Aluminum bed for 2500?
I'm lookin' for some good aluminum flatbeds that look right on a 2500 reg cab. I'm familiar with Hillsboro, B&W and Scott. Anyone got any suggestions?

I really like the fit & neat, clean look of my hillsboro, but I'd recommend the heavier floor that they offer if you're gonna haul much on it, I don't put alot on the bed, so the diamond plate floor works for me, good products though!! Dusty

I like the EBY beds personally although Hillsboro makes a nice bed also.

I had a Hillsboro Alum. on my truck when I bought it. It looked good until you looked close and found all the cracks in the welds, the headrack vibrated loose all the time and rattled. the previous owner had been hard on a truck with 69,000 miles! Good luck finding the one you like best, just make sure it heavy enough for what you want to do, the Hillsboro would proably been fine if it hadn't been abused so much. It 2 full days of prep and welding to correct all the damage on mine, and then it was fine and looked good.
