Thanks for the pro tips! And I hope to be hauling more.
The truck was pretty tight to the bed, by the axles, and by the screwed down wheel chocks. My reasoning for the straps was to take some of the spring motion out of the equation, as the load felt a little lively. Didn't cause a problem this time, but I'll take the advice of experience and not do that next time.
Here are some block pictures, numbers etc. I thought maybe the engine mount attachments might tell a story.
