Stake holes

Does anyone know if there are caps being made to cover the stake holes on the bed rails. I really don't want any tie down style plugs but that is all I am finding. I am getting a spray in bedliner that is up over the bed rails and I want to keep the water and junk out of the stake holes. Thanks.

[font color=red size=3]They are being made. Dustin's white '78 has them...

Did you look through the FTE Online store? I know that Dee Zee makes them. Check with anyone that sells pickup accessories, auto stores, body shops, dealerships. Or ask Dustin where he got his...

Just a thought.

I think he is talking of a different sort of thing, kind of like the pop up anchors that go in your stake pockets, but without the anchors. I have never seen any, but if you are going to be putting in the liner, why not just weld them up?

You are right. Just like the pop-up tie down hooks but without the hook part. I did not want to weld them up just in case I want to use them again. Any other ideas?

Why not get the hook type, screw them down,
and cut the HOOKS off flush ?.
