nice bet you could sell a few of them! how much does it weigh?

 

[Wiredawg]

How about a group purchase?

that looks fantastic... when can we start sending our orders? Seriously, do you have plans with dimensions you could share?

Slick as snot man. That looks better then alot of the aftermarket stahl+redding I see running around!

 

[BMcGuffie]

yeh, i could share, but i wouldnt recommend building one... !!!, it took me 4 months of nights and weekends, not fun, alot of grinding and polishing, the headache rack alone is 12 pieces of individual plate with over 40 feet of TIG welds, try if you want, just be prepared to spend a whole lot of time and a little money, but it saved me a little, custom beds are very pricey, it weighs about 1200lbs w/ all of the tools and air compressor on it, i think... . but its exactly how i wanted it, and i'm gonna keep it forever, i just hope nobody decides to run into it in traffic... . I plan on opening a truck outfitting company one day, just not anytime in the near future...

wanted to show the compressor tanks under the deck and the gooseneck hitch...

YOU ARE A TRUE CRAFTSMAN. question though why no mud flaps i wouldnt want mud flying all around that flawless paint?

 

[MMeier]

That thing is gorgeous, if I ever get back down that way just may have to check it out! Only thing I may have done different( for my application) would've been to keep the rear fenders flat at the bottom, instead of turning them up, and of course some HD flaps to keep debris off the customers cars and trailers I haul all over heck and creation!

 

[BMcGuffie]

the stock reciever hitch is still on there, and the bed is bolted on in the rear using the reciever hitch holes, just had to buy 1 longer bolt for each side, as for mudflaps, i've ripped way too many off working off road, i've considered it, might do it one day, but i guess i need to buy plenty of touch up paint, but the bed's gonna get beat up a little working out of it, after all i am a demolition contractor, just as long as i can keep it from gettin dented... hopefully the CRAPPY LINE-X JOB will hold up to throwing heavy equipment parts around on it... already starting to peel

I am not a big fan of utility beds, but that is some really fine work on a great looking bed.

 

[MCrossley]

looks really good I hope you have all those lights as LED Need a traffic director or 2 hehe j/k looks great!

 

[BMcGuffie]

oh yeah, they're all grote l. e. d. 's, extremely bright, the 2 amber and 2 clear 2x6 lights are sealed 90 watt strobes, and the round are reverse lights, the 2 oval lights down low on the headache rack are Hella dual beam flood lights, and they will blind you... as well the strobes, you can really see it when we have to follow our equipment up and down the road and block traffic to unload... we do a lot of highway work...
