Drop the flatbed ~10", tub the wheels, add some nice Alcoas, and BAM! Shaweet!

Or freshen up and rock it. Looks really nice

Looks great to me just as it sits. Wouldn't change a thing. But, (always one) it's not my truck, so do whatever floats "YOUR BOAT".
Nice truck.

Anything will hurt if a person doesn't know how to use it.

My dad is so fond of those steering knobs he put one onto this snow plow tractor.

That is one good-looking flat bed! Congrats on that.

I'd love to have a C 30 or K 30 flatbed......did you have to pay extra for the debris in the bed?
