Thanks for the info Mark.
I guess what I am looking for isn't a full farm-like stake setup but rather
just a couple of rails mounted on 2" x 2" uprights on both sides of the bed.
I'm not going to be hauling any hay around here in the big city!

.it still has the orginal stakes that the original owner put on it in 1957
(and these were transferred from his older truck). I assume that the design
would work on the AD's as well as TF's since these actually came off an
older truck. My brother bought the truck from the farmer who was the
original owner so the info is solid. The stake sides are oak painted black
and have stood up well to time. Brian is off busy working but in a few
weeks I could get him to take some detail pictures that I could scan and
send to you.
