The last 2 I built I used 2x Pine and nailed them on with 20 penny ring-shank spikes. I'm looking at using hard wood for the next one, in which case I'll probably buy a length or 2 of 1x1x1/8" angle iron, drill 2 holes in it for a 5/16 bolt on both sides and offsetting them to not interfere with each other, then bolt them all down. Probably use lag screws into the stringers, after pre-drilling a pilot hole for the screw. Sounds like you're using treated pine (could be wrong) so I'd just use a big ring shank nail and a bigger hammer. I use our biggest ball pein we've got on the farm to drive those suckers, I think it's a 24 oz. Not sure though. I also make pockets for the backs to fit into, so there is no actual bolts directly holding the back to the wagon. Makes it a quick job to pull the back off when not wanted or needed, and if the back happens to catch on something and break, it's just the 2x4 for the upright and nothing else. Takes all of an hour max to replace the broken upright and the rest of the wagon is fine.
