what do you call those parts that connect one stake side to another?
Are they remade or are there workable equivalents available?

carnut14,
I ordered a set (in 200?) from the below company. The connections are similar to original and they can be reshaped to match originals (like the drawing shown). I have seen these connections in a local hardware store (I think about $5 each).

Using an original stake connector plate as a pettern, I made the rest of the ones that I was missing. They came out perfect and my costs were next to nothing.

I notice the restored trucks seem to have these parts painted. do they get all scraped up?

The stake racks were completely assembled and then painted body color originally.
