Rental Trucks with stake pockets (?) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

After I sell my '69 I will need to get a rental that has these so that I can put up sides. The last one I rented (a Ford) had nothing there. I'm talking about actual stakes on an 8ft bed so that I can put up 4x8 plywood. Does any new truck even have these? Thx, Brian

Not an 8 foot bed but my 22 Ram 1500 has stake box pockets.

Thanks, I'll check around and see who rents these out.

The truck I rented from Lowes had stake sides. It was easy-peasy tossing sacks of mulch in. Plenty big enough for 3 yards of mulch sacks. I recall that rent was really cheap, but I had the truck back in less than an hour. Guarantee you that this old man had help throwing those sacks on and off! I didn't use my truck because I'd've had to unload all the camping gear, and duck under the lift gate 40 times, putting the sacks in and then taking them out and doing all that ducking again.
