8' Box Stake Pockets?

[CJM]

Could somebody please let me know how many stake pockets are uncovered on the 8' box?
I wanted to order some snap in covers to stop excess water coming in the box past the tonneau cover.
I am going to order the caps so they will be here when my truck arrives. Thanks.........

There are 3 on each bed side 6 total

So none of them are covered from the factory?

None of mine were in my ‘21. I actually put recessed rings in the back 4 on mine and ordered covers for the front 2. They sit under my tool box to help with sealing my toolbox tonneau cover

Thanks, that's the answer I was looking for.
I hate to have to pay $66 for 3 sets of plugs for the stake pockets.
Maybe there is something better to use to block off the stake pockets.

Contact Truxedo. When I ordered mine they come in a set of 2 large and 4 small plugs which means I had to order two sets as the long bed stake pocket holes are all small. I emailed the company and they were unaware that the long beds had 6 small pockets. They sent me four additional plugs at no cost which left me two spares. And use silicone adhesive to install them as I lost one on the road due to vibration. Good thing I had a spare. Took them all out and used a bead of silicone around the base of the plug to prevent future loss. I also have their Pro X15 tonneau.

I can’t remember for sure but I think truxedo is the brand I bought mine from. They actually send you two different sizes. I only needed two so I have spares.

Yup. Same happended to me. The large ones don't fit and are wasted. And they are expensive in Canada. Contact them. They were good with me.

$66? Ordered mone from Truxedo and they were 12 bucks. Select 8'2" bed and you get 6.

To you guys that got the Truxedo Covers. They fit the plastic rail caps okay? All the pictures I seen
show them on the bare stake pockets (no plastic caps). I wanted to get the ones that fit flush but for over $50
US Dollars difference I would give the Truxedo ones a try.

Yes, they fit. The rear ones didn't feel real tight so I used some silicone around the base to make sure they didn't come out. Photo shows rear on driver side.

CdnHO, thanks for that picture. I ordered a set of the Truxedo covers directly from Truck Hero.
$12.99 and free shipping, can't beat that!

Appears the part number has changed. Hopefully a 6 pack of small covers since that is what is needed for the long bed. Way, way cheaper in the US. Let me know what you get.

When I checked the Truxedo website it said that the part number 1706707 covers fit
the 2021 Ram 3500 with the 8' box. Hopefully that will be the right set. I will let you
know how it goes. Said they are shipping today.
