Hillsboro Aluminum Flatbed for longbed truck - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Located in Northern california- El Dorado near sacramento. I have a Hillsboro brand aluminum flatbed. It is off a 96 chevy longbed dually truck. It is removed from the vehicle now so i can load it on a trailer or truck for someone. It is in nice condition and they retail for around $3500 new. It does have a little bit of damage shown in the picture at the right rear corner, but not anything real serious, if you wanted it perfect you could have the end diamond plate replaced, no structural damage. It measures 8.5 feet long and is 8 feet wide on the outside. It has removeable side peices that are in nice shape. It also has a cover in the middle of the bed that flips up to expose the good neck ball and has the mounting brackets for a 5th wheel hitch. I would like to get $1000 or best offer, hell its probably worth alot just in aluminum. If you have any questions feel free to call Ben at 530-306-(seven)682, thanks.

does it have a trailer hitch or is it short enough to work with the stock one?

any idea on weight?

it works with the stock trailer hitch. If you need that i could take it off the truck. And i don't know how much they weigh. I was able to pick up one side of the bed myself, but i don't hink two guys could carry it. It probably weighs close to the stock bed but with a lot more cargo space being 8' wide. I lifted it off with a tractor and can load it with the tractor. The goosneck hitch is part of the bed and the 5th wheel rails are part of the bed, there are stout metal plates that hook into the frame for the gooseneck hitch area.

I think $1000 is fair for this.
