Wow thanks for the quick response. one more question, who made your flatbed, and what was the cost (if you feel like sharing). Did you weld it on or is it bolted on? thanks again
Ryan

Ryan, I'm right there with you. I'm going to sling my 72's dually rear under my GMC. Haven't decide on the bed yet as I have an 8' stepside I'd like to use. Will have to keep each other posted. I fell it would be easier that way then trying to sling an axle under under the front of the 72.

A company outside of Wichita, KS called Bradtech made the flatbed to my specifications. I was going to install it myself but finally decided it would be much more simple to let them do it for a bit more added cost. The standard bed was about $900 or so if my memory serves me correctly and mine with some additions and installed was just under $2,000. More than the initial cost of my truck! It sure adds alot of functionality to my truck for me.

when we fabricated mine, the total cost was around $450 total. It's made from a 3 1/4" x 3/16" thick C channel . We coped the ends to fit into each other for a smooth corner and welded it up. The bumper was a piece of checker plat I had cut to the shape I wanted, and I made the mounting brackets and side mount gussets. It was actually easier than I thought it was going to be.

Tim
I don't have the facilities i wish i did to fabricate my own(and probaly not the talent either) if i could do it myself im sure i would.

Jim
i agree we will have to keep in touch. i think i will try to find the front and rear out of a late 70's-early 80's one ton 4x4 to use for mine, or convert the dana 44 somehow.
