Yeah, i am missing both of the circled ones. I believe they are not as tall as the other ones. Its hard for me to say cause when i got the truck the bed was rusted off. So i have nothing to go by.

The one labeled "missing" was never installed by the factory for some reason, that is where I added a steel angle. It is also were my original bed had the worse damage, bend metal strips and damaged wood.
