Happy Birthday to me.

Or any good looking flat bed.

Yep. Since the kid wiped out the bed, I might as well convert this toy to a dually flat bed with dump.
I have the hyd lift sitting on a pallet that was going to go onto another truck but plans have changed.
Not desiring an UGLY truck, I still have to do the cab white pearl paint, I am looking for a pic of how not to make an ugly flatbed.
Money?
Yeah. Ran out'a that some time ago,

I bought a parts truck for the flatbed. Then transplanted and modified to fit properly.

Oh yeah, I hit 66 mark and now starting 67.
Cute truck in the last pic. Wood sides might be an option.
Stained and Varathaned.

Fwiw, it is a 9x7' deck. It has turned out to be a very ideal size. 10' stuff fits diagonally. Can also fit four std 40x48" pallets.

An 8' wide deck would be annoying for the narrow & winding roads around here.

Just cause I'm curious, what do you load onto your pickup that is palletized that you can also fit 4 of them? Stuff I buy or used to buy by the pallet was about 2k per, can't have more than one of those. Cool setup though. 7' wide is great for all things practical. Twisty, narrow roads fits that bill, I like your thinking!

4 pallets is a purely academic statement - it fits!

Being able to buy/pickup four empty IBC totes is handy. I too have hauled one pallet weighing 2tons (roofing) and that was enough!
