First Generation has 4 "stake pockets", 2nd generation had 3 pockets with curved metal and 3rd had 3 pockets with straight pockets and flat top rails. It is a way to identify the model years of the Dodge Power Wagon ('46-71) truck when the cabs all looked similar. "4 stake bed is '46-50". It is what one looks for (along the the late model extended grille of the 251 engine) on these models trucks. -- Last edit: 2014-10-24 12:39:25
