Ton Flatbed (Finished pics)

Been working on this for a few evenings. Its a steel flatbed 113"X94" and it's going on a new cummins unit. Has a built in goose, mittered corners, and a nifty pull-out storage tray in the rails.
These pics are dark and crappy, hope to get better ones tommorrow when I flip it for the top half.

What ya'll think? Look like a Horse's ass? Anything you'd change?
 
Love the design. The drawer is cool. I'd like to see a close up of it from the rear with more detail of the drawer. The only thing I would add is more tool storage.

I'll try to post up better picks when it gets back from coating. I didn't add anymore storage into the bed due to cost, they're plans for a off-road fuel tank and top boxes to follow. I'd like to build another with fuller sides for side boxes and it be a true hauler bed. This was my first try at a flat bed.

I would have never known it was your first time. Haha.

I like the recessed taillight mount too. Nice touch. It's the little things that really set it off.
 
Thanks, I've built all kinds of different things and worked on all sorts of different equipment. I've built a real basic bed from aluminum at work a few times. I've never done one from a personal design, AutoCadLt helped me on this to nail down alot of unkowns. I've always had to reverse engineer or work with known figures and make things fit. I hope I made it functional and nice to look at. I know its not a sports car but I don't like things to look plain.
 
It looks a lot lower than most I have seen, that's the part I like best. I also dig the protected lights in the rear. What's the intended use?

I got a Ranger?????
I was intending to buy parts for that project after this one gets finished up, but I invested in more tooling. I promised myself I wasn't going to do that again until I worked out a better work environment.

The deck measures 39 inches off the ground and the rear reciever is 19-20 inches off the ground. Its for a grading contractor who also farms small grain, produce and chickens. He has a service bodied rig already so this one's supposed to be a multipurpose catch all. He was real specific on the goose, and tag hitches. The goose gets a 30K lbs ball and the mount is 25lb per ft. channel with a 1/2 plate and box reinforcements on the bottom. The total width at the shank is 7/8. He's one them if it will move I'll pull it type, stopping is just an option.
 
It's brand spanking new cab/chasis and it has been in my yard longer than his-powdercoater is taking his sweet time. :confused: I'm for sure he isn't looking to sell.

what would you charge to do me a bed like that?

PM me a phone number and we can talk, I don't have a vender "stamp" so I have to be careful not to abuse the rules. I also do not do this full time as a means of standalone income. Which basically means I choose what I take on and if your patient you get good results.
