WOW! That is slick looking!

$4300!!! you can get lots of spray on bed liner for that price. It looks good, just way too pricy for me.

holy crap thats a lot of welding.

yea pretty amazing i wish it were in mine if my buddy ever takes it out its mine lol

Whoever would spend $4300 to have that in their bed isn't right upstairs. That's just stupid, IMHO........

well theres people that think we're all morons for having trucks that are as much as ours are but thats just life it still looks sweet you didn't buy so no worries

Thats a lot of dough for a bed liner:p:

Yea it was 100% custom fabricated at a local welding shop

My grandpa had something very similar to that made when he bought his 1990 F350 and its still in there to this day and looks pretty much the same as it did in 1990 just not quite so shiny. He had a friend do it though, I dont think it was anywhere near that cost. The same guy also built welded aluminum boats for us.

Does he have and cushion between it and the liner? If not, its gonna scratch up his bed something fierce.

Not my look but what ever floats your boat. My question, isn't this asking for trouble down the street without a liner between the two metals. Aluminum and steel don't play well together I thought.

Wow, that's just sick. A whole lot more money that I would have spent, but it's your truck. Dare to be different!:p:

Man, I would cringe at the first ding...

Ha it's been thought of it's line x-ed in between

$4300... wow. That seems pretty steep to me. There's maybe $500 worth of floor plate there. I own a fab shop, certified steel and aluminum, and we did one similar to that on a Ford long box about two years ago. I had one of my apprentices fab it up and charged him $2000... cash. For $4300 he should of had a built in tidy tank or tool box included.

I had thought about doing that to my truck. Guess I'll go a different route now atleast a different design may stick with the diamond plate though. Looks great!!

Well the extra could be accounted for pretty quick if it wasn't an apprentice (regular shop rate) and wasn't paid for in cash plus he wrote it off as a business expense so i don't think he cared to much.

Cost aside, you gotta give credit to the creativeness and craftsmanship there. Pretty cool and unique idea!

that is sweet!

Even still... at say, $72/hr shop rate and 20% mark-up, it would have taken 45 man hrs, at which I'd have a problem with if it took that long in my shop. Don't get me wrong, it looks well built and the welds look solid... it's just hard for me to justify the cost. Also, apprentice or not, I still charge the same shop rate and cash just means... no tax.

I agree 100% because when people say nice truck how much you got in it total and you say close to $48,000 they say your a moron lol I bought my house cheaper than that.

Very niceeeeeeeeeee.Would love to have one like that but i am old school and still like chrome or in this case aluiminum.:D

What about if the bed ever needs to be removed????????????

Awesome bed liner. I could get behind something like that, definitely. But, heck, the liner'd cost more than my truck. :shock:

What about if the bed ever needs to be removed????????????

Looks to me like after removing the 5th wheel it would probably lift right out.

Looks nice, but, appears to be more show than go.

No tool box, no tie downs for cargo... Slick as snot if you put anything in it.

Throw a liner in it and it'd make a great hillbilly pool!!!

I hate diamond plate.

X2

What about if the bed ever needs to be removed????????????

Drill the rivets out and it'll come right out. It's actually made around the gooseneck hitch so it'll lift right out.

looks nice.

I dont know what to say....guess its better not to say anything. :D

Thats cool, but I just can't help and think about all the times I have burn the shit out of myself on diamond plate in the sun.

i guess what ever blows your hair back, he bought a 4200 dollar bed liner, i would have bought a better turbo, and go fast goodies

He doesn't have anything related to performance on his truck whatsoever. It's bone stock so he can keep a warranty.

thats not really what i ment, im just saying if he wants to spend 4200 of his own money on a bed liner so be it, i would have spent my 4200 on preformance parts thats all

:coolnana:

$4,200......that is what my built trans cost. It is different and unique. I would hate to keep it polished up.

Very cool looking.

It looks cool and is probably very strong. For my money, I can buy a TON of fuel. I didn't want to destroy my bed, so I got myself a $20 plastic bedliner off of craigslist. I have hauled so much stuff in the bed of my truck i'm definitely getting my $20 worth.
