Did the standard holes have plugs in them?

I would have sworn the rear standard holes had plugs in them, mine doesn't now at least. Its a 2015 Laramie if that matters.

If you're talking about the holes in the bed they should have rubber plugs in them but I have seen them missing. Your dealer could get them for you. Line X takes them out and covers the holes with aluminum tape before spray lining the bed so they may have some laying around.

The standard holes are the square holes under the plastic top rail in the top of the bed side, like where people used to put side boards. The ones near the tailgate are open and I would have sworn they had a plastic plug in them. The ones toward the front are solid and have to be cut out to access the hole in the bed side.

Stake pocket holes.
I feel like mine are covered just like the front holes.

My 2017 Crew back ones were open, fronts were sealed, my buddies 2017 Silverado LTZ is the same way.

Here’s a pic of mine with the eBay covers.

My 17 Express is the same. Rear are open and front need to be cut open. That's what I liked about my 2500 was it had 6 stake holes with no covers. I made a real nice rack for it.

I guess I should spend more time with my truck, I thought they were covered. I haven't driven it in seven weeks! I've always heard them called standard holes but I do remember hearing stake pocket also now that you said it. I will order the ones off ebay those look good. Thanks guys.
