Default Flat Deck for Pickup - Recommendations?

Just wondering if anyone has some advice on potential flat decks to replace to box on my pickup truck. I'm interested in something that has some tool boxes mounted in underneath. I will also want to ability to put sides on, either manufactured metal sides, or simple stake pockets that I can use to put wood sides on. Not sure if it matters, but it is an 8' box on a 2003 GMC.

I was hoping to find something used and in decent shape, but that doesn't seem all that easy.

Any recommendations on manufacturers or where to go shopping for one is appreciated.

I have a Hillsboro aluminum deck on my truck with under mounted tool boxes. It's nothing fancy, but it doesn't rust and doesn't need painted. I know a few guys that have made side rails that fit into the stake pockets and double as atv ramps. I love my deck and will be putting one on every new truck I buy.

If you've got the loot I'd look at one of those hydra decks.

For sure. I've used one for the last 15 years or so, wouldn't be without one.

Before you spend your bucks for new flat deck, check a nearest junk yard. A month ago I saw a couple descent ones at Calgary SE Pick-n Pull.
