Default Flatbed Side Rails

I've been looking and looking since I bought the truck for side rails. I couldn't find any, SO, I made my own. 30'x3"x3"x3/16" angle, 6 pieces of 1 1/2"x3" C-channel. Bolted to the pockets so they don't just walk off. Once it warms up some, I'll sand(rough up) and paint them.

Finished the other side and sliding rail that adjusts the storage area in the bed. It adjusts to 3 positions basically in 1/3's of the bed.

Looks good I'd round the corners a little though.

Yeah, I did. I hit all the edges that had been cut as well. They're all pretty smooth now. Next weekend should be warm enough to paint them so they won't rust. Thanks for looking!
