New bed stakes

I always liked the look of the F100 with the bed stakes, so I used the summer to mount them on my truck. I really like it

They look real good, Rico! I have thought about doing that with my 54 but never have.

What kind of wood?

Those look great, Rico! I love the turned down ends. Makes it really look finished.

Hi Abe! It’s made of oak, steel-brushed and finished with clear yacht paint

The Ford logo on the two sides is a nice touch.

The racks look great on your flatbed. Now you need handles on the back board. Makes it easier to lift the board off .
