flat bed conversion - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Anyone know of any laws on converting a pickup bed to a flat bed?

Reg changes?

anyone had problems loading a rig on a flatbed and hauling it?

This would be on a F350 dually, and rig would weigh about 3k.

Oh yeah, in CA

i've converted a couple at work and they had to have the reg changed.Office manager takes care of the paperwork,so i really don't know the details.

66cjdean hauls his jeep on a flatbed,no probs with doing that.

Im actually looking at putting some 1x1 square tubing sides on it...Not sure yet though..

Dean has sides on his when he has his rig on the back. The sides are his ramps. Any other time I've seen his truck he didnt have the sides. Dont know about the registration thing though, Im gonna have to deal with it sometime down the road. I'm doing the same thing. Tony K's is just like Deans except his is a crew cab, as opposed to Deans extended cab. I got pics if you wanna see em. I think you could find them by searching under thier name easier though.

I would guess it at 10 feet.

His is a 2wd pickup and I dont think it uses ramps at all cuz the bed is so damn low and built just for his rig.

As for Deans, I know hes got like 102"WB on 38s(I think) so do the math.

GRW · 08-04-2003, 09:03 PM

So is there a picture of Grady's rig hauler that can be posted?
Or is there a web site that has a picture of it?
I have been thinking along the same lines.
That would allow me to pull a trailer along with it.

Thanks Gary
