Flat bed and Gap

[Jzack605]

The flat bed bug is hitting me hard and I could rational a new truck in the next few years. My current FWC is a hawk slide in on my tundra. I see lots of flatbed trucks for sale, mostly for the trades, that look nice but I’m concerned about the gap above the cab. What have y’all done in this space? I suppose it would be a great spot for a pelican case and some equipment storage. I would love to try out the slide in with side tool boxes. As much as I would love a flat bed camper to accompany that would probably be down the road further.

Current rig in all her glory, fire tower was a great addition.

Must be a workout lifting that roof!

Look at the Sherptek beds. Might be less expensive than new truck, flatbed, and camper…

Swap out pickup bed for CM aluminum flatbed. Inexpensive, bulletproof upgrade for your slide-in camper. As far as gap at cab roof, you can take dvantage of that - see photos of rig on my web site (link in sig, below).

Bed swaps are not a terrible idea. Wasn’t thinking that mainly in that I was planning to consider a new truck when my Tundra hit 100k miles. While I know it’s a baby in Toyota years I’d like a bigger backseat in planning for the future family.
