I'm wondering if this is a common mod. If so, does one usually also remove the brackets at the front of the cab?

Some things on my 55 are shaved.......not sure about the stake hole

I plan on doing mine before paint. Most trucks you see have done the same.

Jemo · 11-07-2009, 09:22 AM

whoops, sorry. Meant to say "smoothe" the holes. Mine is a fleetside and has a bracket in each front corner that holds the stake. Not sure if I should remove it also though.

I'm sorry Jeff but your question sounded like an adult subject for another type site

It would sound even dirtier if whispered

Good luck with your project... Later, Dave
