The repo bed sides I am now finishing with new bed wood have no stops in them 
either.  I suppose an alternative would be to drill a small hole through the 
bed from the inside and use a single wood screw into the upright pieces.  I 
don't think I can drill a hole in that newly painted virgin metal.  I guess 
I'll wait a few years.
