F3 stake pockets
I'm really proud of how these turned out. I still hate doing it with a passion, but my buddy Mark and I are getting better as time goes on.
Like everything else on the bed, the stake pocket bottoms were toast. I ended up buying 1/2T replacements and we bent them up a little to make em fit. Some hammer work, a little body filler, more paint and presto, new stake pockets. I was a little concerned about the open bottoms looking out of place but the fender in between will help and I ended up having the forward bolts on the bed hanging rails being under the pockets. Made it a lot easier to tighten them down.
