Time for a new truck bed

[Cole82]

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."thumbsup"

how did you manage that? never seen a bed fold like that with just a few rocks in there.

You should use a Select Comfort adjustable bed. "thumbsup"

What kind of truck is that?

 

['83 chevy]

yep flat beds are the way to go, dont need to worry about bashin git in on the trails. heres mine

its made completely of 3" channel and 3/8" plate. and the sides are rough milled Ash planks

 

[Cole82]

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?

 

[EeePee]

Yeah, it's got a loader, adjustable air springs, folds in half, all that good stuff.

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.

im gettin ready to put a fb on my old 88 chevy wheeler, that is if i can ever get the bed off. no torches makes things fun.

Why were you winching them in the bed anyway?

Do you think normal person could lift those?

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.

Why not?,there not big rocks.

 

[Cole82]

Why not?,there not big rocks.

8 rocks / 4050 = 504 some odd pounds.
Come over and do it. That weight includes the small rocks in the 8 count.
