Yeah. My normal truck bed is going back on before a flatbed goes on it. The flatbed will be later down the road. The one I have just doesn't look good. It would be fine if I wanted to shorten my wheel base and chop the frame.. but... I don't want to do that. I will build a flatbed later for it. Either way the flatbed would have a headache rack kind of incorporated in it anyways, maybe part of a cage? Who knows. I have a nice idea floating around in my head.
Nice find Hoxiii, did it come with the winch??

Nah, winch was around from my last truck. But at the same yard there was an 80-86 with an obviously home made bumper with winch still attached, it would have been the same $30 but I didn't have the time to grab both.
Got a 4" lift for that truck from the same yard for $48+ tax.

Salt lake city pick n pull. lived in SLC two summers ago, got all kinds of stuff for great prices.
Part of it might have been I always made sure I got the same check out gal and talked real nice to her
The lift was sold to me as 4 suspension brackets at $7, 2 coil springs at $10, and the pitman arm just got tossed in. I might have brought her lunch the next time I was there

Lol. Around here all the guys at wrecking yards are missing teeth and smell kinda funny. :P
And the pick-a-part down the road has a BUNCH of Mexican guys.. its like a 10:1 mexican:white ratio.
(And its a pretty small yard.)
Its funny though, almost none of them speak english lol.

The OP said any pictures, not just ones you make yourself, so here is mine. I just put this on my 2005 Excursion today. Buckstop Classic bumper with extra 6" lights. Warn 16.5ti winch. The lights are Piaa ATP's and Piaa SMR's. Shackle points added front and rear. 1/4" thick center and 3/16 thick" wings. The rear bumper goes on tomorrow.
