Alan, where did you find the hardware for your stake racks. I've been looking for some time for my 1 and a 1/2 ton. Right now I have them scr*w*d together but I would like to find the brackets so they can be easily removed. Thanks, Jack

My stakes are for a flat bed so they will not be uch help but if you scroll down towards the bottom of my F1 page you will see the Barrel nuts I used with carriage bolts. It make a very clean finished job. They are also sometimes called sex nuts. They are a little hard to find and some places charge a lot. I found these on eBay for what I thought was a reasonable price. http://www.jebs-stuff.com/F1 I should have taken a picture uninstalled, the barrel nut has a long shank that goes back in the hole. You drill a large hole on the nut side than the bolt side. All the treads are then internal.

There are at least three styles of sides for pickups. One is the "stock rack", a high "cage" for hauling pigs and cows. There is a set of slats to raise the bed sides to haul feed sacks and hay bales, and another, consisting of single boards tha protect the top sides of the box, and often are used as a set of sign boards, as well. Most, if not all, of the stock variety were factory made by firms such as Obeco (Omaha Body Company), the others were mostly home built using plated carraige bolts to hold the slats to the stakes. On our farm, we used all three at one time or another. They probably would look pretty silly on today's posh "cowboy Cadillacs".

Alan, to post a single photo, Click on the BROWSE box and then browse to the folder with the photo in it. Select and open the photo and it will be attached to your reply. For multiple photos, use Photobucket or a similar web based photo sharing service. See Don Clink's permanent post in the General Ford Discussion section for hints on doing this.
