Cruiser FJ45 custom beds, tube beds

I have been looking for a couple days for pics of custom fj45 beds or fj40 truggy pics.

I have a fj40 that is going to get cab corners and a bed. The fj45 beds are butt ass ugly and will not be on my rig.

I have seen a few tube buggies built over the years on a hot rod theme. I remember a couple having a tube bed that resembled an old stepside box when finished.

I would rather not just tube it up to look like a minitruck truggy or tube based buggy, not like a flatbed either, more like a longer slender tube bed with tube fenders on it to match my front tube fenders.

Any of you have any pics or links to the ol ratrod looking crawlers I mentioned? Or pics or links to any cruiser based rigs with interesting tube work behind the seats?

also pics or links to custom willys/jeep truck beds seem to be more commonplace than on cruisers.

Anyone know where pics or a build thread are for Don Browns blue and silver willys truck? I like that one. It was in crawl, but cant remember when.

What about a willys pickup bed? Fenders are kind of similar at least.

Here's a bed shot of that willys from when it was in FourWheeler

Ive been trying to find the issue of crawl with a southern rig in it. On rocks and 47's, Gun metal grey 45 that was pretty sick.

That rig is sick as ****. I love the chopped top and lid on the cage too.

The only thing I dont like on it is the bedsides. They are stockers if I remember right.

The stance on that rig is awesome.

:awesomework:CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT DONE

I know it will be nice no doubt.
