Re: Bed stakes

I've always liked them on the older trucks before 50's or so but not too crazy about them on the later models like ours. With me I think it's a nostalgia thing. I remember old trucks with them in the old days. Farmers and ranchers had them on their trucks to carry supplies, produce or small farm animals. I don't know why they went out of favor later years. I think the loss of the small farmer and the introdcution of the big mega super stores.
