Something for the Flat Bed Lovers

Post by CACWBY »

Ran across this nice Bump Flat Bed at a Local Show last weekend.

My Truck was over with a couple other sissy trucks. Trying not to act scared of the real trucks.

I'd say he needs so long to haul an Ice Shanty but I doubt he drives during the winter.

Good day Trevor, thanks for putting those photos on here!

I like that truck a lot, and I especially like that it has a 360, since that's so classic. It also goes to show was a capable engine the 360 is.

I was surprised by how little information the show card had; I figured people at a car show would want to see all the details.

Don't those exhaust stacks look a little vulnerable to you guys? Doesn't it look like a loaded car could accidentally roll forward and crunch them?

Robroy, ever hear the term useful as tit's on a bull?

Seriously doubt the deck tilts, no winch, no tie downs, varnished deck and as you said vulnurable stacks. Add in lighting that would give a DOT man a hard on and we have us a show truck for sure. Looks real nice, just not too sure how usefull it is.

Too much rear overhang! It is in much better shape than mine, so I guess I should shut up.

NEVER! Your truck works and this one appears to be a trailer queen. Give me substance over glitz any day of the week, year or lifetime...every time.

It's "Pretty" like things from Hollywood are, but useless as so eloquently stated:
