Dont you think a 200-300 dollar bed would still be rusty? Theyre getting harder to find everyday

Nothing rusts here, not very much anyways. Mine is a little rusty because my truck came from Jersey.

Yep, I've been looking for one for mine, longbed, but since mine still holds whatever I put in it I have better things to spend my money on. But yeah around $200-$300 for a rust free one if you're patient.

Wow thats worth the trip down there to get. I mean heck if you painted the one side of your truck and got a new bed i bet it'd look great!

When I retire my truck from work, it's going to look nice. Its reward for years of hard work.

All the haters can hate as much as they want I love my wood flat bed its strong and it gets the job done better than my old bed.

A wood bed is slightly lighter than the original cost me 150 for wood and 30 bucks for stain and polyurethane coating.
Chicks dig wood... Hardly gay haha...
