Flatbeds????

Alright ... I need some help... I have a 2000 F250 Lariat Crew Cab Short Bed with a 7.3L.... I also have a B&W turnover hitch.... I had a tree fall on the bed from a storm a about 2 months ago...

The shop working on the truck can't find a good complete regular bed... and the ones they found are not cheap...

I called B&W to ask about their flatbeds... I was told that if I buy one of them I have to remove my B&W hitch because there beds come with them installed... I thought this odd that I couldn't order a flatbed that could work with my hitch I already have.

So I am in Indiana..... were in the heck can I find a good person or company in my area that builds flatbeds for a truck like mine... I'm willing to spend up to $3,000... As long as it is painted and ready to go.

Regards, Madog

How much does a B&W flat bed cost?
Why not sell your hitch after the bed is installed to help defray the cost?

Well it was quoted as $4600 for a B&W flatbed... That is high to me..since there isn't a lot of fancy fabrication to those beds.

I see online were some beds go for around $2400 ... I guess I need to find one of those kind that will match up with my B&W hitch.... that is way cheaper than going with of their beds.

Check out these beds. I have a couple of friends that have one and really like them. They also list the B&W hitch as an option, so it might work with yours.
