Hauling dirt/rock with bed rails?

Even a piece of visqueen will work as long as you don’t beat it up shoveling the material out. As it gets empty you can roll the tarp out of the truck and consolidate what’s left over.

This is exactly what I do as well when my dump trailer isn't available.

Not any more, 4x4. We is aluminum too!

Apparently the rock just cuts right through the military grade aluminum on the Ford so I haven't even bothered to try hauling gravel on mine. Chevy guys can just dump er in.

Stake pockets? What in the bed would clog up?

Exactly, what is going to get clogged up? Or are you talking about the hitch rails if you remove the hitch body?

Rental.

1. Don't do it. Borrow a trailer or hire it.

2. Plywood cut to shape, tape the seams.

3. Conveyor belt, or bed mat, or horse stall mats cut to shape and taped.
