You know, I told Dugan and Towers that! They "corrected" it, but the customer turned back around.
It'll be correct when he rolls it....

I have a problem with 40s
That flat bed is art... nicely done!
Brilliant. Straight axle up front too? I dig it.

More to come on the flatbed, too. Dugan's working on adding a railing around the sides.

Builds - Picked up a Pickup
I didn't mean to. My 16-yr-old daughter forwarded me a link to an ugly '84 pickup... and well, what could it hurt to go look right? The truck looked like the goal was to hide its inherent value: Find the rustiest wheels, beat on the fenders and doors, hang some dumptruck bumpers, build a...

I knew that, but was just teasing @Manhattan
whoops... I guess I wasn't paying attention @BMThiker 
When I brought "Patty" into the shop, the plan for the bed was new wood. That's it... just replace the wood. Dugan suggested that maybe narrowing the flatbed 1.5" would make it fit better... and maybe boat-tailing the corners to help the departure angle... So, we started cutting it up. After a couple hours of cutting, Dugan says "I have an idea."

The spare tire mount is super trick.
It's totally for visibility... okay, it's mostly for visibility and sorta 'cause it just looked badass when we dropped it down 10". It did create another "hold my beer" moment when we realized the factory frame/bed mount would need to be relocated to clear the tire. Actually, it was more of a shoulder shrug.Clearly that guy can not be trusted.....

I’d have to add some stake pockets. You can’t have a flatbed without 2x6 sides!

Maybe some TREX board since this thing is so highbrow.

These cutouts were precisely measured and cut to accept your standard Wally World cargo tie-down hook. Insert through the opening, rotate 90* to engage center spoke.
I thought of that too. I appreciate the tie downs though.
I am always impressed with Dugan and the Crew's one offs. It is all art.
