Product Description
Bradford Built | Mustang Flatbed | Tube Headache Rack, 30K Gooseneck, & Maximum Deck Space
The Bradford Built Mustang is a highly competitive, functional choice for the ultimate ranch hand truck. Built with a "no frills, just function" philosophy, the Mustang features a specialized tube headache rack that takes up minimal space. This strategic design allows ample room for a range cube/cake feeder, dog box, aftermarket toolboxes, and more. If you need a relentless, budget-friendly flatbed that focuses strictly on getting the job done across the Treasure Valley, the Mustang is your ideal platform.
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 Mustang bed is built 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.

Our gooseneck hitch boxes also come standard with a convenient knockout for an additional truck plug. (Note: Drop or pintle hitches may alter specific capacities).
