not mine, but I will do something like that
yes they do very nice work here building those artesanado truck beds
that wood is hard as a rock, cannot drive nails thru it
I want to do a dump bed tho but was thinking about building the wood bed as shown except build a c channel frame around the wood floor with stake pockets welded in on top with flat steel sides and maybe bolt some plate or angle iron on to the almendro rails that sit on the frame and mount the dump hardware to that and then use the same almendro to fit into the stake pockets and frame on up
also wood try to keep the bed as low as possible and have fender wells and fenders like the white wrecker, a little wider than the factory flat fender bed but still with some room for running bds., so i can haul my workers around----------lol
