Typical farm truck - love it! Complete with mismatched mirrors and tires too!
But man, someone really don't know how to build stake sides - 2x4 rails with 2x2 poles, two 5/16" carriage bolts per junction (with nylock nuts and 1/4" washers), front and rear bed pockets are 6" deep and the middle is 5" or so, you put the lowest stake rail 3-1/2" above the bed rail and you leave again 3-1/2" gap between all the rails and you end up with 14" tall stake sides in the double-rail setup you have and 21" tall stake sides in the triple-rail setup. Tripples-rail stake sides are great for hauling hay bales or helping a buddy move, but they look like crap on anything that is not a dually. Stepsides usually look great with double-rail stake sides. Fleetsides like yours get the special treatment - double-rail stakes, with full-length lower rails and half-length uppers, ends up looking pretty darn sweet, even more so if you build yourself a matching tailgate Yeah, you can say I've been down that road once or twice
