Why Bull Head?
Bull Head manufactures the Toughest, Best Fitting Aluminum Truck Beds on the market. Our beds are built with only the best materials for superior strength and appearance. If you are planning on buying a truck bed, please BEWARE of what you a buying. Make sure you are getting what you’re supposed to!
Watch Out for These Things:
Bull Head Products builds a 100% Aluminum Bed
We Do NOT build a Steel Subframe and place an Aluminum Skin (or Body) on top of it. This defeats the purpose of an Aluminum Truck Bed. Most manufacturers do this. They do it to keep it cheap. The steel subframe THEY use will usually Rust Out because it is not prepped well to begin with. Even if powder coated, we’ve seen them rust out because the powder coat chips off. Furthermore, if you are towing, the Gooseneck Hitch and Receiver Hitch are built into this subframe which means you a pulling on a subframe – NOT the Truck Frame itself.
This subframe can rust away and cause the hitches to pull out. This is very dangerous! Additionally, the Newer Truck Frames on the market are making it harder to mount the bed subframe good and solid because of the way they are made.
Bull Head Products uses a 1″ Thick Steel Plate for our Gooseneck Hitch and our Receiver Hitch is made of 1/2″ Steel Side Arms and 4″ x 1/4″ wall Crosstube. The Hitches are mounted Directly to the Truck so that you are Pulling on the Truck Frame – Just Like a Tractor Trailer Setup.
You may pay a little more for our product, but this is the Strongest, Most Reliable, Safest, Setup you can buy.
• Some competitor’s beds are a “universal” fit with a bolt on Head Board and Tail Board. Bull Head Beds fit Your Truck Specifically.
• Some beds have very thin frames that will cause the bed to flex and possibly collapse. If the bed has folded (formed) crossmembers, stay away from it. It is weak!
• Others will claim to use certain materials (thicknesses and alloys) that are false. For instance, some claim to use a 3/16″ Diamond Floor Plate ….. But, they add the the Diamond height as part of the thickness. This is NOT True Thickness!
Also, Aluminum Alloys are NOT all the same. Some are Stronger than Others (sometimes up to 200% Stronger) If you don’t know what you a looking at, you can be misled very easily. Beware!
• Check the crossmember spacing. We use 12” centers or less which gives 10 crossmembers on a 9’ bed. Other beds may only have 5-9 crossmembers for a 9’ bed.
• Less expensive beds may also be spliced together to save money — i.e. the floor plate may be offset and other panels will not be “one” piece. You will never find this characteristic in a Bull Head truck body.
BEFORE YOU BUY make sure to ask the manufacturer questions about your bed. Bull Head Beds are “beefed up” and built to last. Please call or email for any questions.
