@perchie.girl flat beds are common around here. Most bluestone quarrymen use them. Racks or no racks.

Home built Wood ones? I think I could add a headache rack eventually.

I loved my subaru brat I had yrs ago, did a lot of baja'ng on four wheeler trails with it. Came across this vid checking out brats and old gl wagons. Australian version, brumby, racing a ducatti 996 Lol, awesome.

I loved Joy's Subaru brat on "My Name Is Earl"

people up here drive all sorts of junk... only regulations are lights and such... maybe a bumper like thing in the general area.


Our plow truck has a flat bed... but it is a store bought metal one.

bumper and lits are handled already.

Driving too heavy loads is a bit of a pain... I bought a trailer full of soil and hauled it with our Nissan, my god that thing handled crappy at that point. Must have had about 2-3 tonnes in the breakless crappy little rental trailer. Anything over 750kg is illegal on those. But I got the load home, only had about 10 km to drive with it, and not much ups and downs. But it's not something I'll do again... The car was fine with it though, just the trailer that didn't really like it. That's the way people move heavy and big loads here, no one can afford to get a big truck for just that kind of purposes. Bought new, a basic option Toyota Hilux or a VW Amarok will set you back about 40K. The US made trucks with bigger engines are even more, due to them putting out so much crap out of the exhaust.

It's not a chicken, but it's still pretty cute.

Yup, home built wood usually, sometimes with side racks. Some homebuilt diamond plate steel or aluminum.
Wish I could find the pic, '78 chevy with a pallet of stone on back with my boxer pup. I'll look again latter. It had a rough cut oak flatbed. That stuffs tuff.
