Wondering if anyone had ever set up a utility body truck with a gooseneck? I rarly ever haul anything in the bed of my truck other than straps chains and binders and a chain saw so I was thinking a utility bed might be a good idea for storage reasons. Wondering if anyone had run a setup like this with a gooseneck trailer?
Pictures would be even better
Thanks Evan

 

A high sided utility bed wont work but something like this would be nice...

 

I had a feeling that they might sit to high wonder if they make any inbetween those two hights?

I had my GN built with taller risers to accommodate the installation of a utility bed on my 2500. I'm 6'1" and just barely bump my head walking under it. Unfortunately I replaced the truck with a 3500 before buying the utility bed so no hard info here. Here's a pic to give you an idea of the clearance on the 3500.

 

I did a little digging around on the internet and came to a certainly unscientific conclusion.... it appears that most of the "gooseneck" capable beds are low profile or flatbeds where if you search around for a "5th wheel" bed there are a lot of them with tons of cabinet space on this sides and top..... I would believe this is because most goosenecks hook up lower than 5th wheels and the plate mounts directly to the top of the body..... Depending on your application that might work alright for you...

 

Yea I couldnt come up with anything either I do like the clearance on that gooseneck to bad I allready have my trailer and was trying to work with the truck to make it work. Maybe I can build my own flat bed with built in boxes

Remember something about gn hitches, most attach through th bed to the frame rails. I have a B&W. It bolts to the frame rails. Now that Dodge is making the rear frame rails level across the top, I think you could use the B&W with a utility bed. You'll have to cut a hole in the bottom and build a box around it to keep the junk out but it should work. There is also a remote mounted RV type, 7 pin, no splice wiring harness available now.

I know you want to work with what you have but you could get taller risers put in the frame without too much trouble.
