Flat Bed Advice
Hey, lookin for some ideas on an "off-road" style flat bed. I own a 77 F250 short bed, but no bed, not a problem, i'll build a bed. I'm an engineering student and competent fabricator and excellent welder. I was just looking for some ideas and opinions. I'll design it on Solid Edge and then i'll post pictures up later. But for know i was wondering if anyone has done this and was willing to send me some info and advice. I want it to look something like this.
any ideas?
any ideas?

Is it for work, or mainly the "offroad look"? I was laying out one almost identical to the pictures, but didn't end up building it. If it was me, I would make the bed wide enough to fit in an ATV, and make a functional tailgate. To me, an old flareside tailgate would be pretty cool.
Other than that, it would be mainly personal taste.

I like how the horizontal bar is at the same level as the dent in the body. Somehow gives a little OEM feel. Don't know how practical that height level would be for the floor of the bed though.
