Wanted Flatbed/Ute bed for my SWB

[COkampy]

Hey! Just figured I'd put it out there and see if anyone has anything or knows of someone who might. Im wanting to take the stock bed off of my 1963 FJ45 SWB, so that I can get the rust issues taken care of, as I have money and time... Was hoping to find someone who may have a tray-back / ute style bed or something, that I could buy and use in the mean time. My friend runs the fabrication shop at our work, so I have the means to modify and adapt something a bit if something comes along. Located near Denver! Thanks guys

Have you thought of contacting Ute Ltd?

Welcome to Ute Ltd - Manufacturers of Tough Aluminum Pick-up Truck Beds

I don't have first hand experience with their product, but I contacted them recently about a bed for a Toyota pickup and it sounded like they can get beds to fit just about anything. You could probably get something that is close for your SWB by giving them measurements and if you were willing to do a little fabricating.

Good luck!

Nine times out of ten any ute tray will do - it's just the mounting points that vary. Might be a bit thin on the ground over there though. If you're happy with a flatbed type [no sides] then mitre some angle iron, blaze it together, drop in timber boards and bolt in on the frame.
