with all of the 404 mogs that get turned crawler trucks, finding an original bed with drop sides should be no problem. Put a want ad on the exchange, pirate, and contact the west coast vendors. Much easier than making your own, been there.....

Congrats on the new mog! Depending on what you are wanting to use your mog for will decide on what kind of bed you want. I am finishing up the bed on my 404.115 and I went a different route than most. I wanted to maintain as much clearance as possible with as good of a departure angle without looking like a "rockmog". I wanted the mog to look "stockish" from the side, with the capability of all the "rockmogs". I was actually able to source some 1x3 tubing from work for a good price (free) and fabbed up a bed that almost as wide as the cab. I also angled the corners in the back for the tight trails up here in the northwest. Anyways take a look at the pictures I have attached and maybe it will inspire or maybe it will turn you in a different direction. I will post up some more current pictures tonight when I get home.
