    Hello everyone my name is Tristan and I’m located in AZ! I just bought my first tundra this last week, it’s a 2006 Access Cab with 4x4 and it came with a flatbed. My plan is to convert it back to a regular short bed instead of the giant flatbed currently on it and was wondering if anyone had any tips on that process! I have been looking at dimensions and it looks to me that any short bed from any 1st gen tundra should fit, wondering if anyone could confirm this? Thanks in advance!

    Yep, any access cab bed from 00-06 should be good to go.

    At first I thought you had "bed stacks" like some diesels and semi-trucks! Then I saw it was just the cabside rack of the flatbed! Lol

    I like the truck as is btw

    Can you see how the flatbed is mounted to the frame?

    I own a 2000 Tundra, with a short bed looking for a flat bed if you’re willing to trade?
