[belowfire]

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.

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

[belowfire]

so what ure saying is the flat beds 2 heavy?

[redsoxsstink]

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.

[maroman88]

i certainly dont think that looks cool... better be a money making scheme

[belowfire]

all for looks love the look of flat beds

Hideous

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.

That looks like ****

[LTb1ow]

Meh, run a wooden bed

[redsoxsstink]

i agree i dont like the look unless this is your truck

or you are pulling a fifth wheel set up. if you arent using it for money i dont see any point to it

[LTb1ow]

Another vote for this


Next thing you know you could be running 50mph in reverse and towing tankers.

[redsoxsstink]

stacked gasser are teh lamest

[sweetbmxrider]

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.

[belowfire]

if its gonna max out my payload i aint gonna do it thought they where lighter then u guys are making them sound

[LTb1ow]

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
couple buckets of spackle or
8 or 9 sheets of sheetrock or
1 square of shingles

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

Not if it's aluminum.

[grazi]

Payload 3000 lbs on a F150?? I thought it was 1/2 ton?

Ahh, the surest way to finish a project, start a 2nd one.
