Yeah, I always see them in LMC. I think the catalog even says they are made from the original tooling.

Here's a few questions for you guys that have them. Are they actually sturdy enough to make them handy for tying things down? Do they just tend to get in the way?

I've been trying to decide whether track down a set. My truck was originally equipped with them, but since it appears to have spent most of its life wearing a topper, the rails are long gone.

I am selling a set off of my 1979 F100. The only reason I'm selling them is cause I'm either going with a flat bed or step side. LMC sells them for 279.00 each I'd sell them for 150.00 for the set

I like mine. They came with my $450 truck and Ive found them to be handy. The only down side is you cant hose out the stake pockets to wash the dirt out.

I only need the right side for my '79 F150 long bed. You can email me at dave.fiedler@sbcglobal.net if you're interested in selling one or both.
