    I have decked many trailers with those screws in heavy steel like that its best to pre drill with a bit a little smaller then the screw great project love the old trucks

    When you’re using self-tappers, bigger is not better.. and drilling to fast will only heat up the metal and burn the tip up. Slow consistent pressure, or starting and stopping/pulsating will keep it from overheating and you’ll get better results!

    I recommend a steel plate covering about 12" wide covering the joint between the ramp and main deck boards in case a car drags to prevent catching on the wood plank ends.

    • @JD-fx1mb
      @JD-fx1mb 2 роки тому

      Chad only needs the joint covered where the car tires will be rolling over it. He could use the same 14ga. stuff right?

    We put wood decking on trailers etc. I found that drilling pilot holes is best and fastest. Then put a drop of oil in each hole or grease the screws so they can be taken out again easy when they need replacing. It's all looking really good and can't wait to see finished truck.

    That wood must stay dry or those self tappers will snap, worked at a truss company and we tried to attach 2x12s to steel tables and no matter how many screws we used as soon as the wood would begin to swell they would start breaking off. We sealed it and that helped but eventually they still broke.

    Corner cutting again. You must have a strip of metal where the two rows of decking meet. The void will eventually break and when the car rolls up the ramp, it will sag due to the weight of the car.

    Those 5/4 x 6" deck boards will shrink a little and give you a small space in between each board. (unless they're already completely dried).
    When building my decks, I hold them tight together and when dried, they have a space in between for the rain to drain.

  • @johnheard2814
    @johnheard2814 2 роки тому +11

    Making that transition from the dovetail to the flatbed eventually you'll end up putting a cap over it and welded because the wood as it gets wet and dry and the sun draws on it it will warp and not lay as you are now. That is a good way to transition from angle to flat but like I said it'll need some metal over it to keep the lumber from warping over time.

      He’ll have to end up capping those boards on the end of that beaver tail eventually. I would say about a 4”x3” x3/16” thick metal angle. They’ll warp and rot on the ends plus it will give it a finished look.

    How are you two doing today? The boards I used on my COE bed were 2x6x12 and they were so twisted, I had to use ratchet straps to get them somewhat straight. It helped get the bow out, and the clamps to pull the twist out. I used paint mixing sticks to keep from denting the wood from the clamps. Good show thankyou. I'm getting a bunch of exhaust bends soon to make the art deco sides for my COE bed. Your show is inspiring.
