Stake Pocket ?'s

Stake Pocket ?'s
I have a 2000 flareside, and from what I understand, there are no stake pockets. I was wondering what some of you have done to make tiedown places on the bed. I have a plastic bed cap on the top I can use but I don't think it's sturdy enough to secure a load. Any ideas or help would to make something close to a stake pocket type tiedown would be appreciated.
(I can't pull the cap off to look at it in person right now cuz it's cold and snowing... and I'm a wimp )

Alright thanks. Hearing everyone else gives me more confidence in their abbilities. I haven't used them much but I think I will definitely use them more often. When we go to our land, I always end up with the wierd stuff that won't fit in the mini-van, and it can be "interesting" trying to find a good way to secure stuff. In a couple weeks I have to take a McDonalds style picnic bench out there (Why?????). Well, I do as I am told... So, thanks to everyone for the help, I really appreciate it! :)
