Hi, fairly new here but I found that putting the photos into the My Pictures part of the computer and using the Preview folder pictures works for me.

You can also use MSPaint (should be in the accessories folder in the start menu, assuming you're using windows). Go to Image>Stretch/Skew, and put in the percentage you want to shrink it in the stretch area.

"Small stuff on flatbed"- put folding or removable sides on bed which also provides full width flat surface to work off of and cab protection. P/U box made of light weight tin with scratchable sides, limited space and no cab protection. Poor tie down access for awkward loads and forklift access from only 1 angle. Too bad DC took 10 years to figure out that cab and chassis with a crewcab was a marketable item and no tinfoil box. PK

Dang, that looks SWEET! One of the best looking flatbed/truck combos I have seen. I think the color of your truck coupled with the flatbed looks awesome. Definatley a thumbs up from me. Making me want to convert mine to a dually/flatbed. lol

yeah it is shorter than most, it's only like 8' or 8'6" vs. the norm 9', but that's part of what I liked so well about it, I did have the chrome weights on the mudflaps, but they didn't survive the winter! I have cosidered the Cummins mudflaps, I had them on a 90' flatbed I used to have, since the winter is about over here I might do a few small things to it, I've been thinking about getting the chrome bezels that go around the lights, (the kind that screw into the rubber gromet around the light) might have to try those & see how they look, I'm gonna build some small removablesiderails for it when I get the time too, probably use like a 4" channel on them, or then again I might do the siderails out of aluminum??? gonna toy around w/some ideas in the next few weeks, if I keep the truck I'll be posting some pics of the bed w/ some 5" or 6" mitre cut stacks on it as well, how do you think it would look with them run up right beside the backup lights??? would that be too close together???? thanks for the replies guys, keep the ideas/thoughts comin', thanks again, Dusty
