I am restoring a mid-50's Ford stakebed for my '56 F-350 dually, and have 16 of the 20 steel stakes necessary stakes to complete a full set of side boards. Does anybody know if these are available from FORD or another source? I think the stakes were used for many years on many variations of FORD stake beds.
The stakes are stamped and formed steel, 35" total length. The area that goes into the stake pocket is a rectangle 1.5" x 3"

I just need four to complete the set. I am replacing all the wood, so that is not a factor.

Pictures of the F-350 can be seen in My Garage. Here are photos of each side of the metal stakes:

 

Wow!! You really get around. Good job to post in more threads. I posted in yer other one.

On edit I just looked at yer truck. Damn nice!!! and I really meant that.

I got a 66 F350 that's just plain ugly but runs and drives. Same stakes.
