Custom-Built Flatbeds For Pickups
 ✖  |
Over the years I've custom-built several different flatbeds for pickups in my shop. The one shown is mounted on a 1978 Chevrolet shortbed pickup and is 7 ft. long with a headache rack on front. It's made from 1/8-in. thick diamond steel plate and is mounted on 3-in. channel iron stringers. It has a built-in receiver hitch and a fifth wheel hitch at the center that's covered by a hinged trap door which folds down flat. I sold this model for $700. I think comparable commercial ones would sell for at least $1,000. (Steve Forseth, 1441 S. Second Rd. S.W., Fairfield, Montana 59436 ph 406 467-2074; E-mail: kforseth@3rivers.net).
