I cannot find anyone that sells the metal I need to build sides for my flatbed. It has the standard stake pockets. Many people use lumber, but I don't like the look. I need to bend some flat metal (14g ish) into pocket stakes and sides. I would like for the sides to be 1 piece, so an 8' brake would be rad.. but I imagine that's a long shot. I would need at least a 4' brake.
Here is my totally awesome drawing of what I am thinking..
The '7' shaped piece is the side rail and will set down on the 'c' shaped stakes..

The stakes could be bent at the 8' or 4' length, then I could cut to size.

Where can I go to get this done?

I have a 4' brake that will handle 14ga. It is Chinese, so it sometimes puts a little bit of a bow into the piece you just bent--but usually I can straighten it out by hand. Buy your 14ga material and bring it over. :cool:
