I've seen my share of shotty flatbeds, I have a trailer maker near me, and I would like for him to make me a flatbed for my Ranger. So is there anyone with a flatbed, that looks good? I just need a General Ideal of what is needed in a flatbed.
Do I need a bar up front to protect the cab from damage?
How wide should I make it, the width of the cab, or a few inches wider?
Is it okay to use wood as the floor with a steel frame? If so what kind of extra protectant does the wood need?
What would be the best tail lights for the flatbed? Recessed into the flatbed frame or the "wart" type that bolts on?
I'll probably have more questions as this thread matures.
