New flatbed scheduled!

Picked up a new to me 2015 F350 supercab short.

Box is dented up, but got a flatbed going on Friday

Pretty stoked






I like work trucks.

Been looking for another since someone slid across and took out a 2011 Ranger. Not much out there to be had. Got this one for 14,900 with 96,000 on it.

I bet I called on 6 other trucks over the past few months, all gone before I got there.

AND I can't afford new, wow things got high.

Is that a highway dept service truck or company owned service truck? What state is that in?

It was a lawn care snow plow truck

It is now a steel contractors truck (doesnt pay to have the trucks too nice, steel is a greasy work)

I am in Minnesota

I will post some pics

They will look 😎

He had some cheaper ones too

Charges 600 for install and 50 for mudflaps

Seems like he is a high volume place, switches them out in 4 hours same day while you wait

One of our guys drove 3 hours there today, they put it on in 2 hours (including removing old bed) and drove 3 hours back. Looks sweet.

I recommend them flatbed men.

Yah, if you spend money like that it's got to be working.

Here are our other flatbeds loads set for Monday






And here is why we needed a flatbed on this 350, just not quite enough room in a shortbox




But a shortbox flatbed fits great, and handy for turning around
