Aluminum Truck Bed

Are there truck bed manufacturers who make aluminum flat beds for truck campers or are custom ordered? Thinking of purchasing a new f450 or f550 cab and chassis for my next truck.

Markowwes, that is a great looking bed. I have contacted a couple of local truck bed manufacturers to see if they have done any custom beds. Did they give you an idea of the bed weight? Also, if possible could you pm me approx. cost? Thank you, Brinson

We had this deck custom built by โ€œAlum-Lineโ€
Sent them the drawings with measurements and they built it.
All out of aluminum so it is very light. I did the lighting myself as I am fussy about that.
Look them up โ€ฆyou wonโ€™t be disappointed.

Check out Aluma. I have one of their trailers but they also make truck beds. Top quality.

Funny you should say that. Look at the camper link at Douglas truck Bodies. They have 2 Host campers on 2 different length beds, both on 5500 Rams. Great additional secure and weatherproof storage. I'm trying to get them to build mine with templates from past Host Mammoths since I'm selling the GMC and the camper will be parked during the winter. PM me if you have questions. They have a lot of options.

Classy Chassis offers a custom aluminum bed specifically for truck campers. It includes lots of storage compartments.

Thanks for the replies. I will check with CM first. Going to look at Host Mammoths this weekend.

My new Ram 5500 is going to Douglas truck bodies in Bakersfield Ca. Take a look at their site. Great photos and they tailor to your design. I've got mine priced out and the truck will be shipped in a week or 2. I was told the build time is approx. 12 weeks.
