flat deck or??

[Trashy]

Thanks. Yes, it would be taxes to the tune of approximately $600. Depending on what they charge taxes on. Installation and labour?

It looks good Doug!!!

I have went to the States for truck tires, return trip in 17 hours. Claimed them at the border, and I had to pay the Duty on the tires only.

Should be no "duty" unless they were made in China or some other place other than the USA, Canada, or Mexico. We have bought our tires down there and just have to pay the taxes as they were Michelin's and actually made in Canada.

Well, to each their own, eh! I would have bought a GMC if I could have found one with what I wanted. The fact that the 2014 HD's aren't coming out for another year or more just p*ssed me off. The only thing I am missing in this truck is the highway speed control of the radio volume. OnStar would have been nice also.

Your right, and my mistake. It was the taxes I had to pay...... whopping 62 bucks. LOL

Yes, for an extra $100 (Hitch: Class 5 pull hitch, and 30,000 lb hidden goose-neck hitch). It actually goes underneath the deck. Have to doo a little mod for the ramp. I think the flat deck sits a little higher.

The height of that deck is about half way between the heights of the original box floor and box wall?

It is sitting on 2 pieces of 5" channel iron (parallel to the frame members) and then 3" aluminum channel for cross members. So it is 8" higher than the bottom of the box.

What is the length of your sleds? the pictures make it look short????

The deck is a full 8' and the sleds are both 163's. I'll have another picture up today and I'll change the angle for you..........

It will be little longer today as I am into aluminum railing on the front deck. Gotta keep the better half smiling so she pays for some gas this winter........hehehehehe

Maxwell is the sled-god! I'm just an ol' fart who likes to sled a lot..........

Here's a little more detail......... the deck is actually 102" long. A picture of the bolt for the extension, pockets for side rails so I can get a bigger box in the summer, and flush mount tie-downs. Note the wheel chucks on the head-ache rack.

 

[polaris011]

how do you put three sleds on two forward and one back ?? how wide do the extensions make it?

I don't have a need for 3 sleds on that deck! There is just my better half and I. Anybody else who wants to ride with us had better be able to get to the staging area.............

 

[Bernoff]

Much better Pics Thanks. You will have to send one with the sleds on it.

 

[polaris011]

This one isn't exactly like mine but close. I haven't seen mine yet and probably won't for a few months. I haven't got a truck to put it on yet as the 2014 GMC's aren't ready. Base price is $3800. I have extra SuperGlides for 3 sleds (for two sleds when the extensions are down and one sled in the middle when the extensions are up, extra Super Clamp hooks, extra lights, two tool boxes, and an extra lip on the side rail. A great guy to deal with BTW.
