Bedrock Truck Beds and Ford Super Duty trucks are one of the most common combinations you’ll see on Texas ranches, construction sites, and oilfield service routes. Bedrock’s heavy-gauge steel flatbeds — the Diamond Series, Granite 9G, and skirted models — are engineered to handle the payload capacities Ford’s F-250 through F-550 lineup offers. Here’s how Bedrock beds fit Ford trucks.
Bedrock Models and Ford Fitment
| Bedrock Model | Best Ford Fitment | Primary Use Case | Price Range (Installed) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bedrock Diamond Flatbed | F-250/F-350 SRW (60″–84″ CA) | Ranch, contractor, lighter hauling | $3,400–$5,500 |
| Bedrock Granite 9G Flatbed | F-350/F-450/F-550 DRW (84″–108″ CA) | Commercial ranch, heavy contractor, oilfield | $4,200–$7,500 |
| Bedrock Skirted Flatbed (Hay Bed) | F-350/F-450 DRW (84″–108″ CA) | Hay/bale hauling, ranch transport | $3,800–$6,500 |
| Bedrock Platform Flatbed | F-450/F-550 chassis cab (84″–132″ CA) | Stake side work, loose load containment | $4,500–$7,200 |
Ford Super Duty Cab-to-Axle Reference
Selecting the correct Bedrock bed starts with your Ford’s cab-to-axle (CA) measurement. Here’s a quick reference for common Ford Super Duty configurations:
- F-250 Regular Cab 8′ bed: ~68″ CA — Bedrock Diamond 7’–8′ fits well
- F-350 Crew Cab SRW: ~60″ CA — Bedrock Diamond 7’–8′ flatbed, or lighter Granite 9G on SRW
- F-350 Crew Cab DRW: ~60″ CA — Bedrock Diamond or skirted hay bed on 8′ deck
- F-450 Crew Cab DRW: ~60″ or 84″ CA — Bedrock Granite 9G on 8’–9′ deck
- F-550 Chassis Cab DRW: 60″, 84″, 108″ CA options — full Bedrock commercial lineup
At Star Truck Equipment in Wharton, TX, we measure your specific Ford before ordering — factory CA can vary by cab style, build date, and trim level. Proper measurement prevents overhangs and ensures your gooseneck hitch aligns correctly.
Bedrock Diamond vs Granite 9G on Ford Trucks
Bedrock Diamond Series
The Diamond is Bedrock’s entry-level flatbed — still heavy-gauge steel, still built tough, but at a more accessible price point. It fits well on F-250 SRW and F-350 SRW/DRW for ranch and general contractor work. Standard features include a rear bumper, LED lights, and gooseneck receiver cutout.
Bedrock Granite 9G
The Granite 9G is Bedrock’s flagship commercial flatbed. Built with heavier-gauge 9-gauge steel (most competitors use lighter 10-gauge or higher), the Granite 9G is designed for F-350 DRW through F-550 chassis cabs. If you’re doing heavy commercial work — oilfield, pipeline supply, construction materials hauling — the Granite 9G is where you want to be. Expect it paired with a Ford F-450 or F-550 for maximum payload performance.
Popular Bedrock + Ford Builds in Texas and Louisiana
- Ford F-350 DRW Crew Cab + Bedrock Granite 9G — The go-to South Texas ranch truck combo. 8’–9′ deck, gooseneck receiver, headache rack, powder-coat finish. ~$52,000–$68,000 total (truck + install)
- Ford F-450 DRW + Bedrock Granite 9G — Heavy contractor build. Higher payload rating over F-350, longer CA options, works well with underbody toolboxes and pipe racks.
- Ford F-350 DRW + Bedrock Skirted Hay Bed — Texas ranch hay hauler. Skirted sides protect bales from wind at highway speeds. Common on cattle and hay operations from Wharton to the Hill Country.
- Ford F-550 Chassis Cab + Bedrock Platform — Commercial flatbed for stake side work, loose material hauling, and landscaping operations. Longer deck, higher GVWR.
Why Texas Buyers Choose Bedrock on Ford
Bedrock’s heavy-gauge steel construction holds up especially well in Texas work environments — heat cycles, caliche dust, ranch chemicals, and Gulf Coast humidity. The powder-coat finish resists rust without the additional maintenance that a painted bed sometimes requires. (We do not carry galvanized beds; all Bedrock beds at Star Truck Equipment are powder-coated.)
For Louisiana buyers, powder-coat is particularly important — the salt air and high-humidity environment along the Gulf Coast accelerates surface rust on lesser finishes. Bedrock’s thick steel + powder-coat combination is a solid choice for coastal operations.
