I have a bunch of ideas of what i want to build.Its a bonus not having to worry about clearing fender wells with big tires having the deck.Wish i could have kept my box but it was far gone.Man thought there would have been so pics seems there is alot of great builders here.

Not my truck used to see it everyday around here though, but thought it was an awesome flatbed, 68-69 F250

Not sure how, or if you can post vids on FTE but here's a link

YouTube - Mud Days 2007

skip to 2:14, and 2:48 or watch whole vid
Dovetailed, integrated toolbox, in the vid it looks like he has rubber fender flares, but I remember him putting sheet metal flat fenders on it
