Under flatbed box questions.

[ExpoMike]

Yeah, my problem is, I need ones that are only 10" tall and the shortest I can find are 14". Most are 18".

Any fab shop with a nice press brake can make those. I would try a local shop first.

I was wondering those with rear triangle boxes, how well do those store items as the floor is slanted towards the tire? Working on finding a shape for my rear boxes and undecided to run a straight triangle from the rear tire, or leave a flat floor area, then just slant the rear section.



The front box for sizing

Sweet!


The owner of Alaskan campers had them draw them up and give him a quote. It was for one long box for an 8.5 foot flatbed with a shallow section for the wheel well swell on the camper, plus they had sort of short doors on the ends to clear the camper jack brackets that interfered with the full sized doors. The price was Protech’ s bid to him.

That's more than I paid for my '85 one-owner Alaskan!

I think I'm going to make my own out of expanded PVC sheet and fiberglass. If you'd rather use plywood, I wouldn't be shy about that either. Put a layer of fiberglass on it and it should be fine.
