More Custom Paint Photos to come..........but no galvanizing....ever...
How about chrome ?
I could. Just need to get some measurements off of one. Not sure how much weight I would put on a 1/2 ton though.
They will be fully finished, And can match truck color if you want (for a little extra)
I would guess around 350 LBS
Right now it is only steel, Its a lot cheaper to build with then aluminum. Plus I haven't shelled out the cash for a TIG welder yet.
Base price is $1200.
The one in the picture is for a short bed truck.
Measures 8 foot long by 7' 10 wide deck
18 inch dove tail.
8 foot 6 inch ramp (might be changing that to 9 feet).
The long bed model is just a foot longer total.
It is built on a box that slides just inside the wheel wells. So technically 1 guy could load/unload it. Just set the front on the tail gate and either drag it in or lift it from the back and slide it in.
Short bed, I like the sound of that!
( I wish I had a long bed)
( I wish I had a long bed)
The main supports of the deck are 3 inch channel. That is 3/16 inch
The sides that run the full length of the deck are 2x1 tubing that is 1/8 inch thick.
The cross supports are 2x2 and 2x1 that is .065 thick.

Im liking the idea.... Could you think about doing the sliding sides. I hardly ever tow two sleds but if I do having the sides to pull out into a double deck would be stellar....
Im not a huge fan of the dove tail. Is the purpose to help with the ramp angle or just having a place to hook the ramp? hmmm like the price

Yeah, I have been thinking about it. The down side is its going to add steel. So its going to add weight and $. I looked at the marathon deck and the snow show and I cant do it the way they did. But I think it is doable. I guess I better start drawing plans.
And the dove tail is both a place to hook the ramp and A extra 18 inches of ramp. The ramps I build are one piece non expendable. So I am limited to the length of the deck as to me ramp length. So, without a dove tail, in a short bed (8 foot 6inch ramp) With a 4 inch lift and 35 inch tires you are going to have a very steep ramp. But that said, I would be happy to build you a deck without a tail if that's what you want.

I have a rack for my wheelers and it works great. My .02 cents is that you should put a cross bar at the base of the ramps so it is harder for one side to sink into the ground. I never had a problem till 2 wks ago when on corner of one ramp sunk into the ground while I was loading my wheeler with my deer on the front and things got all bad and chit in a hurry. I plan to weld a piece across the end of each of the ramps to give it a better foot.
Also I have 10' ramps and they are way steep with my 6" lift and 37's. I tend to find a low spot for my back tires when loading and unloading
I built a sliding drawer in the base frame of mine also. Makes it alot easier to use the majority of my bed while the rack is in. I just pull a pin and I can slide my 5' tray out so that I can reach stuff that would be at the front of the bed and a pain in the arse to crawl up under and grab.

actually a lot easier to push a sled off a sled deck than a tilt deck trailer
