G9 flatbed project

TROUBADOUR · 01-30-2010, 02:48 PM

Considering getting started on a flatbed in my G9. Anyone have "plans" or diagrams of something I can look at? Anything on the forum? I don't have a shop and my cart is outside covered with a tarp in a couple inches of snow so I don't really want to go tearing into it right now, but I was hoping to see pics of frame rails, etc and measurements so I can build the bed now and put it on after spring thaw.
My idea so far is to be able to haul a bale of hay (or 2) on the bed and have a box for tools underneath - accessible via a door on the back.
Thoughts/opinions/ideas?

You could do something like this, just don't make the side rails as high.

Thanks. That has several things I'd like to incorporate into mine. The "seating option" is pretty good - even if I didn't use it for seating. I could fold that part in and just have a smaller flatbed. Perhaps the rails could be made to fold down too and extend the width as well as provide hand holds/tie downs.
I've been picturing mine with a cedar deck, but maybe expanded metal would be better with an optional plywood or 1X removable deck would be better.
Some things to think about.

Thanks, New,

Troub, Smallblock did a customers car as a flat bed with wood. Pictures are posted on this site! Maybe in "golf cart pictures" at the top.
Check it out, Mike

Thanks for the reminder - I think I remember that one. WAY-over-the-top good work! I guess I'll go look for it.
