Replacing a F350 bed floor

via KZbin Capture

[@Surroundedbyevil368]

Looks really good to me. Getting ready to do the same thing to my 95 ranger.

[@billmyers8572]

excellent video, gave me some motivation to replace the floor instead of hunting down a used bed

[@johnmorneault7888]

Bill Myers ya definitely cheaper especially if your bedsides are still in good shape. It's not a bad job if your not afraid to get your hands dirty. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@RedWhiteAndBlueVideo]

You can get Spot weld cutters for $5 at Harbor Freight the saw teeth can be unthreaded and flipped. I use cutting oil and never dulled one yet.

[@aux1z11]

My cross braces was rusty but the bed floor was ok, I air scaled what rust I could get off and put some rust converter and rust coat paint and built some new ones right by the old ones with angle iron and painted it all up and every fall it will get the whole thing drenched in fluid film.

[@badwolfblueberrysmokeadven163]

great video, thats the route I'm going just ordered from Ford the bed pan. My 2008 f250 6.4 crew cab short bed cross members were in bad shape. So i got the dorman w/ the cab cross member...we took off the bed and started the remove the cross members and the mounting holes came apart. rest of the box is fine no cancer. Mind you its a two tone DX AND CX. so we thought about a new box...In New England ...hard to come by...junk yard had none and offered me a $4,400 southern bed. Me being from Tx I could get em cheap even from a junk yard ..nooooo rust...I'd still have to pay at least 2k to get it sprayed with 2 tone. Saw your video i was sold. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS TY

[@johnmorneault7888]

Awesome! Glad the video helped! Ya I'm from CT so I know all about the local rust issues in New England! Lol. Definitely worth spending a bit extra to get the floor to. When I did this one I couldn't even find the Dorman ones.

[@badwolfblueberrysmokeadven163]

HELL YEAH I USE TO LIVE IN NEW CANNAN...I HAVE TO DO SOME PATCHES where the THE CAB CROSS members went but good to go ....only thing im having to deal with is weather... its outside. and im a cop and emt so tues and weekends off i miss my baby ...and its gonna rain. i got a 2 car garage but my atv and harley is in there....i should of listen to how long the project was....hella spot welds...im gonna get more bits the hell if i weld inside w/o vent..from Wall ford 900 and he throw in the cab member....its a great two tone bed ...couldnt let it die

[@badwolfblueberrysmokeadven163]

The rear crossmember where did u drill it to break break it

[@johnmorneault7888]

scott addison just look it over real good. That was 3 years ago lol. I don't remember where they all were. I think there's a few in the center area

[@brucewalters8974]

Hi John... Good Video... Could you please tell me where you got the bed floor..?

[@tcmits3699]

How did bed hold up after 7yrs? Never had luck with spray on rustproofing

[@MIRUSTICS]

I think the F350 I just bought has a bed that's not worth rebuilding after watching your vid. the only reason to save mine would be the exterior bed sides are already painted nice, but the entire bottom and even front brace is toast. seeing the floor is $550 alone it might be less work and aggravation to pick up a non rusted bed for $2k and just lay paint down to match. it's a shame more people don't fix their beds up before they are too far gone for repair.

[@MrElvin1975]

Great job.

[@jimmyvaught]

Dude, thank you!! I've been searching for ages for a rust free bed. Heading to the dealership now to order a new bed pan.

[@johnmorneault7888]

Haha no problem dude thanks for watching. Subscribe! Let me know if you have any questions. You could also glue the seems instead of welding them. Much easier.

[@johnmorneault7888]

Ya if your bed sides are good it seams like a waste to replace the hole thing

[@markvandendyke]

@@johnmorneault7888 What kind of glue would I use to do that? Strong enough?

[@ctooth10]

Do you have a Ford part number for the replacement bed?

[@jmvoltrino]

Would appreciate an answer on this! $500 from ford themselves sounds way cheap.

[@Machine4977]

Nice work.

[@joelefevre6063]

Is that from USA ford dealer or Canadian side

[@Shanesknowledge]

Me and my dad are also doing this but his truck is a short bed

[@fordnut4914]

Them spot weld cutters suck they go all over the place

[@eddylee587]

Thanks for the detailed R/R. Great video! Did you pick up the bed floor from the dealer? Did the box it came in fit inside the bed of your truck? Thx

[@undergroundshopbarstoolbui2154]

We’ll I called ford parts an as of today is 12/292021 they are 2,400 buck so replacing rails lol

[@dalekleinschrodt2883]

Did you keep track of how many hours it took from start to finish? I'm looking for a body shop who could do this for me on my 2011 F250 short box. I haven't priced out the bed floor from Ford yet but an after market place sells it for $590 with the 3 cross members also. Thanks in advance.

[@badwolfblueberrysmokeadven163]

THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR POSTING

[@johnmorneault7888]

No prob dude! Glad it helped! I've got more good stuff coming so subscribe!

[@iwerkalone]

great video but cannot find the replacement bed part, been looking online for over an hour no luck, only thing that shows up are the cross members

[@johnmorneault7888]

You wont find it. Its a dealer only part. Call your local ford dealer. I paid around $550 for it.

[@jjrock5]

Fellow CT resident I see. Very cool. I’m in the Hartford area. Rust sucks...

[@coachLou12]

What year is your truck?

[@Shanesknowledge]

Me too Connecticut sucks for trucks

[@chefcollins1]

Great job. Where did you get the new bed floor from -- auto parts store, dealer, etc.?

[@johnmorneault7888]

Sorry just saw this lol. Local dealer. Was around $500.

[@MrSexyhellokitty]

Did the new bed floor come with the cross supports already welded

[@johnmorneault7888]

Yes

[@Ogrodii]

Great video much appreciated

[@simaneriyamizrachi1212]

hey from which states you are.?

[@robertmadich3562]

WHAT TYPE OF WELD ARE YOU USING ?

[@johnmorneault7888]

Robert Madich using a mig. Plug welding.

[@LightGesture]

About how long from detachment to finished coating? Weekend project hitting it hard or no? Thanks

[@johnmorneault7888]

LightGesture took about a week. Its over 200 spot welds. Take your time do it right. Dont rush. You could always drive the truck with out the bed. Just tape the tail lights to the bumper.

[@bigwhane8603]

Boi that ain’t no rust

[@MrMarcello551000]

What is the ford part number for the bed floor?

[@johnmorneault7888]

Dont know. Call your local dealer.

[@blakeneuenfeldt6980]

What year truck is this?

[@johnmorneault7888]

05. But 99 to 07 are the same.

[@blakeneuenfeldt6980]

@@johnmorneault7888 you imagine a person could do this to a 85,

[@johnmorneault7888]

If you can find the parts. Same basic idea.

[@kennyguardado7795]

Where did you get the floor pan for $500

[@johnmorneault7888]

That was from a local dealer. But that was several years ago. And they gave me a discount. I Don't know what the price is now

[@MrCOUNTRYCANNON]

What is the Local Dealer you used? I am looking for one.

[@johnmorneault7888]

Carey Blalock Columbia ford. In CT

[@scottshellhouse8787]

Did you get it from a ford dealer or online?

[@johnmorneault7888]

Local dealer. It was about $500

[@yatesst1219]

Did come with the cross members

[@radamesarochojr.1307]

what would it cost for a job like this? I have a 2008 Tundra.

[@johnmorneault7888]

Radames Arocho Jr. depends where you have it fixed. My guess is around $2500 by a shop. Or if u can get someone to do it as a side job maybe $1500-$2000.

[@radamesarochojr.1307]

Thank You! very much for replying. I really appreciated it.

[@SaltySeed]

Radames Arocho Jr. cheaper to get a new box, you can get a new rust free box for around 1k

[@johnmorneault7888]

Not necessarily. Up here in Ct a new take off bed is up around 3k.

[@dorkhole8564]

How did you remove and flip the bed over? What kind of welder did you use? -Thanks

[@sstndrum4]

Do you have a part number for this?

[@johnmorneault7888]

Steven Garcia no I don't. Just call your local ford dealer

[@Smodlee]

Cheaper to go to the junk yard and buy a complete replacement bed?

[@johnmorneault7888]

Hard to find one up here in the northeast thats not rotted!

[@Smodlee]

Oh I know tell me about it I live in New England and I’m searching for one the closest one I found that’s the exact same thing is in Massachusetts 3 hrs from me. I wonder how much would it cost to have a body shop repair my rust holes in my bed floor?

[@johnmorneault7888]

Are the bed sides good? Or are they rotted? Where u located. Im in Stafford CT.

[@Smodlee]

Ya the sides are mint just the area that’s about 2 ft up from the tailgate is where it’s tender with holes.I’m from Maine.

[@johnmorneault7888]

Where in maine are you? Ive got family in Bangor and Fort Kent.

[@jayd5string1]

How long did this project take you?

[@johnmorneault7888]

About a week.

[@Jigsaw_knows]

Nice guy nice work but ford rust bucket.

[@littleredridinghood5622]

I wouldn't put that rubberized undercoating on anything ...

[@Allemay]

Piece of crap Ford trucks. My 2011 is rusted bad enough you could fall through it. Unforgivable.

[@guillermonieri4203]

Great job.
