Obs flatbed pic thread

Well I've been thinking on it for a while now and I think I've reached the conclusion that I want a flatbed. So before I spend the money I'd like to see what some others look like. Preferably crewcab srw trucks but any obs flatbed will help.

Tyler (TyBragg) has a nice new, aluminum one with some under deck boxes on his. If he can post some pics, that will give you a good idea what it will look like. His is a CC SRW truck too...

I've got some pictures somewhere, I just don't like posting other people's stuff without their permission. Maybe send him a PM and see if he can put some up here.

If your running 38s theyed have to be 15.50s right? I want the micky Thompson 36x15.50. How wide is your bed and do you have spacers on the rear?

That's a bunch of nice looking beds! I found a good site online, that sells 14GA diamond plate for pretty cheap. I think once I pick up a welder, I'm going to try and build my own for a 3rd of the cost. That's on the back burner now, but it's definitely something I'm looking into!
