Really great build, and some awesome video work! A bit late to the party, but one tip I can share -- when you use large tubing for the cross-members like that, it pays big dividends to fill them with clean sand before you cap them off. It might not seem like much, but packing them full of builders sand with a cup of oil thrown in.... tremendous difference! The sand adds just a bit of weight over the rear tires, making the ride a lot smoother even when the bed's empty. Better traction year round, smoother ride when you hit bumps, and the oil prevents the tubes from rusting from the inside out. On 3x3 tubing, it'd be no problem to have a couple hundred pounds of sand right over your rear tires.
@metaspencer3 жыл бұрын
What a great idea. In a million years I wouldn't have thought of trapping sand that way, and it would be a real asset. Fortunately with this flatbed, I added tool boxes to the bed so carry considerable weight back there (and a dump trailer 90% of the time). Thanks for the tip!

@threeriversforge19972 жыл бұрын
@@kmoss9521 I hope you find the idea useful. In the blacksmithing world, we fill tubing with sand and oil all the time just because it deadens sound and adds weight to our anvil stands. Nothing worse than hammering away only to have the legs on your anvil stand magnifying the sound! It's also great on power hammer spines because it absorbs vibration and helps keep the machine steady. Mineral oil works perfectly well, but if you have some used engine oil laying around... that's fine, too. Just be sure you weld solid because even single pinhole will let the oil out to play havoc with everything around it. It's extra work to cap both ends, sure, but it's worth it in the long run.

I have a 2002 F-150 with the itty-bitty 5’4” bed. You can’t even lay a queen size mattress in it. So I’ve been toying with the idea of putting a steal and wood flatbed on it. Something not too heavy cause it’s a F-150. This video and all the tips in the comments are very useful. God bless you sir’s for using KZbin correctly.

I want to make a flatbed out of it. 2" lift. bigger wheels and tires to improve looks and maybe mileage - bigger tires will change the gear ratio for better mileage I hope. I have some friends who operate a sawmill in N. WI. I used to sell logs to their dad back in the day. I can get rough sawed white oak for the bed from them. II really want to do it - I'm too old to do it myself - got some medical issues too. Age and economy (high gas prices) - we'll see. I sure like the look of a flatbed pickup truck.

First skill of 2021 has gotta be plasma cutting ... I'm still super rough with it but have some shop furniture planned that'll school me. After that, who knows right? :) Big thanks!
