RCP57's first King...

[flatdeck]

Reg that looks great.. Would it be much work to put a frame under it so it would sit on right on a truck frame??

Haha I think you're right Lou, He cut the "lumber" and I cut the teeny strips and bundled it up. We both thought it was good marketing if the deck came with a load.

Looks great Reg, I like how it clears the 5th wheel and yet the distance between the deck and tires is perfect, not too high.
Not sure the proper name for it but I think you need to add the thin side rails to attach chains and load binders to?


You do this stuff so well and so fast, it only makes sense you should share with the rest of us

Thanks Reg

Well build another truck Mario! I'm not sure if anyone would even care that it clears the fifth wheel but I thought it would make it useful for someone with a day cab that normally tows a trailer...Drop it on, tighten a couple screws and you have a flat deck!...reverse and you have your tractor back...maybe it seems handier than it really is. Doesn't PMD offer proper scale ratchets for the decks? I swear I have seen them somewhere...
