Oh, and here's what the "stake pockets" looked like before they were mounted.

RUNNER >>> Thankyou much for the info. I've got the wood mounted onto the frame ....after paint. Looks like I'll use the traditional stake pockets and corner braces. I've got some 2 to 3 ft wide 5/4 rough cut boards that Dad had collected & perhaps I'll use some of that for the sides and back.

Thanks again.

SARG,

You are welcome!

If you search my posts, you'll find several other pictures of my carryall.

Best of luck with your build.

I can't seem to find pictures of my carryall box, but I can describe how I did this. My box is slightly wider than twice its depth (front to back), so I hung hinged sidewalls that fold in against the front (vertical wall) if I ever want an open L-shaped platform. The sidewalls slope down a bit toward the back, to help maintain backwards visibility. The sidewalls are also equipped on their back (vertical) inside edges with short sections of channel iron to take up to three drop-in tailgate boards (2x8s). In addition, one of the tailgate boards can be slipped into shelves on the sidewalls to form a seat, in case you ever want to take helpers out to the woods or berry patch. Finally, on the front of the vertical (wood) wall I have mounted a couple of plastic tubes for tool handles and a wooden chainsaw scabbard.

McMaster Carr has the interlocking corners, as well.

Thanks, beenthere! My daughter, who works for a fluid dynamics R&D company, is always telling me the same.... "McMaster-Carr!"

I'm thinking I should move them to the top of the list for all my "bits & pieces" searches! Most of he people I described those corner pieces to had no idea what I was talking about.

Yeah, SARG, those look just like the ones I got. I thought they were pricey, too, but also thick- they won't wear out anytime soon!

Seems like I paid over $5 apiece for them, back in May of 2008. The surface rust doesn't seem to bother them at all.

That rear "gate" on my trailer lifts right out yet fits very snugly- thanks to those brackets. (Other panels- sides & front- are bolted in at the base of the posts.)
