I have seen 3 diffrent trucks that people have taken the beds off of this week that are being driven around town. Is this just local to here or new, because I havent been it before, one was a new F150 with a new paintjob on it too. I dont get it, Im going to get the mpg of a truck, and the space of a compact car for storing stuff by doing it |

As far as the one with a fresh paint job, 99% of the time its best to remove the bed and paint it seperately, and it also allows acess to the back of the cab of the truck. Usually, someone is in the process of painting, switching to a flat bed or switching the regular bed for a service body. Occasionally in Moab you will see trucks, SUV's and jeeps with chopped, bobbed or streamlined rear ends to eliminate rear approach angle and make it easier to climb around on the rocks. Sometimes the pickup beds are removed and replaced with narrowed and shortened flatbeds, often incorporating a roll bar, tool kit, tire and gas can racks. |
