[Mr Lock Down]

Hey it's me again told you i would be back.My question has anyone here on the board replaced the bed on a J-truck with a flatbed?My bed is totaly wasted and i was thinking about firing up the old welder and using 3 inch square tubing to make the frame and diamond plate to make the floor.Any comments?

Welcome!!! Youve found the right place for FSJ's!! My truck has a flatbed I wish I could get you some pics of it but its crammed into my garage under parts of many trucks. It came with it when I bought it very nice job too. It is a full 8' long and 6' wide. Its constructed from steel channel. If you make one you need to raise it up enough that it clears the wheels good. Also I replaced the very back crossmember behind the bumper on the jeep frame with angle iron. The stock one is very thin and riveted on, not a very good base for a flatbed.
