[FC] Flatbed Ramp/ alternate?

[Merv and or Loretta]

I discovered that the bed in my 01 Silverado has a number of forms pressed
into the bed panels that will accomodate 2x4s or 2x6s in a number of
different configurations. Take a look at your local Chevy lot and make up a
similar rig that drops in to the lower area (and upper area!).... kewl!
