Any one have any pics of a customized or daily driver chassis-cab truck? I want some ideas for tail lights for street use. Please post more pics than you want!

Anyone?

They dont have to be Chevys.

DD Chassis Cab?

I think the closest thing would be YukonJack's (?) flatbed. Theres also a couple other nice flatbeds I've seen on here. Sorry no pics

I'm gonna be driving the rat piss out of my 4x4 project until I find a bed... I just can't bring myself to tear apart the 2WD just for the bed.

I'm probably just gonna end up stealing some dump truck lights for the tails make some mud flaps and just wire the license plate to the frame... I don't think you have to have a rear bumper if you have a tow package? If I wanna get real fancy I'll go buy some plywood and make a hilljob flatbed lol...

That's what I get the joy of doing real soon here. I'm gonna fab up a flatbed from plywood while I do the work on my actual bed. I'm also using it to protect the frame from the UV rays since I'm painting the rear half of the frame in Por-15 next week. I'll post up some pictures when I'm done.

Like I said, doesnt have to be a Chevy, btw DD would be preferred.

you may want to check your local laws before driving with no bed.
Rear bumpers were never required... and there's no such thing as a towing 'package' on these.
The ride will be so rough, and traction will be so limited, that it'll be REAL easy to lose control and wreck your truck

Andy speaketh the truth! I drove my '67 C-30 bedless for a while and I got caught in a heavy rain storm one day and it felt like the duals in the rear were floating in water puddles. I know it was just hydroplaning badly, but it really felt like the back of the truck was floating up!

Although most of those have beds, I know have sonme more ideas. Thanks. And I didnt even think of the hydroplaning part or the rough ride. I might have to put a bed on after all...HMM...what kind of bed though...
