Show us wooden bed sides/stake sides please.
I am thinking of making a pair of wooden stake sides for the truck.
Definitely cosmetic with minimal function. For car shows etc. Please show us any pics that you have of side views or close up details. Thanks. Posted via Mobile Device

www.mar-k.com oops I was wrong, they do not have any info. Just stick a post in each stake pocket and bolt some boards on it. ha ha as if that is the way you do things................Kieth |

Re: Show us wooden bed sides/stake sides please.
Here's a pair we made for some advertising last year. Would have looked better with some polished carriage bolts.

Re: Show us wooden bed sides/stake sides please.
Hi Grizz the forum is working on their servers and I can't post any pictures right now the mod said they would be working on it for a few days or so. If you like PM me your internet address and I will send some pic's of my stakes on my truck. And if you would rather not I understand your privacy concerns..Vernski

Re: Show us wooden bed sides/stake sides please.
Thanks for the replies.
I will add what I did, onto this thread so that it can be a resource to others. Friday night after work, on the way home, I stopped at the Hardware store (B&Q) to pick up some wood. ![]() Should not take much to guess where to next. As always, made it up in my head, as I went along. ![]() Old Mickey was up at 05.00 this morning as well, and when I looked out the bathroom window, he was way up in his cherry tree, trying to beat all the birds to the fruit, so when I went down to the garage at 07.00 to pull the truck out, he was there like a shot, large shopping bag full of freshly picked cherries..... could not ask for much more, could I ? Well , I got more...... A helping hand, he is such a loyal neighbour and always likes to be around when I make stuff, as some of my ideas are just mad to him. Fortunately, he "Got" the latest creation instantly, and approved. ![]() I did not want a plain, two rail bed side but rather a stepped one. So cut and prepped the wood to have it like this, and then mocked it all up before doing the wood glue and clamps. At 11.00 I shut shop, showered and got changed, then we took the motorbike and went to Whitstable for the party, which turned out to be just great. ![]() Back home from our visit by 5.30pm Fearless Harley kept on getting under my feet most of the day as well, and every time I moved past the tailgate, she was up to get a stroke, cuddle or just to sqwauk at me for attention. ![]() Glued it all together in place with Mickey as extra hands. Next job will be drilling and counter sinking all the holes for two brass wood screws per joint. Ohh, and to stain it medium dark oak. ![]()

Re: Show us wooden bed sides/stake sides please.
Your wish is my command......
Mickey came around today to hassle me to fit them too. Over here they are also known as "Greedy Boards" as they allow you t be greedy and add larger than sensible loads to a truck. Tow ball fitted and some red reflective tape added to the rear step for night time visibility. ![]() As always, Mickey popped around through the day. Then once these jobs were done, we also rolled up the tonneau cover and fitted the bed sides as he wanted to see the dark painted sides up, the cover tucks in nicely behind the uprights. ![]() All in all, a great weekend so far. Still loving this truck.

Re: Show us wooden bed sides/stake sides please.
Grizz the racks look nice on the truck, could you tell me what a shifting spanner is? Haven't heard that before, a friend from Canada calls a cresent wrench an adjustable spanner is that the same thing?..Vernski

"shifting spanner"....across the pond, we call that a pipe wrench. Have to add that to my English- to- English translation dictionary, along with "hood" and "bonnet" and the others we talked about! ![]() |

Re: Show us wooden bed sides/stake sides please.
Last years set...they have been "done up" a little since and look better...these photos are old ones. Redneck stakes I call them.
