Got an older 12 valve 2500 with the stake holes on the top of the bed
rail.  I want to mount a fiberglass top on the bed so thought it would be
a good idea to seal up those holes.  What's the best way to do that??

I have seen some inserts you can put in them with folding rings for rope tie
downs. They have rubber seals on the bottom.

I have seen them at auto parts places like Autozone. I may have even seen
them at Wally world

That rubber seal is moreso to protect the paint rather than for
water proofing.

I wouldn't worry about it.  Just put the cap over the stake pockets and
fuggetaboutit.  What harm are you envisioning?

Like Mike said, don't worry about the holes.

Mine leaked water around the holes. The cap was just barely too narrow to
completely cover the rear stake pockets. I put some clear packaging tape
over the holes. No more leaks.
