Default Anyone shave their stake holes?

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

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

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
