Still trying to figure what type of bed to put on it but it will be different if I can help it. 53's of course and she has a 162" wheel base.

Make it a flatbed with a Hiaab crane so you can use it to pick up bigger and better parts for future bigger builds.
 
Judging from where your springs are, if you use an M105 trailer bed, you're gonna have some space between the cab and bed. Perfect for a spare tire and some 5-gallon jerry cans. A toolbox or two is not a bad idea either. I myself plan to leave about 15 or 18 inches for the afore mentioned accessories and I also plan to tap the air system on the truck and carry a compliment of air tools just in case. Eventually, I'll find a decent size generator and a small wire-feed welder and I'll be able to fix anything anywhere.

Yeah, a small deck in between the cab and bed is great. My work truck has one, its got a compressor(which you dont need), Air Hose Reel, and Soon a genset. Its great for all kinds of things. Use some sort of bed liner to coat everything, so you dont scratch the paint....:jumpin:

Every time I see another bobbed truck thread, this rings in my head, now it can ring in yours too!

I did not want to cut the frame shorter so I tryed this Gen. bed and had to reverse the way it sat to have it come close to looking right. I need a bigger box that is 30 inches to cover the space between the bed and cab. I just through this box to see what it might look like. I need to mount the 53's on some rims and see what it will look like. Also I have to remove the sub frame from the Gen trailer and that will lower it 4 inches.
