Draggin Wagon Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Give some thought to a roll back bed. Would be handy to haul golf cart and a motel runner car when you go to shows. Might be a little expensive sure would look sharp on that good looking ride. And besides I'm spending your money!!! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70034-stake-bed-building-tips/#findComment-501716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Covert Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 The previous owner actually set it up for a rollback. They wanted it to haul cars they collected.
