Helen Keller obviously taught you to build. That bed is more crooked than my ex wife

I love your build. Nice looking flatbed f150

👍👌

cool idea im gonna use some of your moves bro

Why not make it at least as wide as the truck cab ? ( Personally I would have made it 6 inches or so wider then the cab):

Nothing more fun than working on old car or truck back in little garage or outside it in a grassy area under an old tree with no one around to bother you.

I think the fire risk is very real. It would be like soaking some paper(wood) in diesel and oil and then wrapping it around a light bulb..... Id switch out the incandescent bulbs for LEDs. Much lower risk of fire and you wont have to replace them for a long time. Other than this I think it is great. Also the video is well made and fun to watch.

Nice backyard project, next time just do a little math and make all the boards the same width, cut them all down instead of only cutting the last 2 boards you installed. That left you with a 1” noddle board that screams I fucked up lol

Wonderful job with what you were working with. Im doing something similar this summer that is why I was looking up videos. It was nice to find one on the cheap and not using all new wood and straight stuff. Much like how I will be doing it. Thanks for the helpful video!!!

I’ve watched a lot of flat bed builds and this one is the best looking and probably the most practical one I’ve seen, usually they look like they weigh thousands of pounds or are 5 feet off the ground. Awesome job! 🎉

This is the last year for the bed on my 2002 Dodge Ram. I've been watching different videos and even got to see one today up close and personal. I believe I will sand and repaint the frame while I'm at it. Nice job and nice video.

Just finished your three part series. way way cool man

A darn good job my man (-:

Great Job! Simple and good-looking. I will design my box after yours

Why put such a large space in between the pieces of wood. Why not but them tightly together

I'm doing this with my 08 250 cuz the bed is shit. Thanks for making the video. I

Love it can you tell sizes of wood used please

Thanks it really help I have a 1988 Chevy s10 that I am go to turn flat bed

Looks awesome. Great video. Very inspiring. Especially like the inclusion of the toolboxes. Makes it look unique and obviously it’s very useful at the same time 👍 lots of ideas I can borrow 🤔🙂

Very creative! Definitely like the tail lights

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho 👍🏻

That is definitely the oddest rendition of stain ive ever seen. Looks like it woyld smell pretty bad.

Nice job, thanks for some tips

Getting those boards on the bed perfectly straight can be a pain in the ass. It's easiest if you've got a straight reference, like a chalk line on the first board. Then you make your way down the board with your screws, adjusting for bows in the wood as you go. Then you can measure the gap for the rest of your boards, or just eye it.

Are your going to make a Tailgate for it?

How has it held up? I built one and all the negative Nancy’s are going scorched earth telling me I’m a fool for building one, that it will just magically fall apart going down the highway and kill someone!!!!

not bad ...i have done it much the same way... it's a no budget build..love it

Thanks BROTHER. Much Respect From SUGARTIT, South Carolina. I watched all 3 Vids. Flatbed Truck looks Mean. About to Start Flatbed Build on My Ford Ranger

Nice job on the flat bed, Just curious if the bulbs for taillights burn the wood?

Man I watched the whole thing! I could not stop! Great build!!!! Simple and effective!

You are talented...please do another one!!! I like the fast forward then the real time reveale !! Feals like I'm just standing there watching you build it well done sir!

Thanks for sharing, I am in the process of doing just that and have an issue with the fuel filler neck. Not sure if I should lift the bed higher or run the neck through the flatbed portion and out the wall.

Pretty cool 👍

THanks for sharing your video. I have a Chevy 1500 I'm also changing over to a flatbed setup. I contemplated using wood, but was not sure what wood species to use. Apparently your build with common pine wood can do the job, probably at a better budget friendly price than other woods. Then I thought what wood preservative should I use, e.g. deck stain and seal. But your simple home made stain might again be just what I am looking for. Does the stain permanently set, or does it easily rub off, possibly contaminating things you carry on the bed, such as lumber, that you don't want to transfer the stain to? Can you estimate the cost in materials you used? And finally, what became of the toolbox and headache rack that you briefly show in the video? Did you mount the tool boxes on your truck? Thanks for a great video.

About to do this to a rusty 97 f150. What was it you used for the mounting bolt in the first video?

Thanks for this. Where did you find those light covers/lenses? What are they called?

good job bro. made it with basic tools.

What the measure

1:2?

So thats how its done. Thanks!

Looks great! Thanks

Wow, you are talented and fast! I work for an architect and do woodworking as a hobby. I like how you did the lights!

And he use a black and decker nice

Nice job. Did you have any trouble with the heat from the lights and the wood?

Nicely done sir

I like it 👍🏻✌🏻

I have watched life flash before my very own eyes

Definitely gonna toss this one in the saved folder...bout to drop the rusty bed off my 86 and build something like this. Nice work bud!

The bed is not wide enough.

This was very helpful to me I will use your ideas when I build my stake bed. Thanks.
