Will Sheet Of Plywood Fit Between The Wheel Well With Access Storage Pockets On 2002 Ford F-250

Question:

So can you still fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood in the bed with these installed on both sides or does the pocket shrink the width of the bed in between more than the thickness of the pocket metal? Im interested, but I cant find any literature on the approximate depth from the truck bed wall to the pocket once installed and then the distance between the pockets. In other words, how much between the bed wheel wells do you loose? In one video, it looks like they angle out towards the bed of the truck and in another, they look like they are parallel with the wheel wells. I attached a pdf to try to illustrate my question.

The material the Access G2 Galvanized Truck Bed Storage Pockets, part # A60070 is made of is galvanized metal. I called my contact at Access and they said the material is approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. The pockets run parallel to the wheel well and do not taper in. The photo can at times be deceiving based on the angle the photo was taken.

From my research I found that the distance between the wheel wells is 50.9 inches on F-250 and F-350 trucks. Adding the # A60070 pockets should allow you plenty of room to still fit a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood with no problem.
