69 C-30 Flatbed Build (just the bed)
Built this bed three years ago on my daily driver. It is entirely bolt together. Broke many drill bits, cursed a lot and drilled about a bazillion holes. I'll post more pics of the processes.
I know it's not a polished show piece but it is strictly utility. Last edited by Richard2112; 04-08-2020 at 06:51 PM. |

The beginning. Lots of holes in the frame. Could use a little re-inforcement

Frame leveling component. Holes are for access to frame bolts

Re: 69 C-30 Flatbed Build
I love it! Will you make one for my 85 K20 (for free)? lol I just removed the bed on my 85 to rework the dual tanks and kept dreaming about building a custom bed for it...I'm digging your style!

Re: 69 C-30 Flatbed Build
I thought I would mention some special features, one is that I will never have to drop my tank to access anything...

Re: 69 C-30 Flatbed Build
A couple more nice features is, unlike most flatbeds, I can remove the entire bed (in one piece) and drive off. All my signal lights remain, my rear bumper, remains, my mudflaps, remain. There is nothing attached to this bed, either above or below, which would have to go back on after removing it.

Re: 69 C-30 Flatbed Build
This panel over my tank is easily removable by taking out 4 bolts, which is a whole lot easier than dropping a tank.
