Hi
Time to make a choice whether its a flat deck or a 9 ft rolled top pick up bed i've done some mocking up in cardboard and the kids pens but can't decide how tall it needs to be to look right, any thoughts ? Also has anybody rolled a top of the bed ,how did you do it ? we have a 100 ton 3 metre press brake and thinking about making some tooling up any idea's . Andy

Think the flat deck would look good...like the fender on the orange on....kinda has the feel of the front fenders. Don't know much about these trucks, other than they are cool, but any chance you could use front fenders on the rear-that would be the bomb!

Agree with the previous poster. Especially the idea of using front fenders for the rear to echo the existing front fenders.

LOVE COEs anyway.

How about a combination of the two? Maybe but some storage boxes down low with doors and a shallow (or not) pickup bed above. I think the "orange" fenders look pretty cool too.

Oh and PM mickster about making the bedsides. He was doing that a year or so ago.
