What are these dimples, they look like they were put in at the factory. They may be to stop warping and I am not sure if I should take them out.
Thanks Larry

don't recall ever seeing anything similar, I'd say it's damage - where exactly are they? got a wider shot that shows location?

Most of the dimples are on the drivers side and I found one on the other side. They look to much the same not to be factory.

For what its worth I just checked my two 59's. Both have the exact same dimples and pattern. I then checked the extra two sets and they also have them. Still dont know what they are for though.

Maybe caused by a disgruntled factory worker, on his last day of work.


Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks.
Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.


As of 10-26-2022, A 55.2 Taskforce long bed now the work begins
