I'm thinking that I want to make a set of wooden rails to add to the sides of my bed. Something that goes in to the stake pockets with one or two long boards. I want these to be possible to take off when I don't need them so nothing that will be permanently attached.
Sort of like on this Warlock:
Has anyone here made anything like this and want to share pictures and info?
What dimensions and type of wood did you use?
I'm thinking that I want to get a heavyduty tarp that can be attached to these as a cargo cover if I ever need it.

Back on the farm, we would always put the posts on the outside and rails on the inside. Just saying
I sold all of my sweptline trucks,except the invisible one. I just couldn't stand to see it go!

Re: Wooden bed side rails
Thanks, that is exactly what I'm thinking of doing. I don't want it to be super nice, it has to match the truck
Any special type of wood that is recommended for such use?

Re: Wooden bed side rails
I wish I had a money tree
So, I'm into modelkits and one of the first kits I built was Monograms 1940 Ford pickup street rod, in this red with flames edition from 1985.
The kit has exactly the look that I'm looking for on the bed side rails.
Here they have put the rails on the inside of the posts just as digdoug says.
