flat bed or custom bed

i was wondering if anybody has a picture or pictures of a flatbed or a custom bed. I'm am making one this summer, and i have an idea of a layout, but things never look the same on paper as they do in life. So i was hoping for some idea, thanks in advance

I hate to be "that guy" but this is definitely a topic that can be searched...

there is also a huge thread over on pirate4x4.com that is referenced in a few threads here on yotatech

There are a ton of threads for flatbeds on here. As mentioned, do a search for "flatbed" or "flat bed" and you'll find tons. Also, search my username and you'll find a write-up of mine.

I didn't find that many threads on flat beds here at yotatech. You can't search pirate without being a sponsoring member (red star). I'm not a fan of pirates community, hence why I'm here. Though when you could search for free there was a lot of good info... but I think you get the same support and info HERE =)

anyways, I had a thread on flat beds last week find it here

https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116/2nd-gen-pickup-flat-beds-112191/

has link to flat bed thread @ pirate with lots of good pics and ideas.

im still toying with ideas for mine.

awsome, I'll post up some pics when i get mine done, granted it will not be for awhile, needs to warm up first, but i do feel a lot better about it now. I was worried it was going to look super goofy, but its all good now. Anyways, thanks a lot guys, and yeah, long week, i didn't even think to search the forums, i normally would have. Thanks again guys, oh yeah, i definitely found a bed thats looks almost exactly like what i had planned, sweet.

Flash319, I sincerely like your flatbed. It's clean. Did you consider having removable sides to it? In my state of Oregon, it's necessary to have mud flaps for public street use.
