Personally, it's just an itch I've had for a long time since my old '53 F250 I had back in the early 80's. Mine will end up being about 6' long and it is 6' wide. it's a toy, something to be "different". If I want to really haul anything substantial I have a pair of trailers for that, a 6'x8' landscape trailer and a 18' tilt-deck car trailer w/8k lb Warn winch, oh and a tow dolly. That aluminum decking I'm considering should lighten it up a bit though. And if I don't like it I can always put the bed back on it.
