- I sold my vintage camper and original bed and wanted something a little different... this design allows clearance for some tall tires with zero lift as well as a large amount of flat workable area. I think it turned out very unique. Check out more of the builds!
WOW, that's a heavy duty bed😋😎👍 Thnx!
You bet
My turn 👍👍
Going to flat bed up my 18 RAM 1500.

do it!! great trucks deserve it
awesome build man i have a F350 with a shot bed and was thinking of doing the same thing with a similar style. awesome to see this
yeah, I like the simplicity and the one easy angle on it adds a ton of depth
Awesome bed sir!!! Nice work!!!!
thank you kind sir! thanks for watching!
Excellent build!
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks awesome. I need something like this for my big truck. Kinda tired of the pickup bed conversion.
do it! would love to see it! Might not work well on your extra large applications but who knows...
@@Legacy4x4andOffRoadYT I seen these trucks with a regular ole flatbed and big ass 53s before.
Smart to leave access the whole length. Looks great all finished up nice !
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice sir I’m thinking bout doing that for my 1500
My vote is do it man!!
Okay thanks for watching!!
Was it hard to do do you make them ?
@@tylerpreston1124 wasn’t herd at all but with current prices it’s probably worth to just buy one to be honest… a used one is probably half what this cost in steel now a days
Nice! Helpful hint split your angles in half that way tubing lines up, save some time.
to make a 22.5* cut each piece at 11.25*
That's a great idea! most of the time the rest of it isnt lined up quite well enough to ensure accuracy... lots of measuring by eyesight LOL
If you tap it, they will come!
hhahah! thanks for comment !~
Your welds look nice and solid.....i know its been a couple years, but do you recall what settings you used on welder for doing that 1/8th thick steel? Gas 75/25? I want to do this project, but with a dump bed kit on my 96' Cummins and do not want any blowout on the steel. Anyway, if you remember... good video 👍
Yeah this was done with C25 gas, so 75/25 normal mig welding gas. I do not remember the welder settings for volt or wire feed though sorry
How do you like your welder? Was thinking of buying one and considering that same brand and model
I had the vulcan 215 and that thing was an absolute unit of a machine, probably the best machine I've ever used. The titanium is a tad bit for finicky and less forgiving but welds perfectly fine. I switched because my vulcan go rained on and wanted to try to cheaper one. If this one ever bites it I'll see what direction I go..
1:47 speaking of pink.... You been wearing them crocks lately?
they caught fire.... onto a blue pair now... RIP
@@Legacy4x4andOffRoadYT even pink crocks hate themselves 🤷
@@oldcroneysgarage9739 you might be right really.,...
As I've already said..
hehehe
lol
