I'm looking at a '04 chasy cab because the price is right. What I'd like to do is put a flat bed on it. I would just like to know if anyone has done this and how much it would cost, I'd be putting the bed on myself. If the cost for the bed is worth the savings in the truck. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just a 8ft flat bed black painted steel and some removable side boards. Thanks in advance for the help.

I am doing my 06 right now. It depends on what you want in a bed. The cheapest you could get a plain steel bed would range anywhere from $13 -$17 hundered. I am putting a dump under mine with a nicer bed going to run around $4500.

 

Thats not to bad, sounds like that is some thing I can do. Thanks for the info kev94mx.

 

Also who did get get yours through? anything you really need to look out for on a flat bed?

 

I am going this week to get it done. I am fixing to pull the factory bed in a few minutes.

 

Cool good luck, let me know how it goes.

 

Adam, welcome aboard. As far as flatbed info goes, I tried a search in the Towing and Hauling section using the words "flatbed aluminum steel" in it and a few threads popped up.

Here are a couple that you might take a look at for more info:

Thanks for the help bulabula, those links gave me some good info and some ideas too, thanks again.

 

YES Thanks. I got the bed off and going tomorrow to get the ball rolling. I will post pics and info when I get it back. I am very picky when It come to my trucks looks and if anyone else has any ideas or sugestions please let me know.

 

Ok, I'll be looking forward to seeing the pics.

 

I went and looked at my bed yesterday before they painted it. I really like it alot. The dump is a nice neat package and the bed is built really well. I suppose to get my truck back Friday. They are putting black tool boxes on each lower frontside. While I was at it I ordered me a westin bull bar to make it look even better.

 

Dump? Not my kinda dump is it?

 

An 04 C&C? I didn't think they made a C&C from 03-06?

 

They didnt really. We pulled the beds off our trucks. One other reason I went this way its harder to get loan on a c&c

 

OK, I was mainly just making sure I wasn't loosing my mind. I have thought about doing the same thing with mine...
