Truck Bed Thoughts

[Eco 45]

I am sure I will get yelled at for not doing a build thread, but been a long process modifying a South African 45 Series truck into a 4 door. The South African trucks came with a different style bed than the 45's here, which I modified to fit in with the build. Now just trying to decide whether I should keep the South African bed or maybe do a flat bed of some sort. What do you think?

I like the idea of a tray for your rig make it look like it belongs there with your mods..

I don' think you could go wrong with the tray back but it looks really cool as is with the bed. Post some more pics. You did a really good job portioning the extended cab. Looks great!

Looks great 'as is' to me!

Great work on the cab, the rear doors are very slick


I say tray back or a funky cargo box of some sort

You should start a poll Scott!

I've never been fan of the beds made and installed on the 45s in South Africa. Think a flatbed with dropdown sides would look cool.

Im a fan of a a full rear door, extended chassis with a 5 ft bed, tray or styleside! Never really liked the rear door, wheelwell combo? Toyotona is my favorite combo, wait, Scott has that stashed away too!!! Talk about 45 hoarding!!!!

What can I say I have a weakness for 4 door trucks, which has now spread to 75 Series trucks! Oh and there may be some other weird manufactures I have also fallen victim too.

What about a land rover 130 rear tray with the forward part of the guard removed, and possibly narrowed to match the width of the cab
