Hey Mike! Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement; glad you liked the calendar! Terrific job sorting out the custom box floor, and the trailer fenders look right at home once you filled the sides in... I am with you on the wooden floor too; it just looks right on these old pickups! All the very best as always from me and Miss Frankers...

[@rumrunner1756]

Just got to turn my calendar over to February. Love it! It really is professional quality.

Thanks again!

@@weirdbeard8898 Everything ok? It’s been over a month since your last dually video. I’m starting to twitch. 😂

[@richardoswalt1009]

Of course I watch you both and have for years, I don't understand why you don't have a million subscribers. Hang in there I'll be watching..

[@GrouchyGonZoGarage]

Wood will definitely be the finishing touch! This build is really coming together!

[@randyloomis2313]

Yup, it's gotta be wood. Might find some reclaimed wood for a good price. Have someone run it thru a planer.

[@seanspring8991]

Scott at ColdWarMotors is a classy fella. The "boogie van" is his paint job. The 60 Fury splice is my favorite. He's very humble, but that man can do some metal/painting/rebuilding junk motors that I've never seen anywhere else on KZbin. Nice shout out! This truck is coming along nice, and I prefer the look of a wood bed. Can't wait to see this project done!

[@weirdbeard8898]

Couldn't agree more!

Nice to see you back Mike.. I hope everything is well with you and the family.

All good. Thanks for checking

[@1979Malibuick]

Cold war motors is the best man! He's such a humble, decent human being! I am glad to know you have such good taste WB! My Stella dog is named after Frankers predecessor!

[@brianlundberg5163]

Diamond plate would add a little weight on the rear axle for somme traction .. but the wood definitely will look better. Thank you for sharing this journey. I've enjoyed it a lot!

[@markbracci1184]

Love this build! Wood plank flooring please!!!

[@Farbocaster]

Looks very good so far. The wheel wells and floor structure appear to be quite sturdy. I am looking forward to seeing the truck painted with a wood floor. It will be awesome. Keep up the good work! Also, thanks for telling us about Cold War Motors. (Happy Valentine's Day ❤ 💕 💖 💗everybody. )

[@bossdog1480]

Truck's looking great. Your patience and hard work is paying off I think wood is the way to go for the bed. 😁 Nice shout out to Scott Mike. I've been watching CWM for years, back before the Fury splice even. You and Scott are the best car channels on YT.

[@weirdbeard8898]

Thanks for supporting our channels

[@williammcguire3rd]

Always a good day watching Mr Weird Beard working his magic!! I have to agree with ya wood floors will look awesome in it!!

[@Roger-hq1yt]

Yep that plymouth fury they spliced together was epic, hard to believe even after watching it all!

[@weirdbeard8898]

Tons off work and very interesting to watch

[@user-fd4kn5eh2u]

Both Weird Beard and Cold War Motors are excellent channels, and if you are a motor head you need to feed your head, and you can't go wrong with both of these channels on your "subscribed" list.

Tryed to get brown points for guys with glasses long beards

[@jeaniepatterson2384]

Go with a wooden bed! This truck is so great! Love it. Can’t wait for the next!

[@weirdbeard8898]

That's the plan!

[@dmcars147]

Wood for sure! Good to see you back, feels like it's been a minute.

[@timgouine9844]

Wood bed is the best choice.

[@weirdbeard8898]

For sure

[@richlocker1458]

I think engineered plastic wood for the bed is a good choice. Tough for a work truck, maintenance free, and some of the newer products look amazing! Great job, as always!🇺🇸

[@rickrice3221]

Since you asked, Mike, wood bed all the way! Truck’s coming along great! Nice shout out for CWM - I subscribe to channels of people I’d like to hang out with: you, Scott, Dan at DD Speed Shop, Strong’s Garage, Shed by the Tracks. The projects may not all be something I’d own, but there’s always a lesson to learn, and it’s more entertaining than watching someone weld AMD panels to a rusty cowl…

Hello Mike, the bed really looks great, nice work. I like the idea of wooden floor. Take care and see you next time. 👍👍👍

[@weirdbeard8898]

Thanks, you too!

[@rumrunner1756]

Good to have you back. I love my calendar too. I’ve watched all of those vehicles coming together. The Fury looked like the impossible dream when it was two cars. 👍💯 wooden floor! Nice job leading up to it.

[@renoflames]

I watched Scott build the blue Plymouth he built that out of scrap cars from nothing. I have been subscribed to him a long time. Very long time.

[@weirdbeard8898]

It was a great build

[@markharris3753]

Love the truck. Definitely do the wood. Hope your scrapping Court case worked out

[@theroving1]

Impeccable! I couldn't grasp what you were doing to start with, then I had one of those 'Ahh' moments. Wish I had a tenth of the fabricating skill you have!

[@weirdbeard8898]

Wow, thanks!

[@hayneshvac2]

Old truck is looking good Beard...Love how those wheel well come together, they look amazing...Definitely go with the wood bed, I think it will set the look right off. Great video, thanks for sharing!!!

[@weirdbeard8898]

Wood bed for the win

[@mgmnfld3109]

That's shaping up to be one heck of a cool, one of a kind, truck. 👍

[@brianseeley7376]

That bed framing and the wheel wells look bad ass! I definitely think wood would finish it off perfect! Keep up the fantastic work!!!

[@Jon_2218]

Mr. Weird Beard_ Mike, you are my #1 go to KZbin channel. Always appreciate your inovative well thought out work along with your explanations, you're a highly skilled man. Look forward to the next video, wood flooring_ definite yes. Thank you for your time to share.

Great the truck is back, with your skill set Mike why on earth would you need to buy a C notch kit, great fabrication on the load bed indeed the whole truck so far and for me a wood bed floor will be perfect 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

Weird Beard this truck is going to be awesome. I do watch him like I watch you. He’s been waiting on your work on your Fury. He talked about it quite a bit on his channel. Great fabrication buddy on this bed. Still hoping and praying for a positive outcome on the scrap metal problem with the court. Thank you for sharing! 💯👍👊

Hello,nice to have a friendship with this old fella in Kanada and of course,take recycling wood,pine or okay from shipyards or old Houses,nicer and cheaper than new,restore wood looks fine for the deck, greetings from Germany.

[@oldfart83]

Another great video. As soon as I see you have posted another one "Drop what I am doing, no interruptions till done"...................................NH OLDFART

[@russmurphy7062]

If you can lay your hands on some red oak, that will look flat out good. Do a standard finish on it before you lay it in but definately some oak. The red is gorgeous when its got a good finish on it. The trick to getting it right is sand each layer of varnish or whatever you pick for a sealing coat. When you can get it thick enough, you can go on with a good wet sanding. Make the finish smooth as a baby's butt. I love the original idea for the truck. Working it out, as you go, is about the only way you could get this done. I hope you remembered Valentine's bro. Your wife deserves the best you can give her.

When my wood held moisture and was rotting the metal i took it out. I enjoyed the ability to work on it without it. a piece of plywood thrown down when needed worked for years:)

fabulous custom work WB...been enjoying the evolution of this truck!

[@pauloneill8912]

love your work, no messing just gets it done, thanks

[@lindanelson8400]

Mike, I am loving how the truck is shaping up. Wooden bed for sure. Anything else just wouldn't be true to the truck as it sets. You're going for that original look of a truck that's used regularly for work. So go back with wood. If you had gone with a flashy high gloss show truck paint job, then diamond plate, or something else could have been ok, but not this time. I haven't received notification of any new videos from KZbin in a long time. Have you been posting? Or am I just not getting notified? It's good to see a new video anyway.

[@ericnelson4841]

Diamond tread would look amazing in the bed, not to mention the durability it will have over the years...

[@michaelclutton8446]

Great to see another video, I always enjoy seeing your projects

Yes, coming together nicely. 😊

[@weirdbeard8898]

Thank you! 😊

[@spookggb]

Brilliant build, looking forward to seeing it finished. Maybe use weld through primer on the bare metal on the wheel wells...save you some work later and help to keep the dreaded rust at bay a little 👍

Bout time! Where have you been man?

[@kurtzxcvb3481]

I was like the looks of the wood beds to make it a work truck with bed because stand it with used motor oil and use some rough cut wood if you don't someone who has a mill has some dried out would look really cool
