drain holes
Well, with all the rain here in tulsa... I've got a free pool.
In the back of my ford!!!!
Are there supposed be drain holes in the bed? I figured they were there, just plugged.
Let me know if i'm going to have to be drilling the bed soon. I just dont want rust to make its own drain.

re: drain holes
Most trucks do have at least 2 small holes up by the front of the bed. Look underneath and see if you can see them, or stick your hand in the water and kinda rub along the bottom. If for some reason they're not there, just drill a couple. When it dries, you might want to touch them up with something so they don't rust out. ![2 cents :2cents:](./images/smilies/icon_2cents.gif)

re: drain holes
I always used to take a piece of bailing wire and run it along the crease at the front of the bed. You will feel the holes then just push the crap out of it.

I own a Jeep Wrangler.. what I did was buy a couple extra rubber plugs for the drain holes in the Jeep and make the drain holes in the back of the truck match the size of the ones in the Jeep.
Put the plug in when it's try, take the plug out to let it drain when it's wet.
