My truck came with this flatbed that had been on a previous truck. It had some bent rails, wood was bad and was way too tall, wide and long for my taste. So off it came.

Now I can move it around the shop a little easier without taking out a wall every time I drive it in and out....

I would have someone make a diamond plate bed with a nice aluminum header behind the cab.....

IT would be cool to spins those boys in a big mud puddle (yes I am a child), unless your behind it.
