Hey guys, in the process of buyng a 46. 2ton and I am toying with the idea of shortening the bed to around 8ft or maybe grafting a pickup bed onto it for something different. I am thinking a 2ton pickup could be very large and cool. Comments, suggestions?

Hi buford, welcome. If I wanted a pickup, I would simply buy one. The 2 tons are cool, I agree with baldbenny. But it's entirely up to you, hope your deal works out. Be sure to drop in here if you need anything.

Thanks guys, think I will just shorten the bed down a fuzz and set it up for a gooseneck hitch. I plan to use it totake my antique tractors to show and maybe a few parades and shows. I am not going to repaint it anytime soon as it has a great patina going already.
