Has anyone seen or made any 3100 stake bed pocket covers?
I know a lot of new pickups have plastic ones that snap in.

I would like to see something that would snap in my bed stake holes and that I could paint body color.
I need to replace my bed wood in the spring and would like to smooth that out. I think I would like that better than the
wood side rails.

I'm wondering if anyone else has done this?
Thanks,
JD

I think that stake pocket covers for the sloped bed sides would be difficult to find, but I may be wrong. If you really want to smooth the bed sides and don't ever need the pockets, using a sheet metal piece welded in place would be the way to go. But that means repainting.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Mack Products have taken over Mar-K's product line, so they might be someone to check with.

I would think someone with a basic 3D printer could make you some pretty easily. I have seen the flush mount weld in ones.
