New Truck Bed Installed

After damaging my pickup box and not being able to find a replacement........decided to have a new bed fabricated. Contacted Larry Herrin at Herrin Haulers in Kilgore, TX and for about the same cost as having the bed repaired, we ended up with a new bed that is much more RV friendly!

So let me get this straight. All I have to do to get a SWEET bed like yours is drop my trailer on my truck. LOL.

I wish I had your kind of luck.

The end result is great.......but........Not worth all the "beating up" I did to myself for being so foolish!! The other part that was very hard to deal were the looks on my DW and Grandsons faces when it happened. This was for sure not the best way to go about "selling" the wife on another modification to the truck.

Re: New Bed Installed

I like this more then the CM beds. Very nice. If you don't mind what does the color matched bed like this run?

There are a lot of variables in pricing......best bet would be to contact Larry at Herrin Welding in Kilgore, TX. He can give you a quote on your truck and what you want in just a few minutes. I will tell you this, the CM bed that I looked at was cheaper.....but not by much and you get what you pay for!

Looks really good Randy. In fact, it looked so good when you originally posted the pictures I called Herrin and got a quote. Gonna have to make a side trip in the fall.
How much do you think it increased your storage by? I cant remember if you had a tool box on your original bed.

Larry;

I did have a cross bed UWS tool box on my previous bed. Currently my hauler bed has four compartments.....two that are 14" deep X 24" wide X 21.5" high on the front of each side and two that are 14" deep X 15.5" wide X 15.5" high at the rear of each side. I will be adding a box up at the back of the cab that will be 46" wide X 19" deep X 16" high. I need the utility box to mount my on board air system.

So.....to answer the original question.....everything I had in the cross bed box will fit in the compartments so storage without the utility chest is about the same....with the chest it will be almost twice as much. Still trying to figure out exactly where things will go! One option that Larry offers that I did not get, which I may regret, is the cross tunnel between the front compartments.....great place to store longer items or just more stuff.

Re: New Bed Installed

Thanks Randy. Any idea on how much weight the hauler bed added? I forgot to ask Herrin. Not worried just more curious
