Hello Dick!

Welcome to FTE. Hey you need to go to the opening page of our forum, click on "New Thread" and introduce yourself around to everyone!

There are a couple bed threads that are really good - but our search function is "currently being worked on." Here is the link othe thread "Mostly" mentioned:

If what I think you are discribing is true, then yes youneed to clamp them in together and weld them in place.

See you at your INTRO!

I sent mine to Rodney in Wellington , Colorado. He charged me $45.00 each but I feel it was worth it. E-mail him at (rodney42@q.com). I sent him a photo of mine and he quoted me a price and called and confirmed that he could do them for the price. This is how they looked before.

It's been so long ago that I tore the old bed apart I forgot how the rear stake pockets attach to the ends of the crossmember. There is a cutout in the bed side where the rear stake pocket meets the rear crossmember. I'm assuming that the rear stake pocket must clear this cutout so that it touches the bottom of the rear crossmember - is this correct? Thanks for any help you can offer. Any pictures available so I can see what this looks like assembled? Thanks again, Dick

Dick,

Is it possible that gap is there as a drain? (this reminds me that I need to drill a hole in the custom rear sill that I fabricated to allow water to drain out)
