Flatbeds?

I'm looking for a flatbed for my 03 3500 DRW. The only ones I've found locally in the Helena, MT area are Cadet and Aluma-Line. The latter is much too expensive, unfortunately.

The Cadet one that I like is basic but nice. All steel, diamond-plate deck, 8' wide by 9' long, etc. List is $1995 plus $450 installation.

I'm wondering if there are any other brands I should consider?

Thanks!

Rob

Here are a couple more. Quite a few ranchers around here, including my father, have a Besler or A Deweze with a bale fork.

I saw the B&W and dang they sure are pretty!!! Just no way can I afford one of those puppies just yet.

I put a deposit on the Cadet "Western" model yesterday. I'll have it installed next week. It's a decent looking bed, but I'll admit that I'm having reservations just because it still won't be as pretty as the truck is now.

But it sure will be nice having that thing for carrying sleds and quads around...
