Flatbeds?

[jason51p]

Thinking about replacing my rotted out bed with a steel flatbed on my single cab. Anybody got some pics of trucks with flatbeds on them?

Not a single cab. If your going to buy a flatbed, buy a Bradford Built flatbed. They have tons of different styles and by far are the best flatbeds on the market. Hillsboro also makes a decent bed. I had one on a gas F250 that looked nice, but really plain.

Where you located man? I'll build ya a nice one, way cheaper than bradford. They're nice, but 2600ish without install is a big dent.

Old Style Bradford, headache rack isn't as nice, no clearance lights on top.

I think this is a winkel flatbed but not sure. Its been on that pickup a long time.


Out of all of the flatbeds we have had I wouldn't get anything but a bradford. The last one we bought was $1800. There easy to install and they take abuse very well. Our neighbor bought a cheap one recently and it looks like crap already. A lot of flatbeds are just painted. Bradfords are powdercoated. Id also recommend a ranchhand front bumper to go with it.

The bed I got I couldnt tell you the name of, it came with the truck and I had to cut lots of junk off, and reweld other stuff back on. I even had to recenter the louvers cause they were 2" off square.

Thanks. I love flatbeds. U can beat the crap out of them all week long but still take them too town saturday night and have a good looking pickup. They also are greating for pulling a trailer in my opinion. I live in the sandhills and you never have to worry about crushing a box side. Seen it happen at more than one branding. haha

Ya plus hauling anything is a million times easier, and like you said beat the crap out of them and still look good plus if it breaks weld it back on!
