Product Description
Bradford Built | Steel Workbed | 4" Flip-Down Rails, Extended Skirting, & 3-Year Paint Warranty
The Bradford Built Steel Workbed is the classic truck bed that started it all. Featuring signature 4" hinged flip-down side rails, this bed provides the ultimate versatility to instantly convert from a secure cargo box into a wide-open flat deck. With its extended skirting, formed headache rack, and rigorous 4-step paint finish, the Steel Workbed is a highly effective, premium upgrade for field mechanics, ranchers, and construction crews across the Eastern Idaho.
Available Flatbed Sizes & Vehicle Footprints
Flatbeds must be carefully sized based on single vs. dual rear wheel chassis capacity to ensure perfect wheel-well flare clearance and turning radii:
7' (84") W x 7' L: Engineered specifically for Single Rear Wheel (SRW) setups replacing factory short beds.
7' (84") W x 8.5' L: Standard 8-foot frame replacements for Single Rear Wheel (SRW) trucks.
8' (96") W x 8.5' L: Wide-deck configuration explicitly designed for Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) standard 1-ton swaps.
8' (96") W x 9.25' L / 11.3' L: Extended length models built as a direct fit for commercial 60" and 84" Cab-to-Axle (CA) frames.

The Structural Backbone: Rigorous 4-Step Finish
Bradford Built ensures their steel beds stand the test of time and severe weather. Every Steel Workbed is fabricated using premium 1/8” thick tread plate steel featuring built-in tapered rear corners to guarantee maximum turning clearance for close-coupled trailers. It is then put through a rigorous 4-step paint process that includes blast media cleaning, an acid etching wash, a high-quality primer, and a thick powder-coat top layer. This meticulous process provides incredible rust resistance and allows Bradford Built to back the Workbed with an industry-leading 3-year paint warranty.
