Why Delete Your Truck's Stake Pockets?
Factory stake pockets were originally designed to accommodate removable stakes and cargo accessories. While functional on a working truck, many custom truck builders prefer the cleaner appearance of smooth bed rails.
Smooth, Custom Bed Rails
Removing the factory stake pocket openings creates a streamlined appearance that complements custom paint, shaved trim, and other exterior modifications.
Save Fabrication Time
Fabricating individual stake pocket filler panels requires measuring, creating templates, cutting sheet metal, and repeated fitting.
These preformed steel filler panels provide a convenient starting point, reducing the amount of fabrication required to achieve a smooth bed rail.
18-Gauge Steel Construction
Manufactured from 18-gauge steel, these panels can be incorporated into traditional automotive sheet metal welding and finishing processes.
Complete Long Bed Kit
This kit includes six filler panels, providing the pieces needed to eliminate all six factory stake pocket openings on a long-bed pickup.
