The title kinda says it all. Just wondering if there is a plug available for the f1's. I want to keep as much water out of my stake pocket holes as possible.

I think LMC does. It's the kind that lets you to a rope to it I believe.

Thanks for the info, I have seen those but was leaning more toward something flat. I may have to make something.

I don't know how one would ever get one of those plugs in our angled bed sides? Square peg/angled hole? They're designed for a flat top stake pocket. They don't work all that great, either, imo, for doing anything more than holding a tarp in place.

I am actually thinking of using at least the rubber plugs to anchor a frame for a custom tonneau where the frame is fastened to the top of the plugs however the sides and rear of the edges of the cover itself would Velcro to the underside of the rolled bedsides and tailgate. AFAIK no one makes a tonneau for the 48-50 bed. I have a Truxedo cover on my Ranger that has me thinking. I am just in the thinking stage. Note that the frame is really just going to be used to support the cross tubes that prevent a belly in the cover such that the rubber plugs would not see any real side loads which I agree is where they have real limits. I have used those plugs a little on my Ranger
