Bed Strips..... Round Holes......HELP - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello everyone.

Removed the wood from the bed,along with the strips. Almost every hole is round. The strips themselves are in pretty good shape. The problem is that if I was to install new carriage bolts they will just spin.

Anyone have a solution? Is there an easily found bolt like a carriage bolt with an Allen key or torx drive? Any way to tighten the carriage bolt without the square hole under it?

Any help is appreciated.
