Amen, brother! That sure looks good. My F150 is shuddering just thinking about the weight of that bed.

There was a flatbed that was destroyed. I reconstructed from the main rails up

the only pics i have handy of mine are heavily loaded, but here they are http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39418460/Pic...908_145910.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39418460/Pic...911_162820.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39418460/Pic...203_131848.jpg
thats an 8x7 foot bed on a light duty F250. 4" channel around the outside and 3" crossmembers. it was built to have a dump unit installed someday, but someday hasn't come yet.
if i were to do it again, it would be on a dually. the truck tips the scales at 5800 with a full tank of fuel, driver, and spare tires. that means i can only carry one pallet load of blocks before i overload my tires
