    1967 Duracraft Flat Mod

    Yeah... I used wood I already had leftover and before I read about the copper in treated wood being corrosive to aluminum. I had planned to strip it down to bare metal and spray the inside with bedliner so it just sped up the process. I figure I can use the existing as templates when I take it...

    1967 Duracraft Flat Mod

    After reading for hours and trying to get some ideas, I started on this 12ft Duracraft flat.

I cut the front and rear seats...
