Post Need some weight in back

My C500 has no bed and no weight in rear, therefore no traction. I'm looking for a flat work bed, perhaps a car hauler. The frame is 14 feet from back of cab.

Thx, Rich

Hey, that's a SHARP truck!! I have a 48 coe, but it's in a million pieces in my barn and I don't think I'll ever get it done.

That would make a great dovetail car hauler. You'd need a minimum of 17' bed length - looks doable with that truck.

The ultimate bed for that truck would be an aluminum rollback bed off a later model one ton. That would be costly though, and your larger diameter wheels may cause complications.

Thats a really nice truck. I agree with marc9000 it would look really cool as a car hauler.
