new bed for the 45

[capt.rick]

so I decided i needed some storage and this is what i came up with, any opinions on what to strengthen the floor would great, need to cut out for the tires next

DAMN that looks GREAT!!!!
I wish I could do that kind of work!!!!

What's the bed FRAME look like?

 

[green40]

Looks good! How long is the bed going to be?

Looks good! How long is the bed going to be?

Judging by the floor tiles, I'm guessing 42"

Nice work!

I was looking at the photo bucket and I assume that is a 40 frame with the leafs set back further am I correct , the rig looks good and the bucket will add to the look of it.

the bed is 36" long x65" wide

I thought you sold those tires? I want the rims?

 

[capt.rick]

I decided to put some reinforcement along the top edge to stiffen it up

I'm really liking where you are going with your rig! I'm planning on going the same way with my 40 but using
63" chevy's and doing a short tube bed like the AllPro bed for the mini's.
When you going to come up to NH and wheel with us? Have some pretty good trails you would like!

X5 or 6 on the work!
That looks friggin amazing. That is some real talent you have with the sheet metal my friend. I WISH I could do that kind of work!
All I have is a cheap ass HF 36 in brake which is basically useless for anything thicker than 20 ga.

Nice job. That looks so much nicer than a 45 bed does.
