I want to build a flatbed for my 1990 regular cab, long bed and it would help if i could find some plans or a website with some information on flatbeds. If you kow a place or have some please let me know.

long bed, single wheel, steel and I need it wide and long enough to fit two 4 wheelers sorry about that.

thanks DoubleNicoll

 

I dont have any plans on how to build one. But I found mine alongside the road in a field with a 4 sale sign 800 bucks. It was the best investment ever made to this truck.
Are you going steel or Aluminum?
Dually or single wheel?

 

I've got one on my truck. Workes nice even has nice little sides that go on it. It works good, but i dont like it. I would much rather have a regular bed. Theres pics in my gallery if u wanna take a look at it.

Sorry, no plans. I have loved my flat bed. I do haul 2 ATV's with it. I have met many while loading and unloading and the typical comment is 'sweet'. It is nice that when I want to go somewhere with the ATV's I don't need to mess with a ATV trailer on top of the RV.

That said, my bed is just under 8' wide, and 9.5' long. that seems to be a good size for hauling a couple ATV's as well as other duties. My bed height is also fairly low - means the loading ramp is not as steep. That helps if you are loading and offloading where the truck may be parked on a angle where the ramps might be steeper than normal. So far, tying the ATV's down with straps have been adequate and I haven't needed any sort of a side to put in the stake pockets, though I have thought about it.

Some pictures of my bed are in my gallery.

Best of luck,

Rich

 

Happycamper thats one nice truck, im jealous. Where did the sleeper come from? I'm not a white fan but i could change my mind. Why dont the two just swap beds lol, seems simple to me.

 

Thanks!, I like the setup. Sorry - don't remember what truck the sleeper was off of. It was built in 83 (markings inside) and the door handles are marked 'AMC'. I like white, but could do with some pinstriping.

it might be a bit to redneckish but i like the barb wire pinstriping. maybe my boss hit my truck again this summer, hes done it to past summers, i might get me a nice bed.

 

Go to www.tufindustries.com

It's a family owned company out of Minot, ND. They will sell you plans, parts kits, or ready made units. They manufacture beds, trailers, and jigs. I don't have any experience with them, I just came across their site the other day.
