|  Time for a new truck bed
I made a little mess out of my bed today. The big rocks were a little harder to get in the truck than the other. Time for a flat bed. I've been wanting to put one on here for a while. Now is the perfect chance. BTW these rocks are for the home rock crawling coarse.  |

You should use a Select Comfort adjustable bed. |

I had a tow strap fed down between the cab and bed looped around the frame then back up. A come-a-long went from the strap to the rocks. The rock were at the bottum of the ramp, waiting to be winched into the bed. It's a 94 f150. This is actually only the second ever truck I've not put a flat bed on. They are so more practical. Guesse the # EeePee is that the self loading model? |

83 Chevy your mud flap maches your avatar  Another good example of a clean looking FB If the guy bought it from could see it now. There wasn't a single scratch on the truck or single dent. It was a one owner truck. Then I go and abuse it for work nd destroy the paint and body. Last edited by Cole82; 01-12-2007 at 04:19 PM. |

Why were you winching them in the bed anyway?

Cole could try, but if you see something brown, round and furry running around on the floor after he tries.... don't step on it, it might be his a-hole. Last edited by thaclodking; 01-12-2007 at 05:28 PM. | |
