Flatbed C10?
 

Ok guys, humor me here.. Ive done some searching and cant really find what i am looking for.

There are plenty of pics of C20s and C30s with flatbeds.

But what about the C10s? Doing some reading i saw they made a chassis only C10, used for ambulances and what, but i want to see Flatbed C10s.

No, im not saying i am going that way, but a thought was put into my head so i need to research it and go with it, or get it out of my head!!!!

I really would like to see NICE flatbeds, not farm style etc. But will take all!

Here is one i found on here doing some searching.....Any more like it? Anyone know whos this is?

I put a flatbed on my 69 c10. These pics are from immediately after the install. Was planning to build one myself, but I found one for less than I could buy the steel for, so I picked it up. It used to be a welding bed, with a gas generator/welder bolted down in the middle channel and oxy/acetylene bottle holders on the right.

The truck was originally a longbed fleetside, so I did have to cut ~1ft of frame off the back end.

It's not the prettiest, but it's nice for the hauling that I do. I sure don't worry about scratching the paint! :lol: I'll shoot it flat black again at the point when I'm ready to paint my cab and front end.

Minus the headache rack that isnt to bad!

Your right, clean that up and you have a nice bed. I prefer the wood floored beds but that doesnt look bad at all

Dubbed the "Mutt" This C10 fleet (a 71 LWB fleet to start with I believe) was put together several years ago by one of the old board members from Canada. I always loved how he did the flat bed

Cross that bed with the one in the one i found. And you have exactly what is in my head......

The idea hasnt been kicked out of my head yet...So any more????

Re: Flatbed C10?
 

I talked with a local truck parts supplier and they said they couldn't order one for a short bed, but would build me one. My projects on hold for now so I don't want to think about it anyomore lol

Re: Flatbed C10?

Here's mine, took a stepside tub off and fabricated my own flat bed

Re: Flatbed C10?
 

Damn Ray that truck is gorgeous!!!!!! If i had the skill to do that i would toss the wood idea!!!

Re: Flatbed C10?
 

That's nice. I'm thinking metal with wood. I have some IPE I was going to use for the stepside bed, but I can't stop thinking about a flatbed.

Re: Flatbed C10?
 

Thanks Redleg , the hardest part was cutting the shapes !!! I must admit I was pretty happy with the end result .....

Re: Flatbed C10?
 

the stance of that truck and look overall look is what i really hope to pull off with mine. Looking at yours maybe i might try metal. Have a good friend who has hand made some motorcycles and rock crawlers, so hes good with metal.....

Hmm.. yeah the wheels in my head are churning hard right now!

Re: Flatbed C10?
 

Keep the wheels turning only good can come from it !!! and as you can see there aren't alot around with flatbeds ...

Re: Flatbed C10?
 

Here is my flatbed in the late 80s. Orginally going to make it a welding truck for my dad, then we decided to make it for me to drive. Traded the flatbed for a fleetside bed about 10 years ago.

Re: Flatbed C10?
 

I saw a c-10 flatbed at the boneyard the other day and would of brought it home but after just buying 2 blazers and a truck I dont think the wife would of been to happy. I already sleep with one eye open cause i think shes ready to kill me if I bring anything else home. but soon as i find a place to put that flatbed I'm going to get it, i think there really cool

Re: Flatbed C10?
 

Ray rust, that truck is purty!!!! My buddy has a flat bed on his 3/4 4wd. It is GREAT for hauling stuff. It would be alot easier to load a 2wd half ton though. HAHA

Re: Flatbed C10 (woodbed for sell)
 

Here is a wooden flatbed I built. Was working on the steel bed and built this to haul things around. Ended up leaving it on for like a year.
