Pressure treated lumber. 4x6 for framing and floor beams. 5/4x6 for decking. Bolted to frame using existing holes in frame, but did drill 2 new holes. No concerns for corrosion of truck frame, was well painted from ford. It was a temporary bed, so no concerns for warping, but the bed was very rigid and stayed flat while it was on the truck. Weight was not an issue for the f450. To each his own if you liked the music or not. Be blessed!

Was it an 11ft truck frame?

How did you attach first two pieces to the frame rails, nuts and bolts or big u bolts?

This is really great! Quick question, How think are your floor boards? I may be doing the same thing soon... Anything you would do differently 3 years later?
@ryanbell48956 жыл бұрын
Floor Boards are 3/4" thick.

What did you use over the frame rails, 3 x 4’s and I guess the cross members are 4 x 4’s

How do you keep the wood from causing the frame to rust because it retains moisture?
@ryanbell48957 жыл бұрын
Not worried about frame rusting. The steel has a hefty coating. Surface moisture should dry no problem.
@MAGWolf6 жыл бұрын
If you bought a Chevy kiss the frame goodbye but you got a ford and they know how to coat them well.. To bad the diesels nowadays are garbage.

If ford were only that good with making beds that didn't rot (pre aluminum) I wouldn't be here looking at wood bed videos.

what did you use to mount to the frame?
@ryanbell48957 жыл бұрын
I think I used 3/4" bolts into existing holes in the frame. 2 new holes had to be drilled at the rear end.

What did you do to stop warping
@acreageliving8 жыл бұрын
put a small space between each board to allow for expansion and contraction. Then screw the boards down every couple feet on the supports, he supported the ends of the board with a face board, screw boards down every couple feet and they wont warp. the small movement from heat and cold will hardly be noticeable. its when boards are not properly screwed down or supported they will warp because nothing is stopping it from moving.

looks like that might actually be heavier than a bought steel flatbed

this is a time lapse video, why would he upload the video with no sound, music just makes it better. no matter what song he chose, always someone who isnt going to like it, so who gives a fuck and just upload the music you enjoy.
