But like my dad once said "its cheaper than farming" See the Gov has put an end to farm subsidies and prices plunged and now I'm hearing that 30 to 35% of the ones who farmed this year won't next cause they won't be able to get a crop loan. I'm not talking about 30 acre truck patches I'm talking these guys farm 2000 to 8000 acres some more some less. It really looks bleak here.
Oh and please don't take it as a bash that it might only bring $---- here I'm not in any way wanting to take away from your awesome ride. I do feel however it would be a little easier to sell with a fleet bed. Good luck to you . Jim

I kind of agree with Jim here. I have a nice '72 flat bed that I know I will never be able to get my money back out of if I try to sell it as a flat bed. I have saved back a nice fleetside bed I will put on it if I ever decide to sell it.
I think you have a more limited buyer base with the flat bed..... They have to have a real use for it, like a business of some kind.
