stake pocket
On the bed stake pocket, I've seen many trucks where the lower end is extended and curved into the bed. Gives it a clean look. Are those extensions produced by some one or are they custom made?

Re: stake pocket
It's a lot of work to cut reshape the outside and weld it back together I did it on the bed I had on my 48 before the one that is on it now and though I was being cute by removing the bolts at the back to slick it up and welded it up and the welds cracked out way too quick.

Re: stake pocket
Ok, now you guys have me thinking. I may just take an old stake pocket and cut a piece to extend straight down even with the roll pan. Ideas, ideas, ideas !!!
