I think a nice aluminum flat bed would look good, anyone got pics of a regular cab 1st gen with one? Mine is two wheel drive, so I don't know if it would look right, would it? Pics would be appreciated.

Thanks

I didn't even think about weight issues, if there would be any. Hmm, maybe a steel flat bed how would that be in the snow, and ice

 

i have pics of one with a steel flatbed but not a aluminum one. alot of people underestimate how light an aluminum bed really is. i like steels ones because the extra weight helps out for tracktion is you live in wet or muddy areas

 

I agree with ya, flatbeds can look good if done right, I have a 1998 Chevy 3500HD 454 Crew Cab farm truck that I pull the wifes horses with, It is the long wheelbase 84CA and has an 11' steel bed with recessed gooseneck hitch and headache rack ( Hillsboro brand ) I added a custom tube/drop bumper to the rear with reciever hitch, all LED lights, I still need to cover the gap between the frame and bedrails to finish it, but it looks really good right now I'll try to get some pics of it and put'em out here soon.

 

So would my little ole regular cab, 2 wheel not look good with a flat bed, alum. or steel?

 

well the only difference really in looks for aluminum or steel is really just the color. structurally looks wise you can make them look identical. i think it would look just fine if done right. especially if it was a dually

 

mine is in 01 2 wheel drive steel flat bed reg cab well ex cab frame my bed is a 8X12
