It looks like the wheels are too far back for a bed. The prices ive been seeing are out of this world and totally unrealistic. > [@Deal of the Day: Employee Pricing means $10,000 off on 2008 Corvette Z06](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/deal-of-the-day-employee-pricing-means-10-000-off-on-2008-corvette-z06/53618/27): > > The F550 is going to have a minimum CA (cab to axle) of 60", you simply can’t get a cab & chassis truck with a shorter CA length. A longbox pickup bed has a 56" CA, so you’d have a 4" gap between the bed and cab with the wheels centered in the wheel well. Also, in addition to reworking the mounts, you’ll have to reroute the fuel filler, as the F550 will likely have the fuel tank behind the axle, whereas pickups have them in front of the rear axle. It can be done, but I’d rather have a flatbed than a pickup bed… What is the easiest and most profitable unit I can put on this thing? a dump bed? And what are the specs needed for anything to fit? > [@Oh look..another Honda](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/oh-look-another-honda/47899/82): > > did you see the wrecker bed I posted on FB? That would be good for picking up cars at the auction and scrapping junks I feel like those things suck and people would rather have a flatbed lol… If im not going to keep the truck I want to either A - sell it as is and let someone put whatever they want on it or B - purchase a cheap, but profitable body for it like a dump bed. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/thoughts-suggestions-help-on-this-new-truck-i-bought/267959)._
