Good solid build. Anything worth doing is worth over doing. The truck will be dead long before the bed.

If there’s anyone out of weld school or helping, I graduated weld school a year ago , went from working in the gulf on oil rigs to doing fabrication in night clubs all within the year, a opportunity arouse for me to weld structural but I needed a machine I’m renting one right now till I have enough to buy , but you can do a lot within a year really try to do everything you can, I set out to be a rig welder, I’ll weld anything to be a rig welder or single hand doing both is just fine, I haven’t tackled stainless pipe yet but its on the list, keep working it will happen.

[@JacobSchofield]

Love this advice thanks Logan!

[@chakeithamchenry5826]

Jake you a boss but you making me a monster. I get to learn from every video that comes out.

[@Allwaystravel22]

Love the fucking look of the front drop down box. 110% stealing that design! Can’t wait to see the bed done and getting that machine laid on her. Keep it up man! Also keep that mullet comin along

[@caydenmccollum3353]

Love seeing your bed build notifications pop on my phone!

[@scottstauffer1201]

Really enjoying this bed build. Can’t wait to see it done

[@jonathandevillez4040]

Should get some fireball tool squares and clamps to help hold your work square

[@davidspin5353]

Good video, as always! I once welded a piece of 11 gauge between the channels to the cab, put a door on it and could carry long pieces.

[@robertellis4188]

Killer build I love how the box behind the cab came out but I may be wrong I think the drawer will open up when you drive off

[@migueldayot3762]

coming together really well!!

[@Moltenmetalstud]

Howdy Jacob from Oklahoma !!, I really enjoy your videos and this bed build ! I have been kickin around building a new bed myself . Great craftsmanship ! And functionality ! Can’t wait for the next video !

[@pisom4314]

i see 1 flaw with this drawer.... if the latch/lock ever forgets to get shut there goes the drawer & most of the contents across the road & it only happens at the busiest intersections in town;-) DONT EVEN ASK HOW I KNOW!!!! LOL the bed is looking really good..i like the cross box alot & will prolly copy that on the truck im putting together now cause my frame is longer then the crane body i have!! thanks for sharing & be safe!! hope the family is doing great!

[@JacobSchofield]

Wait for part 4 it will answer your worry’s thank you though for the concern

[@DagoBoilermaker]

Killing it

[@robertmunoz11]

That is a nice box did you think about making and selling a build diagram i have a service truck that box would sure come in handy thanks another good video 🙏

[@drumtwo4seven]

LOVE IT GOOD STUFF 👍

[@LuisRamirez-xn4vf]

Bruh love the hidden drawer idea. Super sick .

[@JacobSchofield]

Thanks Luis! I hope it works out the way I think it will

[@garretrowley857]

Loving the build. I’m a High School welding teacher and we’re working on a flat bed this year for a gentleman. Is that 2”x.120 square you’re using for the cross members? I was going to use 3” channel but I’m trying to shed some weight on it.

[@johnkoury1116]

Steel is so daarn expensive . I just built a flatbed for my 2000 ranger after about three weeks of 2 hour welding days to rebuild the frame. I have had to source supplies from scrapyards in Eastern Pa.

[@toddgartshore1170]

This is a really cool build I'm enjoying watching you do it. Have you given any thought again of doing a landscape truck bed build to hold mowers,weed eaters, blowers, yard hand tools etc? Alot of the guys in my industry ( landscaping) are getting away from trailers and getting npr trucks with landscape beds. Just an idea. Stay blessed Jake!!

[@mikev.1034]

👍👍

[@melvinmariott8609]

That is what I was gonna do to my welding bed. But I got in a hurry to get it done an on the truck i left that part out an just put my pipe cradle on a slide out instead.

[@gford1491]

👍

[@mystery10man]

Curious if you will have a lock on the drawer?

[@chadkennedy529]

I've been looking for some heavy duty slides for drawers, whodid you scoop those up from? I bought a set from uline that were supposed to be good for 80 lbs but they were junk. Lookin good tho budd.

[@JacobSchofield]

Tha k you very much. Order them on Amazon I believe these where 22” sliders but I would probably do 18”

[@bobbynichols7159]

I got mine a Lowes the work great

[@herbertherbomoore415]

Where did you get that welding jacket from?

[@herbertherbomoore415]

Did you use mig, or fluxcore?

[@brandonanderson6429]

Question for you... aren't the main supports over the frame a C-channel? Couldn't you have made an almost full length drawer in those channels? Maybe I forgot how you built the frame.

[@JacobSchofield]

You definitely could of but the sliders would be hard to find.

[@brandonanderson6429]

@@JacobSchofield 44 mins for a reply... thanks, didnt expect that. If I build one, might use a U channel and then build some heavy duty rollers. Love watching your build. Keep up the good work.

[@dwarnermg]

What ever happened to the Canadian style box build?

[@stackumz]

Hey man I'm about to buy some tires, I'm watching this video I saw your tires in the beginning of the video and figured ask you what you think is a good tire to get into?

[@JacobSchofield]

I don’t really know my friend toyo is what I have been running but in my opinion they are junk tires. Falcon wild peak a/T have been pretty good tired and pretty cheap to wrap a truck. 1200.00 for 6

[@nelsonglass6]

How are you going to keep the water out when you drive down the road?

[@JacobSchofield]

There will be a gasket.

[@calvinfroisland4246]

Don’t know if I’d use that type of drawer slide in this application. One winter on wyoming roads and those suckers are gonna be seized up.

[@JacobSchofield]

Hence the reason we made it so they can be replaced.

[@Propman203]

Should have use ss nuts they won’t rust

[@JacobSchofield]

They are allot of things I should have done, but didn’t.

[@Propman203]

@@JacobSchofield tell me about that , I totally agree
