Default AA Truck Stake Bed Brackets

Good afternoon I recently purchased a pile of old parts and included were a bunch of the "connectors" that are used on the AA stake bed trucks to help tie all of the wood sections together. Does anybody have any pictures of how the corner brackets go together? Thank you for the help.

i agree they do look very very close. So how many pieces would one need to replicate the ford stakeracks?

i think its 16 upright posts

then from what i can tell:

2 left corner brackets
2 right corner brackets
2 left flat straight side brackets
2 right flat straight side brackets

What did the rear portion look like and the front nearest to the cab?
