Been wanting to last bed for along time now, I am completely in love with the exoskeleton design you did. Great job from braeking out of the normal designs.
That is a nice bed !!! A little history for everyone about the term Hotshot , I am a retired Hotshot Trucker . In my day Hotshot Trucker was a Driver in a big rig that would pick up in a city say Chicago and run directly to the drop off say El Paso without stopping except for fuel . We had a few tricks to accomplish this task . Over the years I noticed the trucks have gotten smaller , there was a time when I noticed many Straight Trucks with sleepers , now I see Dually pick-ups with Gooseneck trailers and it makes me wonder , Does Hotshot still mean driving from a-b without stopping no matter how far ?
How do I order this for my truck? I've been looking for a hotshot bed but nothing on the market allows for an u Der bed boom without cutting away the back.
@@Ned-p1y custom just wanted this style, he uses the pintle hook, but if he goes gooseneck or fifth wheel he is gunna do the rail setup, thats why i built it so heavy lol! I actually have to fabricate and add some custom boxes so stay tuned for that video!
Why not hot dip galvanized the bed before final paint. Steelwork would not survive here in UK, having it galvanised is almost as cheap as painting nowadays, and last a lifetime.
@@nonsequitur807 its just the style the customer wanted, if he decides to get a gooseneck or fifth wheel, i made it heavy enough to put the rail system like he asked, mainly tows his equipment with the pintle hook trailer
Nice build. 😎
@@tomhamilton9140 thanks! Another flatbed build coming soon!
Very nice, great job matching the color of your truck, good and rugged as well.
@@kevincurry859 thanks man! Customer loves it! Will be back in for some custom boxes possibly!

@@SerryNurvue thanks!!
Another nice job!
@@freebirdwelds thank you!
Thats 5 star love it.
@@krowbar23 thank you!
that gap between the bed and the cab is massive
@@Savagehawk1305 yea he wanted it back an extra couple inches so he can clean between
@ oh makes sense
That is awesome!! Very nice work! What does something like that costs?? Looks like great quility, which normally = Big $$$$
@@mikesmodscustoms thanks man!
$9k plus tax
This look.good
@@JeronWhite thanks!
How much does that weigh vs a convential flatbed? Full deck would be a lot more useful I think. Nice job on the build.

@@Feilding8187 very expensive
Gooseneck? 5th wheel? All i saw was a pintle hook.
