Installing rollback bed

@brian991219

And whomever else has put a rollback bed onto another truck, especially in Pennsylvania.

I found a truck that is identical to a truck that I have that has a rollback bed.

Same wheelbase, same truck, everything identical. Except mine is beautiful and has a 12 valve Cummins, and that one is inoperable and basically is a rolling pile for parts.

If I didn't have my truck, and it wasn't so beautiful and magnificent and have the absolute perfect wheelbase, I wouldn't even consider this.

Now, I'm going to ask you if I can put that bed onto my truck and you're going to tell me no.

I've had this conversation with you before about pickup trucks and that sort of thing.

I guess the question I'm really asking you is if I install that bed on my truck, and I don't have the sticker in the door from the certified body builder, will anyone inspect that truck and will anyone give me a hard time about it if I'm pulled over?

I know a lot of trucks over the years either don't have that sticker on the door or it's been worn off or something to that effect, regarding dump beds and flatbeds and whatever else.

It doesn't seem to bother anyone when they inspect the trucks, at least from my experience.

I don't know if tow trucks are a separate thing with that or if it's a bigger deal, but I can tell you I am a fabricator and mechanic. I've been working on these trucks I think we're probably heading on 40 years as unbelievable as that is.

I have 100% positively zero doubt that I can install that on my truck every bit as good as any installer and it will be 1000% safe and I have no problem with me running that truck.

I'm just curious what you think about how that would go if I did that.

By the way the truck that I would put the rollback bed on has a 13 ft dumping flatbed. It doesn't seem, at least from looking at the truck, like going from a 13-ft dumping flatbed to a 19 ft rollback is that big of a deal, for the truck itself anyway.

I also would like to know what is required to become a certified body builder in Pennsylvania.

I have looked into that and I could not get any concrete answers.
