Get the details, and see how you can lend a hand.

Starting bed

After looking at some after market beds, I decided to create one myself. I am going to be using 1/8 in. steel (because I need alot of weight in the rear) on the sides, front, and tailgate. My metal guy Greg, bent the side rails and sheared all pieces to my measurements which was great. For the rolled top is just 1in. tubing welded to the top and welds grinded down and ends capped.
