Hillbilly Pick Up Bed Part 1

I build a Pressure treated wooden flatbed for my 20+ year old Ford pickup. DIY wood truck flatbed. #f150 #farmtruck #woodworking #fordf150

I am doing this to a 97 F150 Lariat package. I am glad to have found this video.

[@OleYankeeFarm]

I hope my videos help

[@jakertheelaborater2573]

That looks amazing

[@MrSirPhase3]

You've done a nice job on the bed. I have an older 1989 Chevy Cheyenne with a rusty old heavy service box that i'm thinking about replacing with a wooden deck. These videos are really helpful. Much appreciated.

[@johndesjardins6089]

Great job, Shawn.

[@josephpollard2725]

Love to put a wood bed on my 07 Dodge Dakota. Can is good frame is good, Truck runs well. Do not know where Dodge got there beds from anyway, They always seem to rust somewhere.

[@OleYankeeFarm]

The late 90's Fords seemed to have the same issue. Thanks for the comment!

[@josephpollard2725]

They probably purchased the beds separate from Canada or Japan maybe even China. Save money 🤑 💰 years later you see the results.

[@jessphuqette1716]

Beautiful place and great looking livestock. Keep up the good work

[@GeoShep]

Great job I am planning on putting a wooden flatbed on my truck. Can you tell me when you cut out the rounded area for the tire, how much space did you have between the tire and the wood

[@OleYankeeFarm]

The cross beam I attached to the frame kind of set the height. The rounded cut out is just outside of the wheel and was level with the bottom of the cross beam. Hope this helps.

[@OleYankeeFarm]

Thank you for the Subscribe!

What did he use to temperately keep the lights on the bumper?

[@OleYankeeFarm]

The original lights were zip tied to the bumper.

[@idriveahemi]

7:07 let's just ignore the Big ass turkey in the back

[@onthehunt157]

So what's a round about cost? I'm thanking about doing it for my f250

[@OleYankeeFarm]

The bed and the sides is roughly $600

[@bobsmith-hd2hi]

[@bobbaker8715]

Do you remember what size lag bolts and how many?

[@OleYankeeFarm]

I did two lag bolts for each 4x4, I think they are 5/8 x 5”. I used the holes for the original bed and drilled holes for the short 4x4 that went between the wheels. Hope that helps. Thank you for the comment!

[@bobbaker8715]

@@OleYankeeFarm yes it helps thank you

[@caseyfaires9374]

Did you put the lag bolts in from the bottom or the top of the 4x4?

[@savethem59]

too Heavy!

Hello friend , love love love your modern Mr Haney style truck ( the guy from the TV show green acres from the 70's )🛻🚛🚚❤❤❤😮🫶✌️ ps- you should have turned your truck into a box truck , also did you ever check a junkyard for a truck bed or Facebook marketplace or your local Craigslist or eBay motors.????? hoping to hear back from you or someone soon thanks and God bless you always my friend , that truck would have looked way cool with a step side bed if you could have found one used and a sliding back glass window as well my friend TTFN- ( ta ta for now ) also I'm loving your beautiful and adorable black cat as well , what's it's name and what sex is it??????🐾🐾🐈‍⬛ Also you should have also made the bed a dump style bed too and a used lift gate style tail gate

[@OleYankeeFarm]

Thank you for the great comment! I use the truck for my farm and the wood bed has been a perfect fit. I did look in all the places you mentioned to no avail. My black kitty is Lewis and loves to hang out with me when I film my videos. Thanks again for the comment!
