Curb weight of flat bed vs. a regular bed?
I'm getting more interested in buying a regular truck camper made for a regular pick up truck BUT putting it on a flat bed pickup truck. This is what this couple did: https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Lot of variables.
When flatbeds are generally much heavier than standard beds, if you buy small aluminium bed, the difference will be marginal.
Than Ford in last years is using aluminium beds, who with couple of other changes shaved 500 lb between a year of the same truck model.
So if you already have aluminum bed and replace it with aluminium flatbed, the difference is going to be big.
If you have steel bed and replace it with aluminium flatbed, that will make for small difference.
Than when you add buch of storage boxes, you go up again.
