Re: pickup bed
I have an OK original bed but bought a complete new assembled bed with metal floor from Mac Hils. Waited for 3 months. The individual components are all accurate, well made pieces but the "craftsman" made a total mess of assembly. The sub frame was poorly welded instead of riveted like it should be. Cross members had 1/4" gaps at each end. All of the floor to cross member screw slots were damaged from using a too narrow impact driver and the outside screw rows were forced in at an angle due to the extra width of the miss-assembled sub frame. The rivets used in the stake pockets were too long and poorly bucked. I made it fit because the "new manager" said there would not be any correctly made beds available if I returned it.
