Non-Dropside + little $ = Dropside

[stevegr]

My son and I traded the standard bed on our Deuce + a little money for a Dropside bed from Jack, a.k.a SixSpeed. The Deuce is now much more practical than before. Very good person to deal with. Jack is a top notch guy. My son and I enjoyed meeting him.

Nice! did you do an 11.00 swap at the same time?

 

[stevegr]

Thanks. My brother-in-law and I swapped the 11.00's from my 109 about a month ago. 109 has been sold since then.

Reading the tittle I thought somehow u converted ur non drop to a dropside and... Well... Nevermind lol

ANYWAYS... That's pretty cool. It looks way more handy then the standard deuce bed

Grant is installing a drop side onto my bobber he is building for me. It will come in handy.

I will also be converting mine in the near future. And my tires will be swapped to the same type as on the A3 trucks.

I hope mine will looks as good as you truck does overall.

Those of you who have little or no experiance with the dropsides, don't load them with loose material like rock or dirt or with anything that will push on the sides, with the tail gate down, you will catch h3ll trying to get the latches in due to bed side flex.

nice upgrade Greg! whats next?Paint job?

 

[stevegr]

Thanks Ray, if not a paint job, the next upgrade might be lockers or perhaps a water injection kit.

Drop side beds rock! Shrotening one takes some doing though...whew!

Ok, I am new to this but, what is the advanatge of a Dropside? I would bet there are some dis-adavantages also, Right? Can someone help?

Ever try to load 6 pallets of sod onto a truck without dropsides? You would have to slide them up, and then push the next 2 pallets with the last load.
You can load 3 per side with a drop side with ease.

I've only used my dropside once in three years. BUT, better to have it and not need it, than to need it, and not have it.

I've got a love/hate relationship with my dropside. They are nice when you need them but a pain in the rear when you don't.

 

[randini]

Great, something else to feel inferior about.. Drop-side envy!!...LOL What is the down side of a drop-side, why a love-hate relationship?

Takes longer and is harder to latch tail gate, bed sides flex alot.

Rattletraps. I have one, don't care for it. I'm going to switch mine out too. Unfortunatly there will be no tire upgrades in my future.

I hate opening and shuting the tailgate. I love not having to side pallets in from the rear. Hence the love/hate.

Most dropsides are missing the troop seat braces. Without the braces, it is almost impossible to close the tailgate with people sitting in the seats. It's also dangerous because the sides can drop with the people in them.

Amen to that Pete and that's a beautiful looking Dropside in that pic.
