for the front and rear corners I cut vertical up the bed sides but saved the bed rails by stopping the cut 3/4" from the top of the rail and then cutting horizontal...then I cut off the end of the bed rail with the messed up pockets...I drew a line with a sharpie to show where I made the cut....that kept the smooth rail top intact and eliminated the destroyed stake pockets on each corner as well...here's a pic showing the result..I've still got to trim the ends and im gonna cap the bed rail ends..you can see in the pic the end of the rail is 1/4" to long...I left that so I could trim to fit later...
