Do you find the drive challenging with no outside mirrors?

Man, that's looking great!
What type of wood did you use for the bed?
Do you have any more pictures of the construction of your bed? I need to start planning out my wood flatbed and yours looks really good.

Hey Joe,

Pressure treated 4X lumber underneath and Redwood 2X6's and 2X8 from Lowes for the deck and sides. Go to my photo albums as there are about 10 pics from last fall when I built it. The redwood made it a bit pricier than I had intended but I'm hoping it holds up better in the long run.

Cheers
