When the fleet side box gets too rotten ,a flat bed is a good way to get more life out of a truck. Easy enough to repair a cab, and if the motor and drive train are still good , why not? I put a flat bed on my 72 chev 3/4 ton back in 1990 ,and squeezed another 10 years out of if. Eventually moved it on to a 85 Dodge for a few years of extended life on that truck. and it went on to a 87 GMC my son has still. Top was check plate, as was the back end, with tail lights recessed into the back end, with no bumper sticking out. This not only saves the tail lights , but you can back up flush to a loading dock. I had stake pockets and 4 foot livestock racks for hauling calves and hogs. I also had 1 1/2 inch flat bar welded to the out side of the pockets to strap or chain things down to. In my mind a steel flat deck makes a pickup , a truck. You can now load and haul things without worry about scratches or dents in the flimsy box. I do not have a flat bed on a pickup now myself, but I do still have my old F800 ,flat bed.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
