    damn that looks long off the back end...
    length ? width ?

    I like flat beds...
    but only the type that work for off road business.

    looks like this has more bed... then these lite weight trucks can handle.

    what loads are you hauling ?

    long as yer happy... is all that matters

    Flaps may seem excessive now but wait till winter time..plus I think they look good for the flatbed application. Nice work!

    Yeah its 7 feet long and the same width as the outside of my box. I haul hounds around all the time and need to be able to put my dog box up there that is 48" wide. Its a little heavier than my box but i have new leafs and helper springs.
