    Many people have just google and you should find some build threads on here.

    I say do it. Flatbeds are badass and functional.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I'd like to see a custom flat bed with 3 thin sheet metal "floors" mounted to the main deck of the bed where the top sheet could pop up to become a roof then the other two sheets could flip up to become the sides of and basically unfold into a cab high or higher box is what I'd like to see. Do I even mention I'd like the box split to be able to slide to an overall width of 102"? I'm not sure how to do it but I wonder if someone like KBVOODOO ;) could figure it out. I'd love to see a completely new concept....toss the original equipment bed altogether

    Yes but on steroids. Longer by 2 or 3' and able to go wider.
