Heavy bed to Light bed

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.

The aux fuel tank and aux battery box had to go also.

I saved some off the the wood to make this "light and temporary" bed for now.

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.....
