I think that's what it's called. The two vertical pieces on the corners of the bed. My big master plan was to buy a new bed..but mine is rebuildable and the difference in $$$ is just too great. A lot more elbow grease..but that's the spirit of the back yard restorer.
My concern about saving the rusty pockets is one of rust between the pocket and the bed side...likely will show up again after the bed is painted. This is a 69 GMC bed..same box as the'55 only 8" longer than the 55 long box. This gives me an opportunity to just cut 8" off the back taking the stake pockets with it..a lot easier than drilling spot welds.
I know I have seen these for sale in the past..I of course looked at Mar-k first don't see them there. Anyone know of a source?
Thanks,
Keith
