CM truck beds, factory review and install aluminum flatbed 

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

Not yet on the backup lights, as I show in the video it's a AL-SK model. The bed is 4 inches taller than the floor of the stock bed. It has a 4 in channel frame on top of a 2 inch spacer on top of the hump. The gooseneck ball is one in lower than the floor, it ends up being the same height on the goose ball as the stock truck bed. Don't know about fuel tank options. I've just seen white, black and aluminum on colors. Call your local dealer and ask about color options.

Sure with a longer wheelbase, you can go 10 feet on a cab and chassis

@@MrTruckTV can you put a 10 foot bed on a 2005 f450 dually with a CA60?

No, it would hit the axle before it would hit the boxes

Yes, doing well. I did have to change one air bag out of 4. But it didn't wear out, we had the bag too close to an exhaust hanger. I use the dump feature alot when I hook up trailers every week. So the bags go full to empty each time I dump to back up to a trailer. Well after years of rubbing on the airbag when the air is out finally wore a hole. So I replaced the bag and ground down the exhaust bracket.

Thanks. I am negotiating on a 2018 Ram 3500 dually Aisin and not that impressed by the ride. Have purchased a 42 foot Open Range 3X that has a gross weight of 19K. I am also interested in their trailer air ride system. This will be our last purchase so we are not holding back.

I like Norstar. CM was lighter

@@MrTruckTV what was the total cost for it.. if you dont mind me asking

I took a full day to take off old bed, bumper hitches and install a new one. It took longer because we video's it

What are you talking about?

@@MrTruckTV sorry, just curious what all goes Into mounting a flat bed on a new cab and chassis.

@@scottisaaks s

@@scottisaaks That would be easier with no bed to take off. It should take less than a day

The custom conversions are expensive. In think Andersen's Ultimate hitch will got into the recessed box ball for a 5th wheel. I'll have to research it and may truck one. CM can make the ball box big enough for a B&W companion 5th wheel.

I sold the truck

It was from Canada, Auto-Flex

@@MrTruckTV that is pretty freaking neat man I like it is it fairly inexpensive

Good to know, I'm seriously considering doing that to my truck when I can justify it. I'd love to have the dump feature for loading/hitching

Also, I really want a good flatbed like that

no

Same way as with a factory bed. We drilled a hole for the wrench to lower the spare.

Yeah, we only towed that trailer a couple miles and then went home. Discovered the brake lights when I got home and hooked to my trailer. It was just a loose connection under the truck

Same place under the bed

AL SK skirted bed with 4 tool boxes

no cause they will collect water

I'll measure them today

The doors are 12 x 12 looks like 10 in deep

I appreciate the information that's really good size for a short bed truck

7 ft by 7 ft

I would think so

MrTruckTV thanks Mr Truck. Love your videos

There was no welding on my truck frame. The uprights were welded to the steel frame of the bed. The uprights were bolted to the truck frame

MrFix - how are the suspension, cross members, cab mounts, pick up box etc etc etc attached to a truck frame? Drilling and bolting in accordance with the OEM upfitting/body installation procedures is completely acceptable.
