Thinking about a Ute or similar flatbed on 1st gen DC Tundra

[huntsonora]

Has anybody seen a 1st gen tundra with a flatbed? I think I it would be incredibly versatile and am seriously considering putting one on my truck

The curvature of the bed and cab have me a little worried, do you think a ute bed would work well with this truck?

Hey Drummond, How's things? Check the link... I know its a Taco, but I think this looks super cool, and would be a similar look on your Tundra.

How's life in BC treating you bud? Come see us in CO!

I actually love that flatbed and it is one of the trucks that got me to thinking about making the switch. I just don't have the skill to fab one up like that. Does anybody know of a good fabricator on the front range here in CO that could pull something like that off? Also, would the price be similar to that of the ute which it right around $2500?

Things are good! Planning a trip towards MT and WY for mid to late sept. You still going to be around then, or already off guiding?

My first hunt starts august 9th this year and I'll be going until February but let me know, I'm going to have a little more time at home this season

Will do. We are looking to do some fishing in Wyoming so I might hit you up for some intel!

Thanks!

I just sent a PM to the guy that built the one in the link that Redthies posted. Wanted to pick his brain a bit before I moved forward with it

Here is the bed as it sits. I could just get this repaired or I could go with the flatbed. Still trying to get some feedback on the estimated cost of a custom built bed...
