It's hard to beat the looks of an Obs flatbed...single or duals. I've been thinking about this myself.

Personally, a flat bed is more versatile than a regular bed IMO. Some trucks just can't pull off the look. And you can always add sides if you are hauling something that can't be strapped down like bails of hay or a haul of logs.

And you don't have to deal with unsightly dents in the bed sides, and busted up dually fenders.

@Ford250

Where did you get the PTO for your dump bed? I know the ZF5 has a spot built in to accept one, just don't know if I would ever use it or not though!

Man those are nice looking trucks!! I think I would do one in a heartbeat if I could afford it. For my purposes, they are functional and I think they look really good....especially that aluminum one!

I agree that alluminum bed looks great. I normally don't like alluminum flat beds but on that truck it looks great.
