Need opinions

So I have an ext. cab long bad as my sig truck. I'm needing to fix rust in the rear fenders on both sides. My question is instead of putting money in "fixing" the bed I thought about putting nice aluminum flat bed with a headache rack. I looked through all 52 pages of the pic thread and no one has one. How do you guys think it would look?

know it's only reg cab, but gives you the idea. This is how mine was before went back to tub on it & painted

 

[aussiestroker]

you can fit nice twin stacks in there too.

I know that it looks good on Std. cabs and crew cabs but have never seen one on an Ext. cab. Good looking thruk though

Now that I see that pic I think I may have made my mind up. That looked good with the Alum. bed!. I'm open to suggestions though so if anyone else has any let me know. I was gonna do a search on the "other" site but can't remember my password anymore :doh:

They look good and are alot lighter vs. steel but my ex-neighbor has one on his 6.0 and always complained about how hard it was to keep looking good and the fact that it scratched really easy. Just some "food for thought"

we had one on our extended cab but i can find no picture:shrug: it was nice, and ooked good i say if your goin to go with a flat bed turn it into a dually SRW flatbeds look goofy to me

 

[sparksf250]

Ive been debating the maintence of it too. These are all things I'm debating. Just for some reason having a hard time making my mind up keep the bed I have or got flatbed haha

 

[Yodersstrokin96]

yea aluminium kinda turns to grey after about a year and there is no way i would ever polish it haha maybe if ya can find that chemical they use for sprayin aluminium semi trailers down would work

 

[sparksf250]

Oh yea there is no way I would polish it either

 

[Yodersstrokin96]

i am pretty sure you can get an acid to clean in it with, when my bed goes again my truck will be a dually flatbed with full tool boxes underneath
