DIY How to build a truck bed cover

[@yammer123]

very impressive and thank you for the tips, a mediocre cover costs 500 plus 10 percent tax in Los Angeles, IF YOU want quality it goes to close to 950+ then tax.... thank you!

[@blademaster2701]

I have plans on making a bed cover for my ‘59 ford truck.

[@wednesdaychurch8965]

This is actually a really great idea, and looks pretty darn good too. Thanks for posting the video

[@robinkuruda5249]

Good to go now, also the first one is the learning curve, now I can take your idea and tweak it !!

[@qualitylandscapeandhauling7710]

Thanks for doing this video.It looks cool . A new one goes for $500 and up. I will do one for my truck bed. Thanks !

[@jameslee522]

Thanks

I'm going to try this, but use a black vinyl as a cover.

[@rigocastaneda8615]

Use black vinyl all you need is a heavy duty staple gun

[@1ggssxxrr]

I like it a lot!

[@johnsellers2999]

Nice job,but I think instead of the plastic you're gonna have to replace all the time ,I would have used some water proofing urathane and maybe paint. But it looks good and your way keeps the price down.

How is the bed cover holding up after 5yrs?

[@dimefever1006]

Wonder if bed liner would hold up to the elements.

[@Vyraxis]

about to build a flush mount bed cover for my obs flareside. been watching these trying to get ideas. im gonna use bedliner as the paint for it and just need some ideas on how to make it water tight without it sitting on the bed rails

[@jameslee522]

maybe mount C channel and let the cover sit on top of the C channel. Then any water that runs off the side of the cover, runs into the C channel. Then the C channel can drain out the back.

[@erichernandez4274]

Great job I plan on doing this to my c10. Might try one for my 08 silverado.

[@jameslee522]

+Eric Hernandez Thanks! It worked out great for my trip.

[@flyonawall6521]

how about low profile black office carpet ? pretty cheap at Home Depot or Lowe's.

[@verinb9]

Give this man a 🍻! 👍

Hinges, vinyl, glue, locks, ✅

[@ashg4045]

I think a coat of epoxy would be slick.

[@RideWithTheWolf]

Nazir yes, why not do it with a nice laminated top and polyurethane it?

[@davidguajardo9860]

you should put bed liner

[@iroczjustride4596]

great idea bro...

[@vondahartsock-oneil3343]

jameslee522 to hell with any nay sayers. I'm gonna guess your not a carpenter by trade? Good, me either lol. I am looking do build something similar, only I want the sides cab high. Basically a DIY Camper Shell. I had no idea where to start. I've come down to the DIY project instead of searching for hours and days and now it's been a year I've been online looking for something. Then when I find it, I usually can't afford it. This gives me ideas and really REALLY YOU helped ME out a lot with your project. Thanks for posting your project. OH, like your...mine is for a temporary use as well.

[@Camperhollow]

That's not bad for something that cheap.

[@rogerdavidhuff]

Fiber glass it

[@costcocard]

Fill the seam in with caulk then wrap it up oh man I know it's serious but my 10 year old mind is cringing hard haha

[@costcocard]

Screw it in aha 2:12-2:24

[@greentwinturbobeast]

Nah..will weigh too much with all those 2x4s.

[@JaredThorlakson]

This video was obviously not made in 2021. Piece of plywood costs more than a truck... lol.

[@jameslee522]

I would hate to see how much this would cost right now. A 2x4 stud is close to $10

[@hernilsoriano4873]

Nice built....

[@jameslee522]

thank you

[@LukeLGK]

Very cool! Better than paying $1000.00 and still getting your stuff stolen!

[@bnicholasvideo]

Is that black plastic, as in the same type of plastic that is used for garbage bags?! For real?!?!

[@jameslee522]

No it's thick. Like stuff that would be used in construction.

[@lucky2knight]

You didn't go into too much detail. Useless to me...

[@jameslee522]

Are you looking for a cut list?

[@TheLexiconDevils]

$35? yeah you can tell LOL whats wrong seppo you scared of a welder??!?

[@georgenettlesjr1466]

that's a good idea!
