we have two trucks with flat beds at home. the main reason was price. but i have come to find out that it is easier to haul some things on a flat bed. but i think my truck will always havea bed on it.

No.

Because I'm interested in chicks, not fovl's.

Flatbeds attract fovl's. It's a fact of life. And fovl's scare me.

I loose enough bottles of chlorine as it is sliding around corners with my standard bed; Norco would be a Superfund sight if I had a flatbed.

(Oh, wait, Norco is a superfund sight. Mmmmm... Maybe I could swing one of them flatbeds...)

Ok. I know I'm going to regrete this, but what is a fovl? Is that like a potato bug?

It is a word that somebody is probably going to figure out and is probably going to get me banned, so best not dwell on it.

Flatbed...but only because the business bought the truck, and it was cheaper that way. It's also handy when you're hauling farm machinery!

My 79 has a flat bed and so does the old mans 80 (both chevy's) Out here on the farm, they are pretty nice to have around. I built mine in the shop, so it is just the way I want it too!

1995 F800 with an 18' flatbed (Cummins Powered) used to deliver burial vaults.

Purchased a 2000 FL70 yesterday!!!! This one has a little 8' bed with a gooseneck and pintle. This will be our new backhoe puller. 111k miles on the Cummins.

Built my own flat bed, because I wanted stacks, and didn't want to cut a hole in an otherwise perfectly good p/u bed. Also the bed usually rusts out first, so I figured to sell it while it had some value.
