Flat beds
Just wanting to see what some have home built. Thinking of making an aluminum one myself.

I like flatbeds as well.
Saw this truck at a car show last weekend.
Sorry, but that was the only pic I got of it. The bed was framed out of steel, with a sheet of aluminum for the floor. It was attached with counter sunk stainless allen heads.
I've thought about putting an aluminum bed on one of the 1st gens. If I do it will be bought though. I like the Moritz beds.

Rebuilt a Badger Flatbed, recessed Crossmembers & Stringers, narrowed it to fit SRW, made rear light panel, added the rub rails and stack pockets on rear,12k scissor hoist. The hoist back hinge is in front of a frame mounted gooseneck hitch etc..plan on adding a access trap door into the flatbed. I cut the factory frame crosss members out and redid them so the hoist sits lower. Also fabricated a fuel tank outta heavy steel with trap doors etc..., Recessed the front head ache rack to fit a 5" single stack. kept same profile from rearview and side etc..truck has drop in wood sides and is off the road currently.
Thanks,
Deo

The two tone is my current truck, 97 12v. It's the same machine on both trucks, 69 red face with a pc board, distributer, and the whole 9 yards. The face plate color just blew off in the car wash recently and i just haven't bought another. I need to dig around and find some pics of the other 12 beds i've built in the last 3 years, all on either 2nd gen or 3rd gen dodges.

Some beds i use a pipe quarter, this bed i had 3/16 plate rolled into a 20" radius, and then cut the quarters out for the back corners and 10" radius for the front corners, step up corner, and tool box front corner. This bed i also had the back and the 2 top pieces cut out by a water jet. The cuts were perfect and the $350 that cost me was worth every penny since it saved me like 2 days of torch work, and lots of grinding. I was able to thow this bed together in 4 days, but everything all added up I have around $4k in it, not exactly cheap.

They both make some very nice beds. The Moritz bed is a close copy of the Hillsboro, but not exact. The extrusions run cross ways on the Moritz, but lengthwise on the Hillsboro. Other small details are different as well. I've got a friend that just put a Moritz on his chassis cab and I'm jealous.
