2004+ stake pocket templates- cut thru cap

Hey All - Anyone know a good template for cutting the plastic cap to access the stake pockets?

If not, will try the dealer...

Also - anyone with experience placing stuff in the '04+'s pockets - Expect them to be hurky enough for just about anything, but can't find anything here...

Thanks!

From: the moral high ground
Research this before you cut.
How do you plan to use the pocket?


A true stakepocket is a hole in the toprail
PLUS guts inside, a metal cage boxed to hold what you put in the hole.

If Ford did not put a factory removable 'access cutout' over the stakepocket location what you will underneath is the hole
but no guts, there is no steel 'cage' to catch what you put in.

It's just a cavernous cavity between the outer sheetmetal and the inside bedwall.
