Stake holes question

The stake holes in the bed sides on the '51 were welded over by the PO. I want to open them back up, could someone please post the correct dimensions.

Thanks, Don

Re: Stake holes question

I don't have the dimensions, the bed is in the body shop right now but here are my layout lines for when I cut mine in after shortening my bed.





Then the bottom corners need to be rounded off.

4"x6" ? no not really. Was able to figure the dimensions out and cut them back in as they were. Post will now sit straight within the pockets.

Thanks, Don
