The amount of time and detail that went into this flatbed is frankly unreal. Most universal flatbeds just bolt-on... Ours becomes part of the truck.

Flush mount toolboxes, a sleek headboard, flip-down side boards and adjustable mounts that bolt to the factory bed locations are just the beginning. Hand-built, laser cut and formed to perfection right here in the Pacific NW at @ace_metalworks Attention t

This is the scenario every flatbed driver fears. 🏗️🛑 We see the aftermath of a severe rear-end collision where a flatbed truck slammed into the back of a dry van. The impact was violent enough, but the real damage came from behind: the load shifted forward, penetrating the cab and crushing the sleeper. Viewers are pointing out a potential lack of a heavy-duty headache rack (headboard) or sufficient chains to stop that forward momentum. When you hit the brakes that hard, Newton's laws take over
