I'm a newbie here so please put up with my ignorance. I'll learn.
At the ripe old age of 65 I begin to think I might live long enough that adding a third wheel might become a good idea. Trikes leave me cold. They probably work very well but my third wheel will be off to the side. What I'm considering is a flatbed. Can you steer me to anybody who makes them? My searching hasn't found anything.

Try Jay Giese at www.mysidecar.com. He sells two different bare frames. http://www.dmcsidecars.com/Sidecars/sidecar%20frames.htm
I'm sure he could whip up a utility body for you.
Ron Campbell made a flatbed to carry his scooter.

There was a guy who came to the Hayden Lake rally who had a nice flatbed. I'll look for a photo when I get back in the house on the other computer...
Several years ago, prior to my buying my rig, I had considered http://www.tow-pacinc.com/ It's not as elegant as my Escort, but is easily removable so it does allow 2 wheel travel. They have 2 models, the plain flat bed, "The Value Pack" and another with a box, much like a hard car top carrier, that they call "The Side Pack. Hit the products link and scroll down. They start around $2600, so the price isn't too bad.

Most flat framed sidecar chassis can be converted just by removing the body and fabricating a deck. The body can then be sold if desired to pay for the conversion.
