If PPL rule writers had any brains, they would write it something like this:

Commercially available flatbeds are legal. However, custom flatbeds fabricated specifically to create a weight advantage (i.e., significantly lighter than the OEM bed) will be required to run 200# over the center of the rear axle. Final decision lies with the head tech inspector.

This keeps someone from building a carbon fiber flatbed that weighs 20 lbs (inevitable in 2.6).
