They sure are, like pulling a parachute down the road!

I bet the guy wanted to make a deposit but it ended up being a withdrawal to pay for the damage.

Glenn, i bet that guy died.

Bill, please dont. That screws with my head lol.

Yeah, the withdrawal was probably from his life insurance to pay the damage.


Congrats happy Daddy!!

I know Todd is gonna disagree, but your truck looks so much better with a bed on it rather than a flat bed! Lol

I change my avatar around constantly to keep things fresh. And because I change trucks every 6 months lol

Does anyone have a t-bolt for the v-band clamp on the downpipe? I was putting my downpipe on and dropped it behind the engine. I think the trans ate it because I sure cant find the dang thing. Ill prolly end up afroengineering something anyways lol

I like the looks of the regular bed, but miss the functionality of the flatbed. The wife and I had ice cream at the Dairy Queen in a small town close to me this evening. It is right beside a place that sells CM flatbeds. There was one of their nicest aluminum flat beds sitting right beside the picnic tables where we sat and ate our ice cream. I walked around that bed several times and it was nice. It was one with the lower sides and boxes built in it in front and behind the wheels on both sides. All LED lights and a goose neck hitch built in. I don't know the price, but I know it's probably higher than giraffe p***y! If I could afford one of those, I may go back to a flatbed, but for now, I like the looks of the dually bed.

I do agree they make some very nice looking flatbeds. Theres a few welding/oil field trucks running around here with ones that have tool boxes that hang below the frame of the truck, so it covers up the frame and all that stuff. It makes it look a little more like a truck bed. But of course nice things cost a nice bit of money

I also was contemplating on whether to install a flatbed or regular truck bed, obviously the truck bed won. When it was on the fleet it had an open sided flatbed but If I went flat bed I would of gone with one of the CM flatbed guilt dressed beds, they look mean specially the ones for the srw trucks.

I'm with you on this. Something about a beautiful aluminum flatbed.
