To guarantee a flush fit, flatbed dimensions must match your truck's specific Cab-to-Axle (CA) measurement and rear-wheel configuration (Single Rear Wheel vs. Dual Rear Wheel).

|---|---|---|---|
| 7' 0" | 42" CA | SRW | Short Bed Pickup Box Delete (Single Rear Wheel) |
| 8' 6" | 56" – 58" CA | SRW or DRW | Long Bed Pickup Box Delete (Single or Dual Rear Wheel) |
| 9' 4" | 60" CA | DRW / Commercial | Standard Commercial Cab & Chassis Framework |

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Spartan different from skirted flatbeds like the Viking?
The Spartan is an unskirted, open-platform flatbed featuring perimeter rub rails and stake pockets. This drops dead weight and leaves the underbody open, giving you maximum flexibility to add custom undermount toolboxes or specialty equipment. Skirted beds like the Viking incorporate built-in, flush underbody toolboxes with smooth side body skirts.
Can I add side rails to the Spartan flatbed?
Yes. You can drop standard 2x4 lumber or custom rack stakes directly into the perimeter stake pockets, or upfit heavy-duty hinged fold-down side rail kits that lock upright during transit and fold flat for forklift side-loading.
Are Spartan beds compatible with factory backup cameras and parking sensors?
Yes. When installed at any Riverside Trailers service bay (Blackfoot, Jerome, or Caldwell), our service technicians utilize camera relocation harnesses and drill precise mounting ports in the rear apron to retain your factory backup camera and parking proximity sensors.
Does the Legend X Spartan come with a gooseneck hitch standard?
Yes. Every Spartan bed comes equipped from the factory with a standard B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch rated at 30,000 lbs. It sits completely flush when inverted, leaving your center floor area wide open for gear or cargo.
Can I order a custom color to match my truck?
High-Gloss Black is our standard, primary stocked finish across all locations. Custom paint-to-match finishes are available via Custom Order only. Because custom paint runs require factory scheduling, please call our sales team to verify exact color matching and build lead times.
Why does Legend X use structural steel channel instead of roll-formed steel?
Solid 4" structural steel channel frame rails provide far superior torsional strength, deck sag resistance, and internal rust defense compared to cheaper, thinner roll-formed steel runners that can twist under heavy loads.
Where can I get a Spartan Steel Flatbed installed?
We offer professional in-house installations at all three Riverside Trailers service locations in Blackfoot, Jerome, and Caldwell, ID. Visit www.riversidetrailers.com to contact your nearest branch or schedule an upfit appointment.
