Getting ready to upgrade diesel with flatbed and toolboxes for slide in.. Anyone have pics of their setups? Love to see some. Lots of people have been doing the flatbed camper, but the tool boxes is nice for camp gear.. lets see some pics

We are adding our fleet to the bed to save over cab height and more room for tool boxes.

I'm thinking of doing this myself. Here's a couple of pictures I found on the net.

Ohaul, what's that platform out the back with the steps attached to it? Is that some sort of pull-out from underneath the camper? FYI: your pictures won't enlarge.

4JC I don't know why the little expand tab is there, that is the size of the pics I was trying to post.
I cut open part of the floor in the service bed, Installed a bed slide and made a false floor over the top of the slide.
the camper needed a little vertical help to get over the sides of the service bed. So I combined the idea of spacer and bed slide, made the top of the bed slide a porch and tire carrier. It works really well. The expanded metal that acts as the floor of the porch helps keep the sand out of the camper.
Here are some more pics and some bigger pics:
