Ford Ranger Flatbed Build

[5083Guy]

Decided I wanted to build a Flatbed for my Ford Ranger. The old bed's front cross member was pretty rotted away. Figured I will get more use out of this on the farm. Was pretty easy going. Now to POR-15 the frame of the truck and paint the bed. Last will be the LED lights and Treated lumber.

Cool, Ive got a neighbor that has an older Toyota 2wd, 5 speed 4 banger he put a flat bed on.

He is a tree farmer and it is kind of like a little side by side for him with heat and air that he can also drive to town. He drives it every day I reckon as I rarely see him in his other vehicles.

Don't forget that POR-15 is NOT sunlight resistant, and will need a top coat of something.

Flat decks are the only WAY!
I backed up into a mobile home with my F250 and looking for flat deck ideas.

Have you thought of making it a dump bed

i made a flat bed for my chevy s10 a few years back, one was out of angle iron with a 2x4 wood deck (kinda like a deck on a house), the second was a dumping steel frame one. i have a video on it that may give you some ideas, check it out http://youtu.be/Iaug3Kd5ELA

No I have not, It would be very handy but its still just a ranger. Haha
