Very cool. More info on the bed?

 

[lostsheep]

the bed i bought used off the net. it was originally on a 88-98 truck so i had to fab some mounts for it and also i had the fenders widened to cover the big tires. around here logging is huge and these beds were designed for loggers who would normally demolish a normal truck bed during their normal daily work. its made entirely of plate steel and weighs probually close to 500-600lbs
