I don't think anybody has. You can find the beds even the 12' versions if you continue to look hard for them. It would behoove you to keep watching craigslist and you can find one.

I got to jump back on the drawings. I've been pretty busy with work and home. Tanner, I haven't forgot the tire brace. It's just that I keep forgetting until I stumble across in my shop at which time I'm doing something else. I'll try getting it out to you some day soon.

No worries Bob. I think we should work on the specs for your drawing as well for the vertical wood pieces now that I have all those measurements.

You can do your own conversion of the measurements by multiplying the inch measurements by 25.4, to give you the calculations in mm.

You're welcome for the info. I'm happy I could help. But I'm not quite sure about the rest of your message. I'm in Washington state, USA, not Western Australia, which I know both use the same abbreviation, WA. Is there a "Kennewick" in Western Australia?

Hi Guys,

This seams to be a great threads for flatbeds with a lot of pictures to refer folks to.

I was paging through the "Body Parts Catalogue" the other day and came across this drawing that I have not seen on the site before. So I thought I'd scan and post it for you - don't know if it will help or not but here it is FYI"

Sure!

I'll need your email address though. Write to me at babbiebuddie@***.net

Also I don't know if yourealize it or not, but you can right click this one and do a "Save As" to your computer. It will save as a jpeg.

Whatever works best - let me know.

Bobj49F2:

I wanted to pass on a "Thank YOU" for posting the plans for the flatbed. I've downloaded them to see if I could find someone to build a bed using those plans. Well, I found someone who is willing to build the bed and he asked if I could obtain the original drawing files.

So, my question to you, may I have a copy of the original CAD files (or whatever you drew the plans in) to send to the gentleman who is going to build the bed?

thank you
David

I have the .dwg drawings on my web site:

http://www.fatfenderedtrucks.com/sca...plansver01.dwg

Right click on the above link and click on "Save Target As", you should be able to save the file to your hard drive.
