So, you go to a dentist for a cavity. He cuts your tooth in half. It's your fault for not telling him how you wanted it filled? I didn't just find a guy on the street and ask him to do some work for me.

Maybe per job, but long-term success isn't built by screwing over your customers.

Well said.

I'm still addressing your original assertion that $1000 isn't enough to do a proper install. All I'm saying is, if you put the same bed on the same truck 5 times and it's not any easier on the 5th time than it was on the first, then you're a ************** idiot. But no matter how you feel about...

I also want the bed to end up about 4 inches or so higher than it is now for tire clearance and so the bottom of the boxes are at about the same height as the body. Looking at the factory bed bolt locations, it looks like the pairs at the front and rear are on the flat area of the frame. The...

I guarantee you that every flatbed installer has put a lot of beds on a lot of trucks with my exact frame. Do you think they just pretend that they've never done it before to keep it interesting? And yeah, I guess they could pay a couple of people full time to just try to remember stuff, or...

My thoughts exactly.

I agree, and I have a loader to lift the bed and a plan to make it right. It's just a tough pill to swallow that I essentially have a hacked up bed and a major project ahead of me after paying a total of about $6800 ($5300 bed + $1000 install + "CC convenience fee" + tax) And earlier, it...

Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're saying which seems to be that $1,000 isn't enough money for someone to install a flatbed correctly on anything other than a bare cab and chassis. If that's the case, I have to completely disagree. MAYBE they have more hours figuring out how to do it...

Honestly, I was happy to pony up the $1000 to have it installed PROPERLY. I thought it would be either take on the project myself or take a chance on someone else doing a bad install. I (naively) assumed that they'd be the experts at installing their own product.

I fully agree that it seems ridiculous to chop up the support. For the $1000 installation, they should have been able to do the install properly, whether that be welding brackets to the frame or something else. I think it's stupid and improper, but I see what they were TRYING to do. The worst...

I don't know whether it was me not being thorough or just bad timing, but it seems like I've seen a lot more negative stuff popping up over the past few months (since I ordered mine) than I found beforehand. Good luck with yours, hope it's as expected. Its out of character for me to not go...

Wow. So basically, their standard procedure is to eyeball it, cut it up if needed, lay it on, clamp it down, and send it out the door. It seems like there should be all sorts of horror stories floating around. Gary said that they install 3 beds per week. That's scary.

That's crazy! Was this on a cab/chassis truck? If not, I'm curious how they addressed the hump over the axle. I figured that they probably cut it on all frames that weren't flat. Seems like return the truck right before we're locking the doors thing is standard operating procedure.

Seems like it. Coming up to the install, Gary told me "usually it takes a day, hopefully it doesn't run beyond that". Anyone want to venture a guess as to what could possibly take a full day here? I know it's hard work hacking up truck beds, but...

Agreed. I know that stuff can slip through the cracks sometimes. This is absolutely, extremely bad, but I still gave Gary the opportunity to see it (and be appalled) and try to make it right. Instead, he's refused to acknowledge that there's even a problem. And, I'm all for giving someone...

Hack job for sure. Good idea on the "independent expert". I have already started the process with Amex to dispute the install charge and separately, filed a complaint with the BBB. I really think I'm entitled to a full refund of the install and a steep partial refund for the bed considering...

Honestly, they're overrated anyway. I feel like all of my other complaints absolutely pale in comparison and just come off as nitpicking, but the bed is absolutely not perfect. It's far from the worst that I've seen, but it's really not fantastic. Some details of the bed itself... The back...

About a year and a half ago, I bought my 2000 F-250 crew cab short bed 7.3 from an owner in Arizona where it had spent the past 19 years, flew into Phoenix and drove it back to Ohio. It was a little tired, so since then I've been chipping away at a list of upgrades, fixes, and maintenance: -...
