Flatbed

I presently have a 12 RAM 3500 dually. Since I usually just pull a fifth wheel with it I was thinking of putting a flat deck on it. I was wondering if anyone is using a flat deck and your impressions with it. Is there any flat decks out there that have provisions for the back up camera and reverse sensors? I have not found any yet.

Thanks for any info/insight you can offer.

Cheers,
Steve

the fancier flatbeds have the set up for the camera and sensors. The plain cheap ones dont. I ran a flatbed for awhile on my 06 and sure do miss it...

There has been many nice flat beds posted on the forum just do a search on them. The only thing I don't like about a flat bed is hauling small loose stuff, here is what I did for the 5500 :

I have used flatbeds on almost all of my 7 CTD's over the years. They are just too good for working off of for most anything. I have used 5th wheels on them and even a goose neck conversion on one. I currently have one that I haul my Camper on and love the extra hauling space. I build all mine, about a third the cost of a factory unit and I can lay it out for my tools and all the stuff i want to wormk with. Go for it !
