Note that they’re mounted 1” in from the end of the drawer supports.

Measure the truck’s width and use that to cut the 2×6 pieces. After removing the old truck bed, gather the wood pieces for the wooden bed and the hardware. Cut the wood to size the outer width of the truck and assemble the base of the bed.

Use galvanized steel washer and square bolts to attach the pieces to the truck. Now, burn and stain the wood pieces used for the actual bed. Our solution to these short comings is a structural fiberglass bed. This bed system allows loading and unloading from both sides and the rear. There are no wheel wells so you have a larger payload area. The flat bed body is framed with strong FRP square tubing.

One major benefit of FRP is that our bed weighs less than 450 lbs. The weight reduction of our bed allows for more payload living room ideas with light wood floors and better gas mileage. Section #3 was cut to provide easy access to the rear driver-side storage area and wheel-well.
