Building a flatbed trailer, or building a truck deck?

Always a good idea. I built one for mine. Great for skinning.

Nice. You may find like I did that my tires can hit the bed now. It's ok. It's smooth there so it hurts nothing. A lift kit will fix that. Love the Duratracs, I run them too.
Headache rack going on?
Whats with the down bars out back? Can't wait to see more.

Thought that's what you were going for. As you see on mine I mounted a tool box. Inside is a 10000LB Ramsey winch.
If you add a small ATV winch to your headache rack you can use it to pull quads up among other things like deer, etc. The dove tail will be a good idea.
I'm adding an ATV winch to my rack so when I lift an animal, etc, I can use the little winch to pull it over the deck. Now I gotta swing them on which works but my little winch will work better.

The thing I most likely with a flatbed is if you got the time you can make it suit you change it when needed. And mine won't be as heavy as most by any means which means I can haul a little more weight when needed

Lovin it. The wheel wells are great. I went flat and now my tires hit. Not enough for me to care but still. A future suspension lift will alleviate that.

If u haul heavy loads look up ssc50 coils. It's what I have gives us a bit of a lift 2-4 inches depending on weight and also makes hauling things a bit nicer
