Looks Good!
Nice Job.
Now that is exactly what those rectangular holes were put there for.
Don't see many people put them to use tho.
I use my truck for hauling too, and have a ton of carriage bolts already that I bought at an estate sale a while back, might have to get busy myself.
It seems to look better on a flareside but it really increases options for what you haul and how to secure the load.
Nice racin' setup on the door too.

I grew up on a dairy farm, we used something similar but higher and in the front & back to haul cattle to & from. We had one that got excited & went over the front onto the top & hood.

66 F100 wood rail
If anyone can show me how to post photos, I'll load up a couple of a pretty descent wood rail/fence I built for my short-bed stright-side truck - this is my first forum post and I'm not find this site entiely userfriendly! All I can get the site to offer me is a URL link for photos - anyone know how to post pics? Meanwhile a quick question for you gents. Are those Ford hubcaps in your step-side photos 'innes' or 'outies?' I've gone through a major pain becasue my 66 has 'outie' wheels, and I found out the hard way that most older Ford caps won't fit. Yours appear to be 'outies' but I can't tell for sure. If they are 'outies' I believe I can buy repros of that style which I like the looks of. My wheel 'nubs' are 10 1/8 inch across.

Bring the photo out of thumbnail right click on it use copy url, then click the little yellow box insert image and past it. It should appear in the text box.

Nice truck! By chance do you know if the hubcaps on your truck are 'outies' or 'innes' in how the cap mounts? Apparently in 66 they swithched - older hubcaps slip into 'nubs' inside the big ridge in the wheel, as opposed to slipping over nubs on the outside. I'm having a tough time finding 'outie' caps that have the old look of the 'innes' whcih Ford made for many years before 66. I can buy repro ones whcih look like yours - will order some if they are outies. I can't tell from catalog photos and calling them up didn't solve the riddle either!
