Stake Pocket Insert

admin

I don't know if it's just me, but I can't find a piece of steel/aluminum to tightly fit into a stake pocket on a trailer/truck.  Am I stuck with wood?
Reply:You don't want it tight.  When trying to line up with multiple stake pockets, tight will give you trouble.My name's not Jim....
Reply:I've got only two.Something not sloppy is what I'm looking for.
Reply:beef up whatever you have thats close with bead or shim plates to match the pocket ..
Reply:Take a piece of channel iron and slit it down the middle in a V  then beat the ends together with a BFH and weld up the seam.  Cap the top and weld a pipe to it.  Bobs your uncle you got a nice little stake.i think mine were all made out of C3 channelsVantage 500's LN-25's, VI-400's, cobramatics, Miller migs, synch 350 LX, Powcon inverters, XMT's, 250 Ton Acurrpress 12' brake, 1/4" 10' Atlantic shear,Koikie plasma table W/ esab plasmas. marvel & hyd-mech saws, pirrana & metal muncher punches.
