Never say I didn't offer

Like I said, we're a dealer, which means my bed was CHEAP!!!

The bed was $1050 mtd and wiring, tool boxes were $200 on sale (TSC), and I bought all the LED's for $250. That's without the GN hitch (I already had one), but it's a standard feature, and I built the bumper. My bed was custom built, 8'x8.5' with a rubrail on all three sides, sideboards, HD framing, and the headache rack was custom so I could mount the beacon on it and the loadlights.

The bed you're looking at seems like a good deal too, especially since somebody had to make some money on it.

we build custom truck beds, but we have a few std lines as well. There's several dealers in your area. If you're interested, PM me.

We also build a 9' model and an 8'8" for the shorter trucks. Very heavy duty, and some of the nicest around, although not the cheapest. Depends on what you want.

But it looks good except that I can't pull one of my trailers, it is too long @10', tried to turn and I could barely turn, so now I'm trying to make up my mind if I want to try and find an original dually bed or try and find a shorter flatbed. Good luck in making your choice.
Take it to a machine shop and have them modify your bed, on the back corners go in about 12" and cut it at 45 degree angle, it should give you the turning room you need and not loose the length of your bed, if its done right it will look good

ya if you get a bed with out a wood deck the best way to keep from face planting it when you get up there when its wet or slick its to put some type of a spray on bed linner on the decks.

I had some aluminum fenders coated for my Mack and had to have them redone. They didn't prep the aluminum right the first time and the linex bubbled. If done right, it works good.
