CM Truck Beds

Anyone seen these flat beds? Company is based in Oklahoma, there's a local dealer here who carries them. Good prices. I'm considering yanking my bed off and putting on one of theirs, possibly the SK model with the skirted sides and the underbody tool boxes. Don't know if I need the 8'6" or the 9' bed, probably the shorter one. How do you think it would look on a SRW 2500? I could sure use the extra room, want to be able to put an extra skidsteer attachement up there and strap it down, or a pallet of stuff. What do you all think? Don't know if I'm allowed to post their website, but if you search CM trailers it will pop up.

I have one - came with the 05' truck which I bought used. If you can pull up a picture of my rig, you'll see it. Nice to be able to keep the rear window open without the bother of someone climbing through ! Tool boxes are great and stay dry. Step on the rear makes an easy climb onto the bed. The only thing I think I want to do is rhino line the diamond plate deck and below the headache rack - as if you put anything on the flatbed the paint comes off. You can also purchase short side panels.

It looks good on your truck. I've got a SRW so not sure how it'll look. Seems like it would give me a lot more versatility for hauling stuff around. I've got a bumper pull skidsteer trailer with a 20' deck, and most days it seems there's not enough room for everything. Also kind of considering this big ol 28' flatbed gooseneck trailer, a lot like the one in your pics. The only thing is though I couldn't really keep anything on the bed of the truck with a 5th wheel hitch.

No direct experience with their flatbeds, but I have one of their trailers. And it's a great trailer. Been towed MANY miles in the past year and a half (around 60k), and no real problems.

You see a lot of their stuff around here, since it is made fairly close by, everyone that uses it loves it.
