Car Hauler beds....other than Hodges
Anyone have any experience with having a car hauler bed put on their 1-ton? Hodges in Kentucky seems to be all I can find, but I live in the northeast and can't see driving that far unless they are the only game in town.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Eric Merryfield

Eric -- Over the years I must have bought more than twenty from him -- he will deliver if asked -- tell him I said hey..........And he is the best at building them .

Eric, I have to agree with Jack as I have owned 2 beds by Hodge and known many guys with them as well. They hold up great and are very well constructed. With a Hodge bed you won't go wrong. ( in my opinion)

I don't know why you would consider any other one.
I purchased two from him over the years and couldn';t be happier with either. You can't beat the price. I made the trip all the way from South Florida to get each of them done and he even provided me with a loaner car while I was there at no extra cost. Did the entire job in just one day.

I decided not to have a hodges bed put on my 360 powered 50K 93 D350 3 years ago when I purchased my 70 Challenger....and keep it as a 14ft stakebody with 1600lb liftgate instead(the ultimate parts moving truck).... and opted for a 96 f450 powerstroke rollback with a 19ft kilar aluminum bed with a wheellift instead. Expensive to maintain, real fun to drive, but my lord does it inspire drivers to cut me off! I thought towing an enclosed trailer brought out the worst in drivers, try the light/medium duty loaded rollback..... Tow truck drivers have it tough, have earned my lifelong respect. Thanks Eric Merryfield

I've heard that red is the worst color for recognition than any other color. (the Christmas tree excluded) Especially for a color blind person.
Just as yellow is the easiest color to see.
