    M818....I'm trying a new way to put a bed on it...

    I REALLY want to see this with some big tires on it! It looks like it is sitting really high up there with the stockers, but it might look about right with the 16's on it. Btw, Your mention of sag was another reason I plan on just running a straight piece of tube from front to rear. MUCH...

    M818....I'm trying a new way to put a bed on it...

    Ah well, if you have a nice brake like that, then you should be able to bend up a piece to make it look perfect! Weld it in, grind the welds, epoxy primer and paint, and you won't see it was cut! My rails are too rusted though, so I have to cut the entire length off each side, so it's no big...

    M818....I'm trying a new way to put a bed on it...

    I plan on cutting out the fenderwells like you have done, but I was just going to use that same metal for most of the filler metal. It IS the same shape and all ;) As for the outer rail, the bed I am using has a bit of rust on it, so I was going to just put an entirely NEW rail that goes from...

    Yes please on those pictures! I think that is the way I want to go, if they look as close as I think they will be. And definitely room for storage under there now, just time to be a little creative.....

    M818....I'm trying a new way to put a bed on it...

    Well, with 16r20 tires on there, that will not look AS out of place. Plus getting something to fill in the gaps will make it more appealing to the eye. That looks like it confirms my plan of using a second set of ramps put on upside down on the trailer to mate up with the ones on the truck. I...

    M818....I'm trying a new way to put a bed on it...

    Well, getting a deuce is a good thing, but having one of each, then expanding on that, that is so much better! Heck, I have a couple stock deuces, bobbed deuce, 818, etc. and I still want to do the bed conversion for my 818 (with a fairly quick change-up to still use my 5th wheel trailers.) And...

    What size tires on the truck? Big super singles will most likely hit on that setup. But, take pictures so we can see how it works for you! Always interesting to see another setup. Always something to learn from each way of doing it.

    A: 105 bed is a perfect fit for the back of a 818. B: The 5th wheel itself comes off VERY easy! C: a 5th wheel pin between the frame rails of the 105 trailer make for a strong setup... D: a second set of ramp mounted upside down to the 105 frame will brace the rear very well. E: racheting...
