All right, what do we see here ? Is that a designated bed attachment point or did the bodybuilder just weld a piece of C channel to the frame to bolt his bed to, so the weld became a fatigue crack initiation point ?

This looks very peculiar, and having read many manufacturers body builders guidelines, i think this is a violation.

I asked the same question earlier and someone said "that's the factory bracket", but after looking further it sure doesn't seem like it is.

Thats a picture of a cab & chassis, different truck. The one in question, is a pickup truck with the factory bed removed and flatbed installed. They set the flatbed on top of the original bed mounts.

Some of these appear to be well thought out, others, not so much.

I've seen similar setups in the infields of Sebring and Daytona.

What a great looking camper. Lots of room and it looks easy on the truck. Any guess how much the camper weighs?

If he's not going to buy an 8 foot bed, at least he could load up against the cab.

See how well it is tied? How it is not tied? I suspect it was originally loaded forward.

Gotta take advantage of those oranges on sale at all costs.

Hey, at least it's tied down... Somewhat...

Actually farm-to-market, no?

Maybe. Or just to sell on the side of the road. Happens a lot too.

All right, i give up. Then i dont know why so many frames fail. Here in Europe, frames only fail due to corrosion damage, between cab and bed where the rain falls directly on the frame. During my 5 years in trailer and body building i dont remember any customer complain about truck frame damage. Or at least none who blamed us as body builder.
