I was thinking of swapping my factory 6' 6" Silverado bed on my 2500HD with a used tray-bed, like the ones on Home Depot rental pickups.
I don't know who makes the HD ones but they look mighty similar to the Tafco Scott Aluminum tray-bed
Southern Truck sells rust free GM, Chevrolet, GMC, Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Jeep, Toyota, Mazda, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Nissan truck parts and also does truck restorations and customized paint jobs.
There are other manufacturers of aluminum tray-beds. Do any of them state the payload capacity of the bed?
What I am wondering is , if I secured a 3300 lb machine to this kind of bed, if the machine might rip the rails of the bed free of the pickup frame if load shifted but this wouldn't be an issue with the factory steel bed ?
