So my son and I have a 89 F350 cclb 4x4 and we hang out with a group of guys that we go wheeling with. (blazers, broncos, jeeps, ect ) we are the only one with a aircraft carrier for a truck so we can't go some of the places they go but we thought we would build our truck in a chase truck put a winch on the front and maybe the back and a service bed with a small air compressor, tools, block and tackle, work lights....

my question is we are looking for a service bed with high departure angle. does anyone know were we could fine a used one or have plans for a bed kinda like this?

 

Hahaha
You ain't driving it right. LoL.
My extended cab longbed was hefty and long, but I had no mercy in wrecking stuff.
You'll definatly have fun with it. I'd stick with a regular flatbed with side boxes and a cross box. Then you can outfit a rugged lower side box in front of rear wheel and flush with cab bottom. You don't want a service body. They are expensive and no one likes to see a grown man cry when it gets smashed in.

 

yea we were think about that too. plus we may need to carrier 4 wheeler(atv's) also and a flat bed would be better for that.

 

One of the off road magazines built/had a bed built for a chase truck.
It had all the gear needed to support the race truck.
Try a google search.
I am sure they can provide plans for you.

 

Here it is.

1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins Turbo Diesel - Chase Bed - Four Wheeler Magazine

 

Not bad got some ideas from it.

 

yep looks like we are going to have to build our own bed. after reading some good articles of off road bed there are some good ideas out there.

 

Make sure you create a build thread with
Plenty of photos.

Keep us posted.

 

it will be a little while going in the hospital Thursday to have tumor removed from my lower back. I guess I can work on the plans while I recover.
