stake pockets
I'm in the process of building my box from scratch; I've noticed on some 48-50's that there is a mini stake pocket, mid point over the rear fender. Were these stock on all boxes ?

Tom,
I jut looked through my pics, I don't have any showing any kind of detail on the part. I'll snap a few this afternoon when I get home and post them.
Check this out, its a link to the Mack Hils catalog;

Tom,
I found these listings online. The Mac's Antique Auto catalog (Vintage Ford catalog) has a decent picture in it.

Here's the drawing from Mack Hill's:
Here's a picture from Northern Classics:
For $15 a piece I think it would be worth buying them instead of making your own. I would probably try to hammer out a set if I had something to use a pattern but I'm cheap.
One thing I noticed when I looked through the pictures I have is this gussets were only used on the '48 to mid '50 boxes with the raised sides. All of the late '50 to 52 pictures I have of the smooth sided boxes didn't have them. I never noticed that before.

Thanks, perfect
Thanks once again guys; it would seem to make sense to install them , even though my bed will not be stock. The extra strenght can't be a bad thing.
