flatbed pics?

[cutter61]

g'day everyone-i took the bed off of my 84 silverado(it's a flleetside longbox)to finally paint the frame,do the lines,pinion seal,shocks,etc(you guys know the drill)-need some ideas or pics of flatbeds-it is only going to be temporary for back and forth to work and has to be removed easily so i can continue working on the truck during weekends-most likely go with wood due to the price of steel-i've been sitting in the background checking posts and there are alot of nice rides out there-thanx for the inspiration and ideas so far-finnally posting a post-any ideas?

i was just in "one tons where are they now" thread and lots of good stuff-what i need is any pics or ideas on actually mounting to frame with crossmembers(sizes,height,width,clearence,etc...)decking it out is a nobrainer-thanx again

Welcome to the forum cutter61. I was going to suggest you check the picture forum, but you already did. If you don't get any response here, try sending a private message to some of the one ton owners. Maybe they can give you the info you need....

Maybe you could use 4x4 cut to width to mount to the frame mounting points. Then build a frame using 2x4 construction and join the frame to the 4x4s. If you not gonna haul anything heavy, you could probably use plywood for the flooring. Be sure to construct the floor a few inches (> 3") above the rear wheels. Good luck.
