I’m happy with it, it’s basic but seems well-made and pretty strong. I liked the look of the skirted models better, but the built-in toolboxes were tiny. The plain flatbed with 2 larger boxes works better for my needs.

I’m still debating whether to keep the factory bed or not- By the time I trade this truck, it’ll have so many miles that a pristine pickup box won’t matter too much. On the other hand, it might be nice to keep this flatbed with my customizations for my next Ford and not have to buy another one! The best option would be to sell the pickup box now for like $5k... but that’s not looking very likely

Yes, the skirted models look better...most of the time. I really like the box you have mounted under there. I hate seeing huge sections of bare frame and brackets.

I also have a SRW...which looks odd with flatbeds IMO...so I would want to convert to DRW.

I actually might build my own. I'm going to make one for my '96 anyways.
