Might be alittle late, but can you make a drop in, like a tailgate on a haywagon. Couldn't weigh that much you could use your flip latch system again at the corners. Might upgrade to 20's Hahahahahahaha for strenght though.:poke:

Yea, you are a little too late. Thats what i made Thurs afternoon. Couldnt install it yesterday, had to take the hauler back to have them re-do the hinges at the back. I'll get it fitted today hopefully. I'm hoping the 10 pry 265/65/16's will hold up! Should find out Sunday.

I can tell ya on our old 3/4's they were under quite a load just with the factory bed and a heaped up (tossed in load). But then again my 3/4 has one H.E. double hockey sticks of a heavy steel flatbed with the usual hydralics, and we'll add a 2000 pounds hay bale to that. 10ply's are a must. Was that a ton truck by chance? Might want to consider Helper springs. Seriously I think anymore mine is being held by the helpers more than then originals. So what happend to the hinges?

Oh nothing happened to them. I just wanted to check out everything so i took the cotter pin and the washer off of the pin for the hinge. Hmmm....hole not round! They fixed it!
I might eventually end up putting anothere spring or two but i'll see what it looks like tomorrow after over filling it. I think i have a pic of the thing done enough for tomorrows trial run. I'll get it posted.
