Re: Any Lowered Flatbeds out there?

i would like it if it wasnt tubbed up in the flat bed. only ones ive ever seen are duallys that are lowered. one of the sharpest trucks ive ever seen was a blue 71 gmc that was static dropped.

Re: Any Lowered Flatbeds out there?

Re: Any Lowered Flatbeds out there?

My cab and chassis is lowered 3 inches, which is as much as possible and still retain true 10 ply tires for actual dually truck type of hauling.

Re: Any Lowered Flatbeds out there?

There was one for sale on craigslist here a while back, like October or so. It was a diamond plate flatbed and it was lowered on what looked like a 5/7 static drop. Looked sweet.
