Reviving a post from 9 yrs ago.
Who else has "Side Rails", "Side Boards", "Advertising Boards", "Stake Rails", "Stake Racks" etc. Post up some pics please.

As a young wanna be carpenter in 1977 I had a 68 GMC that I drove to high school. I got a Summer job as a carpenters helper "Goffer". My Boss bought a brand new 77 Dodge Warlock that Summer. It had oak side rails from the factory and I though it was the coolest truck EVER! It wasn't long before I fabricated a make shift set for my old GMC.

Fast forward to the present. A carpenter for over 40+yrs. I built this set out of full 1X5 Douglas Fir. Which my buddy, who is the same vintage as me, said " You have gone and knocked all the cool off your truck".
Last pic I pulled off this site some where and was the 2nd choice for the 67.
