I've seen an 04-08 F150 with a flatbed around here several times. If I see it again I'll get a pic.

Idk where your from that makes flatbed rednecky but around here they arnt. Would I put 1 on an f150? Probably not. But about 25% of the 3/4 and ton truck here in southwest virginia has them. They are great and very convenient for farm trucks though.

Even when I had a POS truck with a rotted out bed that was bouncing up and down from being rotted I didnt make the truck a flatbed. I put a different bed on it.
I get 5 times the function out of my 07 scab than most all of the folks with the PRETTY *** trucks and plenty of babes too.
Goose necks to rednecks I can haul it all!!!

bling bling wheels on a hillbilly truck? Really?

Seem like you shouldve gotten a 1 ton truck. Atleast it would look ok with a flatbed and it would be better suited for gooseneck/5th wheel towing than a 1/2 ton.

I agree with you. That is the reason I bought mine with the bed already on it. I added rims and grill guard and soooo much more. I have yet to hear that it is ugly. Some weird looks some times but I love it.

Its strange and seems very odd but if it works for you thats awesome.

Back in the 90s when all fords looked the same people ran flat beds on f150s all the time. And hell these f150s can tow as much as 7.3 and some 6.0 diesels.

I really not bashing, just funning. As for the wheels, when I have to go to work I have some cool duty rated rims and all.
It only takes a second to swap them out. It came stock with the xlt chrome 18s and I just wanted something that no one had so I chose the Mazzis.
