I need a picture of the tops of the bed rails

[Fastfrankie]

Can anyone shoot a picture or two of what the holes on top of the bed rails look like? My center ones are completely rectangular but the ones on the ends are chewed up a little. I'd like to see what they should look like when looking at them from above. These are the holes where the posts for the troop seats go into.

Also, how many holes are in a stock bed floor? I count four the size of a quarter and 4 small ones in the bed near the front of the bed - total of eight.

Anyone?

[Binford]

I'll confirm when I get home, but I believe the stake pockets are all the same size and shape. Not sure about the bed holes.

[Binford]

Oh, and I'll get a picture of the bed rails for ya when I get home in an hour or two.

[Binford]

Yup. All the same....

Hopefully someone else can comment on the holes in the bed as I have a pad in my bed and my CJ rollcage on top of that.

There were soo many holes in my bed when I got the truck, ex fire truck. I welded all of them shut, 52 holes if I remember correctly. I will probably re drill a few holes for drainage. Nice looking primer there Tim.

[Binford]

Oh, the rollcage? I'll be doing an expose on that later.

[george walker]

there are no holes in my bed floor and yes the pockets are all the same

[Fastfrankie]

Binny,

As usual, you come through again for me! Can't thank you enough!! Frank
P.S. I assume some of the holes in the bed are for the troop seats where they bolt to the floor of the bed correct? I could tell from looking at the holes what ones looked like they came factory punched etc.

The troop seats just sit in the stake pockets...they bolt to nothing...on a good bump, they jump.

[Binford]

Yeah, like brute says, the troop seats don't bolt to anything. The verticle rectangular posts fit down in the stake pockets and that's the only contact the troop seats have with the truck. When the seats are folded down, the support legs swing out on a hinge and sit at an angle in the corner where the floor meets the side. Any holes in the bed (and I do recall there being some quarter-sized holes in mine) would be for drainage.
