Looking for stake pocket fillers
 
Can anyone point me to somewhere to purchase stake pocket fillers either plastic or rubber? I have tried a few different ones for different year trucks and types and none of them fit.

These could be 3D printed.

PETG or ASA filament would be the suggested filament.

I do not know of any that are a Direct fit.

Maybe someone has found some that fit?

Does anybody have dimensions of the stake pockets handy? My truck is in storage so I cant measure right now. I would be interested in a decent set also. I had a set years ago that had a little hook that would pop up if you moved a small slider. Can't seem to find them.

Today I re-engineered these and tried them again. What I did was cut the bottom feet or tabs off one side and then the are not so tight. they will go 7/8 of the way in but I tapped it with my fist and it went in snug. I painted mine to match my tonneau too. I tried to take one out and it is possible to get under it with a plastic tool and take it out. Also they do not move or rattle. I would prefer a silicone set but these will do.

A person could probably cut off the entire bottom portion and then use some silicone to hole them in

Here are a few tie down type covers. Non of them fit our trucks so not very helpful but you get the idea....

It doesn't get better than this. The best look for those pockets.

My dad thought they were for holding fishing rods while parked next to a pond or a cattle prod

I machined these from aluminum for flag pole holders.

The part that goes in the pocket itself is 2.025 x 1.415

I ordered some delrin(machinable plastic) to make some more that might be better for fresh paint, but never made them...

I took a stab and posted the files to thingiverse if anyone wants to print it
