My pockets are filled.....

Stake pockets that is.
Cut some patches to fill in the holes fired up the mig along the bedrails. Turned out not too bad......seems there was lots of welding....lots of grinding and then more welding.....then more grinding but it looks good now that it's done.
Also got rid of the ugly chains on the tail gate. I went to 2 sliding bolts and cables with attachments inside the box. When my wife finds her missing digital camera i will put the results in my gallery

Shaune -

I did my stake pockets too. And like I say, every weld looks perfect after it is ground flush!
