The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Making a Stovebolt Bed Oak Stake Side Rails for my 1949 Canadian GMC

Hey y'all, if this isn't in the correct place, please let me know. I'm new here, and couldn't figure to where to ask this. I have a Canadian made 49 GMC 9434 1 ton 9' long bed. I am planning to make some stake side rails within the next week or so. I want to maintain the farm truck look and feel, and I have looked at so many examples of stake rails. On trucks with a pickup bed they all seem to have the rails on the outside of the stakes, and on flat beds it is the reverse, stakes then rails. I am wondering if anyone has done the rail THEN stake like the flat beds on a pickup bed & if you have pictures? I like the rustic look, and my 9' bed might look great like this, but I cannot find a single picture on a pickup bed. If I go with the stake then rail, I am going to leave a reveal at the top of the stakes. If I do the rail then stake, it will be a cleaner, no reveal.

Thanks!
