Ok it's a 1993 F-150 with a dent in the side of the bed from hurricane Katrina.
The Motor is a 4.9 straight 6 with a 5 speed trans that usually whines in 123.. Probably my fault nobody ever said I was supposed to check the oil in the manual transmission.. It also has dual tanks with the ever loving Ford problem of gas pouring out the back tank when both tanks are full. Anyhow.. I am thinking of just pulling the bed off of this truck and making a flatbed for it.
Since metal is so high I thought we would do the treated lumber thing... 4x4 post running 6 foot wide side to side and then 2x12x8 or 10 ??? Treated planks for the floor.. And maybe some L Channel Metal down the sides and back to dress it up just a bit... Where it gets complaicted is the back .. I guess I could just use my old drawtite and hook it to the back if need be.
I am going to mount the whitco , 2 hose reels and a ladder and a tool box on the bed nothing else.. Then the little red trailer will carry a water tank..
I know I need a bigger truck but hey I am still paying Uncle Sam..
