What do they call those side boards on pickup beds

You know, the ones that look like stale bed sides?

Thinking about making some.
Any special advice or style points to consider?

Re: What do they call those side boards on pickup beds

Around here I mostly have heard them called high-sides. Stake sides as well, but only open slat style done for livestock hauling. Sideboards usually means just a single board.

I've always known them as side boards.

For one variation on the idea, search for M101 military trailer. Those normally came with the side and head boards.

Re: What do they call those side boards on pickup beds

What are you looking for? Style, utility?

Mostly style, however, I’m sure some utility may come of it.

Re: What do they call those side boards on pickup beds

My dad called them stake racks back in the 70’s. I built a set a few yrs ago for my truck out of Douglas Fir. My buddy with a cut down lowered truck he built said “you just knocked all the cool off that truck.”

Thanks, they are still on the truck. As an old timer I take what people say with a grain of salt.
