re doing my 07 f150. upgrading the exhaust system headers back, fuel system(bigger fuel pump) trying to figure out what injectors to go with, cold air intake. 6 inch lift(rough country) i want to put a flat bed on her found one i like but cant find who sells it if anyone knows who sells it let me know lol attach a picture of it.

i figured this is my daily driver now, trans am on the back burner( frame off resto) in the ner future lost interest in her for now.

a flat bed on an f150 seems counter productive with a 6in lift, its gonna be a pita to get anything on it, not to mention its an f150 not 250or350 so the frame and everything isnt built for taking a load like that

not that its too heavy, what are you gonna use it for? you just want it too look cool, or actually use it? if you wanted to use it i would say it would be good for light duty stuff but again with a 6in lift you would only be able to lift lighter things up there.

would you be making it yourself or buying one? from what ive seen they are quite expensive if were to buy one, to me if you werent gonna be using it to make money with it, it would be a huge investment for nothing in return.

I've seen cases with older trucks where the bed is too beat-up/rusty and a flatbed was built, but I've never seen one on a truck this new. If you really want to go that route, building from scratch is probably the way to go. It seems tacky to me though, sort-of like exhaust stacks on a gas truck or lifting a 2wd truck.

What engine does it have? It seems like most of the Ford guys like to go with a supercharger to make power. I don't think there's much to be had in an exhaust system/fuel system upgrades on an otherwise stock engine. Exhaust systems aren't as restrictive as they were 20 years ago.

If the flat bed doesn't have some hydraulic rams to make it do awesome things, its pretty beat.

The weight of the flatbed alone will probably max out your 1000 lb payload capacity.

1/2 plywood with sheet metal screws to frame, won't weigh much at all

700 pounds..So u can put about 300 lbs in it.
2 people or

Payload is over 3000lbs. 8' flat bed is 639lbs. according to the link you provided. Subtract ~300lbs for the original bed and you are talking 339lbs added weight. Lowering the payload to 2700lbs. Your logic is unsound and very flawed!

You just want to laugh at flat bed pictures :rofl:

Not if it's aluminum.

1000 is low, 3000 is high.... Average payload capacity is around 1700lbs, give or take, more only if you have the Payload Package.
