Flatbed / Tray Bed Options

[GreenTractor]

Interested in a flatbed / tray bed with removable or foldable sides on my ‘18 2500 CCLB.

Aluminum or steel? Using it on the farm but the 3/4 ton does have its payload limitations.

Not too concerned with the steel rusting but am wondering how durable an aluminum deck is.

Gooseneck a must. Ute or Norweld don’t quite look beefy enough for the farm.

Looking for something a little fancier than a flatbed with wood walls.

Anyone have any experience on this?

I have professional experience with work trucks that have aluminum beds, tool boxes, other accessories on them.

The best low weight/high strength beds I've ever seen are those made by ProTech. There are dealers for this brand all over the PNW. I did most of the business with Nelson Truck off NE Columbia BLVD in Portland.
