Horizon VLOG #19 | Building Walls for Truck Bed

[@anthonybattle7258]

I'm going to use this video to do the sides on my 2001 silverado this was an awesome do it yourself video thanks for sharing 👍

[@ferzito63]

Bro how was it? I’m doing this to my 2001 Silverado. This video is super dope🙏🏽

[@1manstreasure234]

yea how was it I have a 2001 Silverado also

[@jeeprubicon6650]

Great job my man. I’m glad you used strong screws. My motto is, if you’re going to do something, you may as well over do it!

[@Mattsoffgridliving]

I thought this was very helpful and may use your technique to do the same with my truck. I’m not in the trade that you are but this will become useful to me for cutting up fallen trees on back country roads for firewood. Thanks for sharing.

[@mauricioe6013]

Looks great. I’m about to do a similar build. Thank you for sharing, lots of good insights and ideas.

[@davereade8939]

Nicely done! I'm planning on building these for my truck. Thanks for the video!

[@HorizonLMG]

You're welcome..Glad you liked it!

[@eddiebrown3810]

Great video installing my sides after Thanksgiving good for scrapping peace and blessings to you and your family

[@matthewpanana2584]

Just bought a pick up n needed a rack, their it is. Thanks for this awesome idea. Don't cost much n easy to put together. Ur the BOMB BRO!!!!

[@vontinkles]

Looks great .. Nice job!

[@835UltiMag]

Nice job! I like the way you did the opening for the window

[@HorizonLMG]

835UltiMag thank you. It works out perfectly. The only thing I would add is slots on the side walls so I can see when making a turn and also so I can see my blind spots when changing lanes.

[@anthonybattle7258]

yes me too

[@cleancutslawncare]

@@HorizonLMG what kind of slots?

[@stevenw76]

Damn that turned out nice! You're a good craftsman. I do plan to paint mine and I want the front half to have hinges & latches for a gate for loading (I plan to haul garbage bags)

[@dellingerize]

I was looking for a temporary rig for our leaves to take to the dump in the fall but your's I must say is quite complete and ideal for a temporary fix. Great job! I will take some ideas from it for a simpler version of mine. Thanks!

[@HorizonLMG]

Gus Dellinger that’s awesome Gus! Glad there was something of value in the video for ya!

[@tylerk.7947]

Instead you should make a compost bin and just pile your leaves up and let them compost!

[@sodapopjones2515]

That truck can maybe fit 2 yards of mulch then now Maybe 4.but good job.

[@frankcardamone1183]

You're almost perfectly correct. The truck could hold 3 yards of mulch before the walls, and can hold 4.5 yards with the walls. Thanks for your like and comment!

[@ramonperez6767]

Looks good Bro.Nice job.Thanks.

[@RiverValleyAcres]

I knew I’d find someone on KZbin that had the same idea as me!! I want to be able to haul more firewood!

[@kengutierrez481]

Great vid! Keep going overkill on things we learn more that way!

[@robertrodrigurz4618]

awesome job and great skills.

[@HorizonLMG]

Thanks a lot Robert! I appreciate the comment! Please be sure to Sub!

[@kellytrees]

Good job bro and your attitude is great.

[@lequantolbert2699]

Excellent work. You should be a carpenter too. professional cuts

[@HorizonLMG]

LeQuan Tolbert well thank you very much!!!

[@B.o.n.g.o-m1g]

Super nice job! 👌 I'm inspired. Mine likely won't look as good though. Function over form 😂

[@JesusRamirez-gh6em]

Great Job Man!😉👍🏼

[@frankcardamone1183]

Jesus Ramirez thanks buddy!

[@jaredwatchman7333]

Thanks for the idea. I've been wanting to make removable side walls for my truck bed. I do wood hauling/selling, and sometimes it's a cord, but hard to do without the walls.

[@tylerramdog8697]

Thanks for the video. My next weekend project!

[@mbangelo7040]

Great Job!!

[@OpieDogie]

Great job!! Back in the olden days those were called “stock racks”

[@HorizonLMG]

Awesome! I didn't know that...thanks for sharing!

[@kidringo1257]

Cool video. I do landscaping as well, and have reached the point i need to build these as walls on my F150. Im just going to leave my posts long and drill holes to secure a tarp over the much or debris....nice!

[@DRIBBLES2500]

YOU could have a welder try and fabricate something for you

[@woods702]

Very nice job looks good

[@billwalker790]

Side boards have been around for decades but forgotten , bringing them back is great and Fancy wood work can make them a very attractive addition

[@edshultz9760]

Sir You did a good job!👨🏻‍🔧 I could not have done it any better myself. Mine would have looked like 💩! God Bless.

[@hmayor3745]

how heavy is each side wall? I want something removable and not to heavy to remove.

[@romanroman5573]

Bro that looks really good man

[@HorizonLMG]

Thanks a lot Roman!

[@bronsonkibler6485]

Nice work. Very helpful

[@markschmaus5580]

Looks awesome! Very professional looking!

[@danstraiton1077]

How did you cut the openings so clean on the plastic liner. You cut them so perfect

[@frankcardamone1183]

Dan Straiton razor knife. It’s pretty thin in those areas because Chevy knows you’ll eventually need to cut them out. They were already traced out where I needed to cut. So I just cut along the line with the razor knife.

[@joeysilver3232]

Good work!!

[@roywhipple4923]

Looks great the only thought I have is you could put a small swinging gate just above the the tailgate so that you have an enclosed box and non of your mulch will fly out the back, plus you can stack bags of recycling full truck bed style , if you ever do recycling you could make 300$ a trip off of plastic bottles and cans with a full truck bed pretty easily.

[@saltysax81]

Great video bud , 6 years later , is there anything you would do differently?

[@F479999999999]

Good job bro!

[@josephatopnotchgeneralcont92]

It’s awesome job impressed

[@HorizonLMG]

Ruban ATN thank you!!

[@windellscott2618]

Windell, Lawn & Order special grass unit you took my idea 💡. Looks great good job are you going to put something on the back?

[@sgtmoose1942]

Thanks for the vid. I'm about to make a set of these for my truck. I got a deal on some plastic decking material and am gleaning info off the interwebs to see how people have made these. I am planning on countersinking the bolts so they don't stick out into the bed area.

[@guyh.4553]

Very nice. Hit it with some Sparthane & it'll look great! Just a thought, as I know that it'd probably happen to me, maybe countersink those bolts so you don't catch your body & scrape the #!$* out of ya. 😆😆😆 Your build is all well & great but do you have any ideas for those of us w/o stake pockets? It's one thing I can't stand about new pickup designs. Again, very nice!

[@DadsGotADeal]

Looks great!

[@HorizonLMG]

Thank you very much!

[@lucky2knight]

Looks great. I wanted to see how it looked stained or painted black.

[@KeeponTruggin]

Thank you for this good video

[@salalochino2978]

Nice job!bro

[@artymunoz5060]

Heck yeah man. Thank you

[@takeschances]

Hey great video love the work u did here looking forward to get mine done this weekend . Now questions, with the cut how long u think is that 2x4 including what Inside the hole? And the side are 1x6x8 ? Thanks it help me if I get that info.. thanks in advance

[@mrgrivers1]

I like what you've done. functional and it looks good. Myself I would stain it. And I would not have used the self-tapping screws on the post holes. Holes are provided for a reason. Washers and bolts would have done fine.

[@noelrosario2885]

How would you put in a bolt and washer in there’s no room in the hole

[@bobt9903]

Would you happened to have a matl list, your came out really good, we have a lawn service also and are wanting to do the same for more volume

[@HorizonLMG]

Bob T yep. Pretty simple. You’ll need 4 2x4s, 1 piece of plywood, 8 e-trac shelf brackets, and 2 4’ sections of e-trac. Then of course self tapping screws and drywall screws.

[@bobt9903]

@@HorizonLMG Thanks and keep up the good work

[@vickit9752]

@@HorizonLMG where's the etrac? I missed it

[@HorizonLMG]

@@vickit9752 the etrac was purchased at harbor freight...2 5 foot sections. I think they were $30...its been a couple years, so I can't remember exactly.

[@Miguel_Flowers]

Excellent video, looks great! Stupid question: does someone sell the stakes to fit in the bed? Or is shaving a 2x4 the only option?

[@thatilluminati_3421]

Depending on your truck 2x3s might fit with no modifications. On my f150 i had to shave 1/4 inch off a 2x3 to make them fit well. I used cedar 2x3s and 8 foot cedar fence planks on mine.

[@jacksonroad9263]

Just wondering you are using nuts and bolts to assemble the walls but the actual posts you are using small screws? Plus made holes instead of using the existing hole which you could of used.

[@thetinyacres8184]

Looks great 👍🏻 thinking about doing to my dodge. Needed 💡 ideas, thanks.

[@ChaBarry]

Nice, thank you.

[@kriss1769]

Great vid the only thing I would change is the screws. I think dry wall screws rust.

[@HorizonLMG]

Yes, you are correct...they do rust. But, knowing that these walls will only be on my truck whenever I need them and not all the time, I just went ahead and used them because they are quick to zip in and out. It only takes me about 5 minutes to put on and take off...when I'm not using the walls, they are leaning against the wall in my garage. Thank you for the comment, and if you haven't yet, please subscribe! Thanks again.

[@fishingismydrug1]

Replace the drywall screws with screw's rated for treated wood. The chemicals in that wood will eat those screws. Otherwise, nice build! Simple and effective.

[@allanarango1047]

Wow man very impressive thanks man

[@stanwalsh8817]

Cool....starting my own project soon....great help ..thank's

¡muchas gracias! Lo aprecio.

[@JamieMac203]

Looks good to i might do this to my 99 k2500 , no particular reason other then its looks awesome

[@serviceproper]

Mind sharing the size “self tappers” since ya left that out?

[@ravallejo1987]

What do you do for the back to keep stuff from falling out the back?

[@kotosquito]

What do you think of the idea of putting the vertical supports on the exterior, so that if you are hauling branches they don't get hung up on the vertical ones as you try to shove them in? Ditto the bolts--if the rounded head is on the inside, while the bolt and nut on the outside, things can't get hung up on the latter as you try to shove them in the bed.

[@AR-pi1wy]

Are you doing a door for the tail gate ? I love the idea and I’m going to copy you. But I want a door on the tailgate

[@JoshNoss]

The stake holes in my 97 Ford ranger are only 1.75" × 1.5" and there's only 4 of them.. don't seem that would allow a strong enough piece of lumber to be put in there to support the rails and to hold a load of firewood

[@olegariovaldez4547]

Nicely done, are you doing a gate on the rear of the rails?

[@takenotes_imthe1]

do you live next to boston so you can do mine like that. thats the best i seen so far

[@jplandscapeservices4906]

Nice video men

[@HorizonLMG]

Jp Landscape Services thanks a lot!

[@chrisrafter9411]

It would be nice to install a tarp kit on the back of the truck! Just from experience. Looks great! I appreciate you explaining everything!

[@HorizonLMG]

chris rafter yes. We do have a burlap tarp that is bolted to the front of the bed and lays over our debris and use carabeeners to secure the other end of the tarp to the back hooks of the bed.

[@5gammonson5acres51]

I'm looking for a solution to my issue of taking my livestock (pigs, goats) to the butcher. I'd love to use this idea. Do you think it would be easy to add a gate that can open and close above the bed of the truck to keep in livestock?

[@HorizonLMG]

5 Gammons on 5 acres hmmmm. That’s a good question. I don’t think it would be difficult at all. You could add the gate to the back or the side. You would just need to add hinges. I would add the gate at the back above the tailgate. Add two heavy duty barn door hinges on each side and have the gate open like a barn door (one to each side). That’s just how I’d do it.

[@Unspeakablestudios.com.]

I AM GOING TO DO A SIMILAR THING FOR TRUCK CAMPING. THANK YOU FIOR THE VIDEO.

[@ZexMaxwell]

I like this design better then the plywood method. hopefully wood is better priced now. (HA!)

[@JamieMac203]

How long are the carriage bolts , 4 inches?

[@car24dude]

Good job, but I would have use metal, and expanded steel on the sides.and back to glass.

[@alfredosolano6469]

What did you use for the window? How did you install that part? Thank you in advance.

How are the rails holding up?

Paul Peterson they’re holding up great. I burn-sealed the treated wood for look and added protection from the weather. They are as solid as they were on day one! Thanks for the comment!

[@chrismoo5387]

Do you keep tools inside truck

[@HorizonLMG]

Nope. If I ever have to leave tools on a job site, or take tools with me, I'll either leave them locked on the jobsite somewhere, or take the home and unload them each night. Nothing to keep them safe from being taken if I were to leave them in the truck.

[@josesoliz3519]

What size bolts did you use and what size drill bit?

[@DRIBBLES2500]

Well built but you need a tool rack for hand tools other then that sweet.

[@HorizonLMG]

Chris oshaughnessy I have the hand tool racks on the inside of my enclosed trailer. I need to keep my truck bed clear so I can fit all the tree branches, bush clippings, etc. But yeah, I know what you mean.

[@willyd1127]

Nice!!!

[@swabyjunk8548]

What size screws did u use?

[@HorizonLMG]

Peter Smith they are 2.5” drywall screws and 3” carriage bolts.

[@acfuller86]

Wouldn’t it make sense it the manufacturers just made it so a 2x4 would fit without cutting?? 😂

I could have easily watched this video free falling out of an airplane and felt no difference. Thanks for the tinitis

At 3:15 the paddle is much different. In school we have homework, but at extra lessons at home-homework. I didn’t want to do my home-homework. Dad ask if I wanted to do my home-homework or a spanking. I was thinking he is giving me a choice, and a spanking is much faster, be done in 5 seconds. I answered him, that I wanted a spanking. WRONG ANSWER!! He gave me both.

[@josenajera280]

Back Door swing rail gate will be nice to see

[@joshc3134]

How much did it run you in material? Also- how is it holding up since April?

[@HorizonLMG]

Josh's Lawn Care it cost about $75 from Lowe’s and they are holding up perfectly. Still strong and sturdy!!

[@joshc3134]

Horizon LMG - Thanks for the quick reply. I have an 8ft bed I’m going to try and put this together today. Any tips or anything you forgot to put in the video? Also are those 4.5 in bolts?

[@HorizonLMG]

Josh's Lawn Care yes!!! There is a couple things I’d do differently. Call me at the number on my truck. Easier to explain on the phone.

[@georgevasquez3428]

You're the best

[@skapunkoialternativeliving6522]

I think we did a great job I'm doing something similar like that to my pickup because if you have to buy a back for that you might not much money will cost you to $3,000 on the dollar thanks to you I'm going to do something similar...

[@trinchezito1383]

Wood is so expensive now lol

[@retiredoldsarge5938]

Hopefully if anyone else is using PRESSURE treated Make sure it is Painted or your ALUM truck pockets etc. are painted and the Pressure Treated wood against ALUM is not a good idea. The Alum will corrode from it. Learned that from making decks for a Alum Jon Boat.
