Okay, picking and flipping that frame with the skidsteer is probably the safest way I've ever seen someone on UA-cam do that. Very smooth and safe on your own that way. The forks inside the rails, the strap tension inside the cab. Great work.
I suggest you invest in a lapel microphone as when you step slightly away form the camera the sound degrades a lot! Since you are taking the time to explain what you are doing it would be nice to be able to hear you!
I dig it! I wouldn't mind having a van truck myself. Seems like a good cab and plenty of strength in those chassis. I had a 2001 standard length e350 I drove for a couple years. Nicely done!
I love it ❤. You have inspired me to start my own build. I was actually thinking what to do to my box truck bed is going bad. and thank God I came across this video
I’ve been designing the flatbed for my 08 Cummins. The back body is starting to rust out as they all do in New England and it’s time to do something about it. Unfortunately my bed is only a 6’ shortbed. I need to have fuel storage in it so I can fuel up when I go to the “mainland” (I live on a island) so my plan is to build the bed as a fuel tank itself. So the 4” channel will be sealed too and bottom with plate. I should get around a 100 gal tank if my calc’s are right. That way I’ll still have all the bed space usable. And if I really wanna juice up I can toss my 100gal portable tank on there too!
Hello🙋♂️ from the Netherlands🇳🇱 . i am new to this channel . looking forward to the continuation of the build . thanks for the video . Sincerely, Hollandduck 🇳🇱🦆
Everybody gets told something different for different reasons. Going on my class A driving and heavy wrecker experience, the fifth should aways be just ahead of center trunion or center axle. But I've heard everything under the sun. Thanks for watching.
Very nice job buddy I really like that you did a good job got a question for you what kind of drill bits you using cuz those drill bits seem like they're cutting really good if you could let me know I like to try to get me a decent set thank you very much appreciate job on there thank you thank you
I, bought a 89, ford f-350 E van just like you got cut the back out of the cab and added a 77, dodge 2 door ext cab then built a steel tilt flat bed and added another AXLE behind the factory rear AXLE with air bags for added weight it's a 460/ c6 auto
@@andersonpropertymaintenanc952 it’s nice and clear. Nicely done by the way. The bed looks like it’s going to be great. Nights in the shop are spectacular when you’re fabricating. You got a new fan here in Wisconsin
You probably have seen the Chanel jc smith. I can’t remember the name of the cutting bits he uses for his mag drill. I think it’s a helical cutter. Very nice holes and sharpen able. Any how nice work great Chanel
Yes, I do like his channel, and I'm a subscriber to him. I actually found him when I was researching how to move an axle on my dump truck, as there wasn't a single shop within 50 miles of me that would touch the job. I used his electrical conduit and a pencil idea to mark my holes, and was the reason I bought the mag drill to begin with. I have annular cutters, just not that big. I think I have from 7/16 to 1 1/16, and a 1 7/8. They work amazing. But they're expensive (relatively) and are not available locally to me. I have to order online. Thanks for the compliments.
It weighs about 1000 lbs completed. I Imagine similar bodies on these chassis weight is comparable, for example a penske box truck. Also, this was an ambulance with a 6k lb body on it. For it's intended purpose, it is not going to be too heavy for a 14,500 GVW chassis. I'll weigh the total rig after i take the sander off it to get an accurate weight.
@@andersonpropertymaintenanc952 everybody has their own likings I will say this you can lay down some dimes I can't wait to see what it looks like finished
Noted. Thank you. I am using free software on a big box store computer. It's not the easiest to get done. But I will on future videos at least set the music at 50 percent. Hopefully someday I can get software that has audio leveling features. Thanks for the input.
The chop saw does great. The circular saw, not so much. But the circular saw blades are relatively cheap. So for the clean cut and convenience, it's worth it. Although, I have a few gripes about the circular saw. Probably would get a different brand.
Its an Evolution 9" metal cutting saw. I would highly recommend buying another brand. Milwaukee makes a much better saw. The saw I used in this video has since shithebed.
@@peteryeung111 my first welder was a Hobart 140 Handler which was 110 Volt Welder. it is incredible what you can get done with even a small 110 welder. And I would recommend anybody who wants to buy a welder to teach themselves how to weld to go ahead and buy a 110 volt to start. when I went to purchase my next welder I decided to keep in the Hobart family because I was very satisfied with the 140. I also did not see the need to spend the big money on the more well-known brands that just had more complicated circuitry and computers. this welder was inexpensive I can add a spool gun to it and it does all the things I needed to do. my next one will be an industrial size welder that has a better duty cycle and can handle heavier wire
@@andersonpropertymaintenanc952 You are correct and thank you for your valuable advice. As a hobbyist and did a bit of research, I’m looking at Lincoln, Hobart and Miller. I don’t think we can go wrong with any of these machines. I currently don’t have the space and any 220v outlets…so the 120v would be my only choice. Cheers brother and keep up the good work!
You need a remote mike as you do a lot of talking when you are away from the camera and have your back to the camera. Comes across as undecipherable mumbling.

YOU CAN TELL ME TO GO F MY SELF BUT SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE TAKE OFF YOUR RING WHEN WORKING HEAVY STUFF OR AROUND ELECTRICS IF YOU PINCH YOUR RING ON YOUR FINGER IT WILL HURT SO BAD YOU WILL TRY TO PULL IT OFF SO HARD YOU COULD PULL YOUR FINGER OFF WILE YOUR RUNNING AROUND IN CIRCLES TRYING TO GET IT OFF IF IT EVER SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOU OR SOME ONE ELSE / GET TO A BENCH VICE AND YOU CAN SQUEEZE IT OFF WITH EASE / AND AROUND ELECTRICS IF CONTACT IS MADE YOU WILL GET A BAD BURN AROUND YOUR FINGER / WILE GETTING A SHOCK THAT YOU WILL FEEL LIKE SOME ONE HIT YOU IN YOUR ELBOW WITH A FIVE POUND HAMMER / PLEASE TRUST ME I DID NOT LISTON AND LEARNED THE HARD WAY IT HURTS SO BAD YOU NEVER FORGET / I DIG WHAT YOU ARE DOING / GOOD LUCK WITH IT / REMEMBER SAFETY FIRST

Great job looks awesome flatdecks are so versatile and that ambulance chassis is a good way to get into a dually

7:00 I love the use of trashcan. Doubled as an armrest for an accurate cut and PPE simultaneously.
Lol
A little softer than a sawhorse.
We run two of these daily. Over 1 mil miles between the two. Friggin work horses. Love em

Hello🙋♂️ from the Netherlands🇳🇱 .
i am new to this channel .
looking forward to the continuation of the build .
thanks for the video .
Sincerely, Hollandduck 🇳🇱🦆
Very nice work brother 👏 I need to make a flatbed for my freightliner your video is gonna help me a lots I appreciate it
I’ll be waiting for your next video on this build.
Check my channel. Video 2 is up!
Nice design. Looking good
Great job! Looks amazing!
Just found your channel . Nice work on the bed , but can you lower the music to your voice volumn please .
I always was taught to put the gooseneck ball 6” behind the rear axle.
Everybody gets told something different for different reasons. Going on my class A driving and heavy wrecker experience, the fifth should aways be just ahead of center trunion or center axle. But I've heard everything under the sun. Thanks for watching.
nicely done, gives me some new ideas for when I make my deck.....
E 450 F450 Are good solid foundations for hauling.
Nice stuff, new sub. Cheers.
nice work
GREAT JOB
Suggestion, the music is very loud.
Very nice job buddy I really like that you did a good job got a question for you what kind of drill bits you using cuz those drill bits seem like they're cutting really good if you could let me know I like to try to get me a decent set thank you very much appreciate job on there thank you thank you

That sounds awesome! Was that vintage body on frame or unibody?
Awesome
WOW!
audio is faint perhaps a clip on mike? Awesome job!
cool
Thats a P.L. ambulance. If it came from Maine you prob got from sugerloaf. Would be a yellow sticker in door jamb. I prob built that in mid 2000s
It did come from Sugarloaf. But it's a 2016.
That turned out sweet. excited to see how it turns out. What kind of gas motor is in that bad boy?
Thanks! It's a V10. All I know lol. Not a ford guy. Got lots of go though.
I'm tuning in for this .👍🏾
Where did you find that cab chassis ambulance?
Local upfitter that swaps old bodies onto new chassis.
I love smaller channels like this. Nicely done. I do have a question about your equipment. What kind of camera are you shooting with? It’s very nice.
Just a simple gopro 8. Some on my cell phone.
@@andersonpropertymaintenanc952 it’s nice and clear. Nicely done by the way. The bed looks like it’s going to be great. Nights in the shop are spectacular when you’re fabricating. You got a new fan here in Wisconsin
@@pilgrimsgarage thanks a bunch. Should have part 2 up soon!
@@andersonpropertymaintenanc952 I look forward to it.
I’m the same way, I love seeing the way other people find solutions to their problems
Badass
👍👌

Where did you get the cab back or back wall??? Love it!
Came with it. Google van cab back. They are available in all different sizes for ford and Chevy.
Talking about the price of the mudflats and hardware after slamming the chrome bumper and tail light on the ground😂
Lol. I guess that seems silly. But the aluminum bumper went to scrap.
Where have you get back part of cab?
Very nice how much is the back cab piece cost
It came with the truck. But i think they're about 1500
I have never seen a flatbed built backwards on the outside railing
I'm glad you got to see something different.
@@andersonpropertymaintenanc952 everybody has their own likings I will say this you can lay down some dimes I can't wait to see what it looks like finished
Music is way louder than narration. Back music level down 3 to 6 db.
Noted. Thank you. I am using free software on a big box store computer. It's not the easiest to get done. But I will on future videos at least set the music at 50 percent. Hopefully someday I can get software that has audio leveling features. Thanks for the input.
Why would you cut off material out of the chassis, shortening your working surface?
For gooseneck trailer clearance. And the material I bought was 12 feet long.
That evolution blade last long cutting mild steel?
The chop saw does great. The circular saw, not so much. But the circular saw blades are relatively cheap. So for the clean cut and convenience, it's worth it. Although, I have a few gripes about the circular saw. Probably would get a different brand.
You should look into Fein saws. They make some of the best metal cutting saws in the world.
That looks like steel from gold steins
Yup.
Hello friend, did this vehicle used to be an ambulance perhaps ???? Looks kinda like it by the color scheme on the cab and the rear bumper
Yes, I bought it from an ambulance upfityer.
I really your job I have the E450 I want to buy the back and the cap the fiberglass can you please send me the link appreciate it man. Thank you.
Google cabbacks.
I wouldn’t have done it like that
I know Andy... lol
Fiberglass Cab on the Van. Who makes it?
I have one for sale. Blackhawk fiberglass. They are 1800 new plus shipping. I'll ship mine for less
what's the name of your cutting ,IWANT BUY ONE EXACTLY SAME YOURS thanks
Its an Evolution 9" metal cutting saw. I would highly recommend buying another brand. Milwaukee makes a much better saw. The saw I used in this video has since shithebed.
We don’t need the background radio!
Are you just using a 120v welder?
No. Hobart 190 240v

cagada nao se solda travessas em chassis, e apenas se parafusa.
Nice and heavy duty, betcha ya loose a 1000LBS of your gross !
Yup. But probably weighs about the same as a 14 ft box you see on these chassis?
@@andersonpropertymaintenanc952 my point being is on a custom build like yours, the weight builds up very quickly, as you will see.
Not trying to be critical or a keyboard expert but why not make a dump bed if you’re already going that far? Then you could make it that much more versatile.
It crossed my mind. But I already have 2 dump trucks. So just added expense at this point.
@@andersonpropertymaintenanc952 ah.
And besides that, everyone should have at least one dump truck before you get three. It’s only fair.
Lmao. Your mud flaps were supposed to go behind your wheels
Check part 2 and 3
should have just bought a van truck and engine swapped it
You are bad at designing with that platform, I climb a cow and it disarms it by stomping on it
