Started building a Carry All from 1/4" x 4" angle Iron and everything is done except for the bed of the implement. I don't know what to use; expanded steel or rough sawn White Oak. Probably go with the rough sawn Oak since I have a bunch of that left from two years ago. Neighbor and I saw up that stuff for our own use when we run low. Although I like the idea of a steel bed.

First thing that came to mind is 3/4" pwf plywood, but your RS oak for sure if it's sitting around. Stuff will fall through expanded steel, no?

This is another implement I need to get. Farm store has the frame for like $160 and I too will mill some white oak and build the bed.

Good afternoon.
If you will search under my name for carry all I had a post a while back on my build. Got a lot of ideas from the site before I built mine.
Used yellow pine and stained it, nothing I would change about my build.
Even added some wights I had laying around up under it for same extra ballast. I put filled 5 gallon buckets of cement in it when doing loader work.
Good luck.

I made the platform for my carry all from a cut down $2 pallet with some marine grade plywood on top. It's not permanently attached. I keep all my heavy equipment on pallets - so I can slip off the carry all platform and pick up everything else I have stored on ground level pallets!
My carry all is my most used implement.
I have one on my 1952, 12 speed Ford 8N and it has not been removed in 10+ years (aside from removal for service/repair). Inside the box are chainsaws, gasoline cans, hand tools, chains, clevis, etc., none of which is ever removed. The 8N/carryall is my quad.
I used a commercially available angle iron support with 3/4" exterior plywood for the front, floor and sides. Floor and front are 4x4 and sides are 4x2. I installed 2x2s inside the joints and across the top of the front board and the rear of the floor for strength. It's screwed together with drywall screws.
I've hauled tons and tons of rocks in it over the years, limiting the loads to around 700 lbs. Often I need to steer with the brakes or even travel backward to keep the front wheels on the ground.
In the 20+ years that I've used it, I replaced the plywood and 2X2s once.
Works great, and is not too heavy.

Ditto - my carryall is a pallet with plywood bottom and sides, so the frame is really just a 3pt pallet jack.
