    I’m wanted to flatbed my 4 door taco. Thought about building it myself but don’t have the time. Where could I get built or installed at. Located in Florida

    Try the regional formum for a local recommendation.

    But there should be a ton of fabrication shops around.

    Flat bed looks great, using that as inspiration when my box rusts out

    I built this one for my Dad's rust bucket 95. I cut the bottom half of the bedsides down and attached them to some small braces.
    I downsized the ladder racks that came off an old F150(freebies!).
    The tops of the fenders are strong enough to stand on and are covered with some old stainless steel I had laying around.
    Materials I probably have around $250 in it. I already had the white 3 x 3 I used for the main rails. I bought some tubing, the 4 x 8 sheet of 1/8" plate for the bed (cut off 2 feet), bought LED taillights.
    BTW, the bed slides out for easy access to brake lines, fuel tank, etc. Works out well.
    He loves it.
