Re: wood stake truck bed sides

hey i made a set for my stepper cause firstly i needed to be able to haul more crap in the back of much truck, and secondly i liked the way to completed the Hillbilly farm truck aspect of her...

Not a very good pic but you can see the proportions i used... I can give yah more detail shots if you'd like... I made mine so both long sides are seperate, and then the ends have some little brackets i made to hold the end boards at the window and at the tailgate. This works out good cause its like 2 minutes to put it in and take it out...

For materials i went down to our local home(A)hole and i think it was some pine boards that were 1"x2" or 3"? i dont remember, and then i think some 2"x2" was the right size for the stake pocket hole, maybe i had to rip them down a bit... Then i just coated it with some Polyurethane clear i had laying around just to keep the water off it and give it a bit more finished look....
