Fladbed question

To those who have installed flatbed on their truck, how did you adsress the fuel filler neck? I will be ordering a custom aluminum flatbed built by alcom for my double cab. I will be doing install with friend. Fillw neck wont be "built in" new flatbed.

Did you fab a bracket to mount to bed? Does it stay under the bed? Use a different filler neck? Pics of what you did would be great.

Thanks

Future flatbed woth folding sides and tailgate pic.

 

This is by far my favorite Tacoma flatbed: http://forum.expeditionportal.com/t...amper-2nd-Gen-Tacoma?highlight=flatbed+tacoma

There's plenty more in the thread on the filler neck. Probably go backwards from the post I listed above.

 

Oh, good gravy, what a wonderful idea... how much is going to cost you?

 

I was quoted $2,750 with the fold down sides, $2,000 for plain stake body. Price imcludes built in headache rack and rear apron complete with the led lighting. Prices exclude 6.25% sales tax. The turn around on the order is about 4weeks.

 

I think that puts the bed deck a bit higher than the stock bed is the only drawback... I do love a flatbed.

 

I don't like the additional height of flat beds either- but it would be nice to have a full length drawer under it.

 

Additional height is a slight drawback but the extra cargo room is the trade off i want.

 

Did you end up getting your flat bed? Any pics of the finished product?

 

Unfortunately unable to buy flatbed. My funds got diverted to other unexpected expense. Maybe next year. I'll see.

 

well who were you getting to fab it up?
