    I was wondering if anyone has ever put a flatbed on a 61 and what it looked like. I didn't really want to do it until the cost of bed repairs came to the $900 mark and the hard time of finding a replacement ended in failure.

    i put a flatbed on my 62 3/4 ton 4x4 dually and it looks pretty decent. i like it. i'm going to do some more work to it. but i also built my flatbed.its 7ft 4inch x8ft. when i built it its was 9ft x8ft but i shortened it up a bit so that it didn't stick very far past the frame where some one had cut the frame off.

    My biggest concern with a flatbed is the overhang past the cab corners on a pre-made one. With the steel prices the way they are I was hoping to find one that would be to the standards of what I want. It's looking more like a building project. Thanks for the help.
