Too beautiful to use ( abuse! ) with S/H mixes!
Between the gleaming steel and big pink elephant no one's gonna remember the contact info, lol.

It's aluminum all bolted together not one weld. If something happens I just call them and they send me the part and I can replace the part without going to a welder.

We had a custom flatbed built for our F250.

I already am planning the next couple revisions but the fact the sides drop down is worth it's weight in gold for us.

It also protects the wrap work

Dave that is a beautiful custom bed.

Now, all you have to do is keep it shiny.

That is not so easy.

I even coated mine with Adsi AO95 and it did not hold up to the SH

But it makes us money.

I love the graphics too, I remember when you first wrapped a vehicle with Pinky

Fantastic branding!

David,

Since I'm visually challenge...is that a newer truck 2500 or your 1500 series?

It is a 3500 2006
Steve the SH marks I can get rid of it is the deck stains that is a pain. I installed air bags to lift it a little.

How has this bed held up over the years?

Pinky · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Great! Not as shiny. Need to clean & buff the aluminum to remove the SH stains.

Eric R&W has them on RT 109. 6' has to be ordered. I like the Martin bed out of PA They are custom and fit rite on the truck. No welding. I'm hoping to go Flatbed and a Wrap this Fall

I like the fact that I can take it in and out of my truck when I want to plus there is room to spare on the side's

That setup has changed over the years. The skids work fine. I just had to get heaver ones
