets to the camper.
Choose the mounting method first
Stake-pocket brackets: TDSF / TDBPFor suitable older full-size pickups with stake pockets. The steel brackets mount permanently using tabs and fasteners, with three removable spacer tabs to help fit the pocket. TDSF is black powder-coated; TDBP has a bright zinc finish.
Clamp-on hold-downs: HSSF / HSABFor compatible full-size beds with the required under-lip space. These use clamp hardware rather than drilling. HSSF has straight arms; HSAB has angled arms that change the camper-connection position.
Ford-specific clamps: HSWBBrophy identifies HSWB for 2019-and-newer Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks only. It uses the super heavy-duty clamp-on method and a front/back mounting orientation specified in the installation sheet.

Truck fitment and installation checks
- Check the model year before choosing stake-pocket mounts. Brophy explicitly excludes 2011 and newer pickups from the TDSF/TDBP stake-pocket series. Those sets are for campers up to 8 feet in overall length, including any cab-over section.
- Measure under the bed-rail lip for clamp-on designs. HSSF, HSAB and HSWB require at least 2 inches between the truck sidewall and the lip for the clamp hardware. Installation uses metal-to-metal attachment; drop-in or slide-in bed liners may need removal or local cut-outs. Spray-on liners are permitted by the manufacturer.
- Check the Ford and Ram exclusions. Brophy excludes 2019-and-newer Ford F-250/F-350 from HSSF and HSAB; HSWB is its model for those Ford pickups. The manufacturer also excludes 2019-and-newer Ram pickups with a toolbox bed from HSSF and HSAB.
- Inspect bed geometry and hardware length. Some trucks require longer Brophy T-bars (part 2007, not included with the listed clamp sets), including certain 2020-and-newer Chevrolet/GMC 2500/3500 models and the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. Confirm your actual truck and install requirements; matching one description does not ensure universal fit.
- Review the camper's and truck's instructions. Brophy warns that these tie-downs are not intended for off-road use. Position each bracket relative to the camper's own attachment points and do not overtighten turnbuckles.
Stake-pocket and clamp-on systems are not interchangeable. TDSF/TDBP require suitable older stake pockets and permanent fastening; HSSF/HSAB/HSWB depend on bed-rail shape, clearance and clamp hardware. No Brophy part number on this page is a blanket fitment guarantee for every truck in a model-year range.
How does the TDHP hardware kit fit in?
Brophy TDHP contains four 3/8-inch turnbuckles, four S-hooks and four chains. It connects compatible camper attachment points to the truck-side tie-downs, but does not include the mounting brackets. Brophy states a maximum capacity of 3,000 lb per complete hardware set, not per individual turnbuckle. Check the camper mounting instructions and confirm the connection length before selecting hardware.
Manufacturer installation instructions
Brophy publishes separate installation drawings for stake-pocket tie-downs and super heavy-duty clamp-on hold-downs. These PDFs explain the fastening method, clamp assembly, placement and safety restrictions. Follow the correct drawing for the exact model being installed.
