Wooden flatbed build Part 2

[@GeoShep]

Great Job! Simple and good-looking. I will design my box after yours

[@cushionface09]

This was very helpful to me I will use your ideas when I build my stake bed. Thanks.

[@michaelalfonso1070]

Wow, you are talented and fast! I work for an architect and do woodworking as a hobby. I like how you did the lights!

[@meridethmade100]

Thanks so much!

[@FUzzyBUnnyBOoties]

Wonderful job with what you were working with. Im doing something similar this summer that is why I was looking up videos. It was nice to find one on the cheap and not using all new wood and straight stuff. Much like how I will be doing it. Thanks for the helpful video!!!

Nice job, thanks for some tips

Thanks it really help I have a 1988 Chevy s10 that I am go to turn flat bed

[@dustinsiemers4766]

I think the fire risk is very real. It would be like soaking some paper(wood) in diesel and oil and then wrapping it around a light bulb..... Id switch out the incandescent bulbs for LEDs. Much lower risk of fire and you wont have to replace them for a long time. Other than this I think it is great. Also the video is well made and fun to watch.

Nice work!. Wow. About to put one on my f 150. Not this intricate, but this really helped.

Nice job. Did you have any trouble with the heat from the lights and the wood?

[@meridethmade100]

No not at all

[@robertdunbar4948]

Nice job on the flat bed, Just curious if the bulbs for taillights burn the wood?

[@SandiestCheeks]

How are you changing the lights?

[@adamhebert9497]

Thanks for this. Where did you find those light covers/lenses? What are they called?

[@herbiehusker1889]

"Historic Vehicle"

[@dapperwounded]

About to do this to a rusty 97 f150. What was it you used for the mounting bolt in the first video?

[@danbailey96]

Why not make it at least as wide as the truck cab ? ( Personally I would have made it 6 inches or so wider then the cab):

[@jonleone777]

That is definitely the oddest rendition of stain ive ever seen. Looks like it woyld smell pretty bad.

[@tedtolentino4955]

THanks for sharing your video. I have a Chevy 1500 I'm also changing over to a flatbed setup. I contemplated using wood, but was not sure what wood species to use. Apparently your build with common pine wood can do the job, probably at a better budget friendly price than other woods. Then I thought what wood preservative should I use, e.g. deck stain and seal. But your simple home made stain might again be just what I am looking for. Does the stain permanently set, or does it easily rub off, possibly contaminating things you carry on the bed, such as lumber, that you don't want to transfer the stain to? Can you estimate the cost in materials you used? And finally, what became of the toolbox and headache rack that you briefly show in the video? Did you mount the tool boxes on your truck? Thanks for a great video.
