Nice bed arrangement. Others often put the bolt heads on the inside so freight will not get scratched, of course that does nothing for getting driver scratched on the outside!

I put the stovebolt heads used on my '52 stake bed on the inside and used black acorn nuts on the outside after having the threaded end of the bolts rip into my arms as I walked by it seems like a thousand times over the years.
