I am going to remove my box and install a deck on my F250. I am not real comfortable with some of the install details (modifying fuel fill line) so I would like to take it to a shop.

Anyone know of a good shop for this kind of work?

I didn't find a place to doo an aluminum flat deck in Calgary so I took mine to Kamloops.

Not very explicit but all I have right now. I could take more if it will help you.

The sides fold down and there is a ramp underneath. Fenders/flaps added in the second picture. It is 8' long and folds to 8'6" for maximum width.

thta is an awesome deck. Mine is going to be standard with and we are building a couple of wings that will slide into recievers welded under the deck.

I can't believe that more guys don't do this as a deck is more useful than a box many times and it is sure nice to load onto a deck that height.

hahaha.....I should have repaired that as well but not in the contract!

Obviously, not the snow levels of Revelstoke and in April this spring there were only two steps remaining. For poor snow years lately that isn't bad!

We are in the preliminary process(es) of building a new cabin. One wouldn't believe the foot dragging and lengthy process just to get started!

Oh well, one of these days.....

Haha, I missed the ladder the first time through. That is awesome, but the 3rd and 5th steps are a bit of a b!tch!

Here is another pic. My kid Colby made it up that ladder and tunneled 1/2 way up the roof before popping up through the top where he found was a great place to throw snowballs from:nono:
