This tutorial of How To Build Pickup Truck Sideboards is an amazing homemade inexpensive project that can help homesteaders increase their truck’s hauling capacity and versatility.
A pickup truck bed is ideal for hauling household items, appliances, building supplies, animal feed, animals in secure kennels and even emergency preparedness equipment in an disaster evacuation. Most older pickups have square holes (stake pockets) that run on top the the bed rails allowing to build pick truck sideboards.
Please note that if you do add sideboards (or do any type of modifications/customizations) to your vehicle, you will need to add custom parts and equipment coverage if you want them to be insured.
