Title: Truck Flatbed
Post by: 05greengriz on November 18, 2008, 07:02:09 PM
Any suggestions on where to look or call for a truck flatbed, I have already called Eli's in Okeechobee and King equipment in Sebring.  Thanks.

Rayside is about 30% higher than anyone else in West Palm. Example I had 3 dump bodies made for Landscape dump trucks a few years back & they were almost 24k for all 3 :o. I got them done around 16

Be cautious of Pro Comps.
Sorry about the misfortune, BUT, It looks as though you definately got your ise out the tires !! There fore, I dont know as if "beware of Procomps" is an accurate claim, They look pretty worn out to me, but, pics dont always tell a good story.
 I am very happy with mine.
For your question, do a search on big tex trailers. I know they have them, they were pretty cheap on prices ( although we were in Texas when we seen them).
 Also pick up a Bargain trader, or a sawgrass  trader out of palmghetto , I have seen them in there as well.
 Good luck ;)

I work in service at Heintzelman's Truck Center in Orlando and we send a lot of trucks to Knapheide for flat beds.  The Orlando location for Knapheide is ph# is 407-857-2040.  The toll free # I believe is for their main office and it is 877-536-5507.  Good luck!

If you're ever in the Orlando area or know someone who is and needs service or repairs on their Ford trucks, from Rangers up to F-750's tell them to contact me @ 407-297-1133 x113!  Especially those 6.0L diesels.  No one else can get them right.

Thanks,

Mark

Art-

Just go see Jonny Jackson at Fix-a-Tire. He has some fenders for you to replace the one that tore off. Lot cheaper than the new bed, unless you just want the bed of course. In that case I will keep my eyes out for you.
