I am thinking about riging up my truck that has a 14 flatbed with sides and hoist with a way to easly change beds so i can use it with this bed, a longer flat bed that will touch the ground when all the way up, or with no bed so i can pull a trailer and use it as a winch truck with gin poles. I dont realy want a roll back system or a hook bed bed because of the extra weigh,noise and i dont plan on switching loaded beds. The truck will have a frame mounted winch and the beds already have winches.This will help down size one truck from 3 and i wont need to take my winch truck on the road so i will have 2 less licence and 2 less to insure. Wright now the bed can be removed in 10 miniutes buy removeing 2 pins and unhooking lights but takes longer to replace pins. Has any one did this before or should i build a hook bed system?
Never seen it, but one thought that came to mind to help put the pins in quicker. Long tapered pins, wouldn't even have to be solid turned on a lathe, a piece of tapered angle iron welded to the end of the pin would help line everything up so the pins go right in.
