I saw the perfect bed for hauling gooseneck trailers at the sale yesterday. Man had an F350 with a wrecker bed, but no boom, of course. Bed was solid where they are normally cut out for the boom. The GN ball was right over the axle where it should be, but the bed ended just right behind the rear wheels. I guess for a wrecker you cut the frame off right behind the shackles. You could stand to the side or the back either one, and reach to uncouple the GN, plug up lights etc, standing flat footed. I doubt it was much over 5' from the cab to the end of the bed. Plenty of room between the back of the bed and the front of the trailer. It was aluminum, too. Much shorter than a cowboy bed. I started looking online for one today. Sure would make life easier if my truck had one of these.
