I like to use photobucket. Upload the photos the their site, copy the img code and just paste it here. Super easy and not to mention all your images are backed up in case your computer goes south.

I built the truck from the ground up and purchased the aluminum flat bed at a local equipment place they knocked $300 off the price because it had a dent in the rear panel. I priced out all the steel i would need plus my time. It wasnt worth making it. That whole bed is about 300 lbs very light.

I need to find me a deal like that! Luckily I get all the steel I want from work at a very reasonable price and I'm a welder by trade so making one is not difficult for me.

Looks good, I like it. Clean and simple!

Then I reckon we'll never see pictures of your truck.

Thanks for the comment. If you can get the steel cheap enough its worth it. This way you can make it exactly what you want. The aluminum bed is really nice but i think its too light for the springs i have in the rear. IT RIDES ROUGH!!

Question for you 2... Does it feel as if the front end and rear end are not working together properly? I have a problem with my truck where it seems as if the rear end is slipping out from under the truck at certain times, and I'm wondering if maybe my flatbed isn't too light.

I drove my 2wd supercab with no bed and I hit some rough stuff and bounced my passenger into the roof!
