How a Custom Flatbed Differs from a Stock Replacement Bed

A stock flatbed is manufactured to fit a range of trucks in a given size class. Mounting holes may require modification, the deck width may not use the full legal allowance for the truck, and tie-down points are positioned according to the stock design rather than the operator's actual loading pattern. A custom flatbed from CMV Fabrication is dimensioned to the specific chassis it will mount to, with every feature positioned where the buyer's work requires it.

The additional cost of a custom-built flatbed reflects the engineering and fabrication time required to produce a bed that fits precisely. In return, the operator receives a flatbed that performs exactly as intended from the day it mounts, without the field modifications, adapter brackets, or workaround solutions that stock beds frequently require.
