Re: Wood beds with bags??? Anyone got pics?

I suppose you could do something like this around your C-notches and of course your going to have to leave room for your fenders. Make it out of wood so it matches the bed I guess.

Build a bridge and do something like this if you want. However I think it looks unfinished myself with it in the middle.

Maybe don't notch it as much and bend up some metal over the entire thing.

Sure a shallow bed doesn't look as good, but it does in this photo and you still get the full use of the bed.

Yes, now thats what I'm wanting, pic 3, bed built up, but no gaps for things to fall thru.

Last pic is nice, but no room, seems things will fly out. I think a bed like that is, well just funny looking, IMO.
