Mark,
If you get the pictures, please make an announcement on the list as
several of us are interested in making stake sides for the regular bed.
I'm also interested in the possibility of making a flat bed and would love
to see detailed pictures of someone's truck with flat bed and side stakes.

check the chevytrucks.org website for my brother's truck under my name. .
.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.
