drop sides for trays,

Post by customhilux »

anyone know if the drop sides for flat bed trays, are an off the shelf item, or are they just custom jobs.









i was wondering if anyone had the length for a dual cab lux tray(drop side style).

flat bed.

Mine's 5'6", but I hope to make one 4' soon.
So it could be anywhere in between I guess.

the tray sides are off the shelf, I bought the panels for mudlux's tray from triple m trays up here at yatala, for the $40 for a 2100mm long folded panel it was not worth my time making them

tray

Post by Webbie »

You can also buy a product called W strap its designed for cattle and sheep yard fencing cheap and strong about $30 for 6mt lenght and just put some 1'' rhs around it for the frame ____/\___/\___ looks like this but some have a rolled edge :idea: :idea: :)
Lockers or Knockers ,both will make for fun.
