K, calm down guys. The man was just trying to vent, and there's nothing worse than telling him to "quit whining". I could tell you to quit whining about the way he reacted but I'm not like that. So get off his case, let him vent if he wants. If you want to cork the vent, that's just a bitch move in my opinion. Though I don't the the suggestions reply was a bad one, the first one was. I completely understand why he's so pissed off at the first one. His reply was completely unecissary and solved nothing, just made him more pissed off at an already bad situation. Also, your replies didn't do a whole lot either. Ever heard "arguing on the internet is like the special olympics -- win or lose, you're still a retard"? Calling him out will do nothing but further his frustrations, so say it like this:
"I understand where you're coming from, I hate it when I feel helpless about getting something done. But there are several things you could do in the mean time." Like the second reply. Quit whining was just a dumb, and rude thing to say. His reaction was might have been a bit extreme, yes, but not completely unpredicted.
As for you (I forgot your name while typing this... so whoever is mad at his cussing), you could say "I understand the frustration, and completely feel for you, but it's not necissary to cuss someone out. Though his comment was out of line, doesn't mean it should throw you out of line, just let it slide, no biggy." You don't have to call him out and say now that someone acted like an asshole to him, and he reacted wrong, that people in his area aren't gonna help him out, because you're wrong. If I were in his area, sure I'd help him. So all around, everyone could have done something different. As far as the "stop whining guy"... this was HIS vent thread, next time you feel like stirring the pot, do it elsewhere. Don't cork the man's vent, that's just gay. Think it to yourself, but telling him he's whining does nobody any good. What'd you expect??? A "Oh... you're so right, I am just whining... thanks for showin' me that"... honestly...

--no cutting needed..if you just want a "skinny" flatbed,39" is about perfect to overlap the frame rails (34" wide roughly) by a few inches on either side!..if you let someone build a bed,it could be 500 bucks easy before its on the truck,at todays labor rates... 
You post up about all the other things your truck needs, so how about finishing up all your loose ends first? By the time you get the exhaust on, the engine running well, I think you needed body mount bushing, and the million other things you want done, then it might be cool enough outside to get your dad to help. 
and it really sux when a bolt drops and boucnes off the plywood i lands in the grass
