wanting flatbed

I have a 96 f350 srw 4x4 with a 8ft bed in great shape for year, orginal good green paint color, new bed rails, b&w gooseneck. Like to see if anyone close to polk county fl has a 6ft wide and 8ft ranch style flatbed with gooseneck hitch that would want to trade.

Too bad you are not closer. Have an Aluminum flatbed from a Home Depot truck

BTW a flat bed will NOT have a gooseneck hitch, that is a separate piece

I have priced and drew up plans to build a custom flatbed, but dont have a place to store my factory bed. Rather trade someone and we both benefit from it. The steel flatbeds i seen most have gooseneck hitches.

All of our flat beds have the gooseneck hitch made as part of the bed, but I have seen some that just have an access door to the frame where the hitch is mounted direct to the frame. This would be a stronger design if you had a lightweight bed like an aluminum one or just a light steel one. All of ours are plenty heavy so take the stress of a hitch pulling a heavy trailer.

Bradford brand flatbeds. They are built like they belong on a battleship! The Hydrabed hydraulic haybeds have the hitch made on them too but I don't put them in the same category as a regular flat bed.
