Hey Guys, I want to build a Custom Truck Bed and am looking for more Ideas. I dont want to put a Flatbed on it. and Not just a Box.. Something With a cool back end. Maybe blend in a custom Tailgate from a Wagon. Any pictures or Ideas would help. Thanks
My 1953 Chevy with a hand built bed! 2 1965 Volvo roofs, 2 1967 VW rear fenders and a bunch of sheet metal = Custom Bed! Ta daa! Klaus
Well then all you need is some square tubing and then you go hunting in the junk yards for body parts to cover it all up and create the fantastic shape everybody will wonder about! Good luck in your hunt! Klaus
Lots of Studebaker trucks with custom bed treatments. Here is one off the web. Several here on the HAMB as well.
I'd suggest finding the tailgate first & then shaping the bedsides & bedfront, etc. to conform to the tailgate (rather than vice-versa).
I know it's a flatbed but maybe a tailgate with a wooden lid similar to his tray? He's CNC'd out the skull and inserted a different species of wood in it... All ideas help I spose?
Great Ryan, When I think Skull I just think Engraving. BUT inserted a different species of wood in it... is a great Idea. I viewed your build. Good Luck with it and Thanks
