- Full Welding Bed Tour!! The new welding bed build is finally complete. I will be giving you a detailed welding rig tour of this pipeline-style welding bed we just finished up. I will be sharing all the details I can think of, how I made the fenders, what radius I used for the back quarter section, etc. I want to thank all the companies I used to finish up this custom build and pull everything together. Stillwater Steel of Stillwater, OK, Wilkins Truck Chrome of Tonkawa, OK, Titanium Diesel of Blackwell, OK, and LINE-X of Stillwater OK.
Above all thank you to Matthew, my client who trusted me with this project and funded the full build. Thank you for letting me share this with our community and choosing AROSSWELDING.

Man it’s really great to see people take pride in what they do and do things right and not half assed
the attention to detail is absolutely insane
Thanks for the tour Austin it came out real nice!! JB
Pleasure is all mine!
Great job..! As a kid, I helped my dad build 2 rigs. He was a 798 rig welder from the 40's till the mid 80's.
Love how you take pride in all your work including making your videos. Don’t see many guys take that much pride and the definition of skilled craftsmanship is going out the window in my opinion these days. Keep it up hopefully you continue to inspire and show what it means to be a “true craftsman”!!!
I appreciate you taking the time to share these kind words. It means a lot.
Hoosier is a person from Indiana.
Those gas struts should be flipped end over end. You want the rod on the downhill side because the fluid in them keeps the seals in good condition.
Nice build man.
Omg 🤦♂️ thank you for sharing that info! I had no idea!!! This is why I love you guys! And why I love learning! Thank you thank you thank you!
Something you should be proud of! Nice work, Austin.
I appreciate that!
That's a work of art man. I always respect welders that make their own bed.
The welder getting that bed didn't make his own bed. But I get what you are saying.
@@wadepatton2433true but at the same time he got it fabricated by a badass welder. Just as much of a flex IMO.
That is a really nice looking weld bed!! Nice job!!
Thanks!
Wow. That turned out incredible! Following the body lines off the door ties it in beautifully and I don't think I've ever seen a cleaner job! Seriously, thats a job to be proud of!
I sure appreciate it
Hey brother we all make mistakes. Learn from it (as you did), thank our Father for the lesson and keep rolling. Great looking bed. God bless y'all.
I love how you carried the body lines from the truck doors back onto the sides of the rear.
Dream rig for me. I dont pipeline, i have a full time in a vessel shop, but i do repairs and stuff on the side too. Would love to have this setup. One day! Keep on hustlin
I been looking forward to this final episode. Really well thought out and well executed Austin.
Thanks!
I know you love pipelining but you missed your calling sir. That bed build is awesome sir. You should make them to fit all models (Chevy, Ram, & Ford) You done a really great job sir. How many hours is in this build?
Thank you. I really appreciate that. About 250 hours.
Fun fact he charged this guy $19500 for this bed. That’s wayyyyy overpriced
That was everything out the door. Materials, paint and all. And I only charged half my normal rate on account of the way we shared it on UA-cam. It took a bit longer sense we filmed it and used it as education material. Normally it would have cost just shy of 40k
@@weekendwarrior4271that’s not overpriced. Our beds for marathon pipeline company trucks were like mid 20k. Not sure exactly that’s just what custom costs
over priced ? That's actually cheap brother .
We r professionals, custom fabrication does not come cheap.
Beautiful and I love that Allen lock idea! Genius Austin! 👍🏻🙏🏻
I can’t take credit for the idea. I’ve seen it on other welding rigs. But thank you!
Beautiful build. I haven't seen a bed that nice in a long time. Phenomenal skill Austin.
Thanks!
Awesome build, Austin! Love all the small details and thoughtfulness you put into it. A true work of art.
Thanks a bunch!
definitely!
One of the slickest work beds I’ve seen built.
Pool noodles work great to cushion loads, am
Nd the can be put over ratchet straps.
And pipe insulation works also if you need bigger size
Love the new welding rig bed ❤❤😮😮. You did an excellent job on the layout.
Thanks!
Jam up! Outstanding....
Thanks for sharing. Makes me want to come out of retirement. 👍🇺🇸
Blessings...
That was a great build Austin. Really cool ideas and your fabrication skills are spot on. Thanks for the tour.
Thank you Temple! Pleasure is all mine!
Great looking bed build. Always something entertaining and impressive content. Keep up the good work Aross!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoy the videos!
If wind is a problem on the back boxes maybe a short bungee strap to keep tension on it when needed, Or you could put threads on both ends of holding rod so a few turns would lock it into place.
That’s a great idea
Another home run Austin 👍🏻 as always keep up the good work 🇺🇸
Thanks! Will do!
I love the old school lock idea, I would’ve never thought of something like that, or the long term door stands
Wow you did a awesome job, the details are great a lot of time and thought was put into this build
looking great Austin, for an old timer, you get things done.....cheers from Florida....Paul
Thanks 👍
Love the locking idea
I do too… but doesn’t that mean anyone with a set of Allen wrenches can access your stuff??
It looks awesome!! Great job. Keep up the good vibes.
Thank you! Will do!
I used to hurry more than I should. I expect most men do. An old trucker told me "go slow, you'll get there quicker" and now I do. Thanks for sharing your work because a real tradesman is never too proud to learn from anyone (that's why your viewers are here!) and you really do make a difference.
That is a very nice bed, Austin! I have been a follower since your pipelining days and really miss that content and miss being in that profession still myself. Out of the dozens of people I know, not a single one is still a pipeliner to this day, 2019 was the last year that I stepped on one. You have a great career going now, so dont think I am trying to degrade what you are doing. I just like to reminisce I guess. Take care.
Albuquerque NM welder! Awesome im from the 505 as well about 2 hours north ABQ actually. Awesum Chingon!!
Super slick rig now all it needs is a Lincoln 300 in stainless steel highly polished
Thanks!
Thanks Aross!! I have a couple more ideas now. And totally slow down. I agree. The end product is what’s most important. Cheers brah!
Pleasure is all mine brotha man! Thank you for taking the time to write this message. I appreciate it.
Does take experience to figure out the quality to efficiency ratio. I'm a quality over quantity myself. Great video!
Yes it does!
Mighty fine well executed project young man. Anyone would be proud to owne it.
I do think it needs a headache rack to protect the cab. I really like the way you locked the tool boxes.
A short story from my dad. He worked as a welder building municipal water towers when i was a baby. The contractor he worked for had all tool boxes made to be locked with a 5/8" bolt and nut. He demanded the bolts to be tightened with 2 - 12" adjustable wrenches. They never had any tools stolen. All of the other contractors were constantly being robbed of their tools. The bolt cutters used to cut off locks could not work on the bolts.
I appreciate it. Yes, a head ache each would be very practical. That’s a great story and great idea! Thank you for sharing!
I believe I ran into this truck on the road! You did a hell of a job
Good job on the bed and the video as well. Came out quite nice
Thank you!
It's so crazy being in ponca and hear you saying Blackwell, tonkawa and Stillwater
Great job Austin, really looks great . Run that thing by the paint shop, I bet they could blend it in real good. Stay safe and keep up the great work you and Kayla do around there. Fred.
Thanks 👍
You are absolutely right, slow down and do it correct the first time. Rework is a horrible situation. I ran the oilfield for seven years during the exploration boom in Western CO and N. Dakota. "2006/ 2013" the best welding education, next to Grandpa and tech school, that a person could ask for . I'm currently working the federal arena , DOD / DOS locations overseas... and that old saying still stand today.
You do good work Austin, keep it up.
I got a 77 Chevy C30 that i want to build a weld bed for. I get a lot of good ideas from your channel
Was supposed to be at the truck show down there but ran into truck problems the day before, hope to catch ya there next year!
If only everybody had this much pride in their work
Dude it’s great looking
Awesome job brother!!!! That right there is one slick bed!
Thanks!
That's a slick setup, like the Rino Hide look, and the inner fender over the Dually wheel wells. What would be awesome is hydraulic actuated pins to detach the bed and drop-down legs to stand it in place. Then a Flatbed to attached to the truck frame by just backing under it and same pins to secure it to the truck. That would have a Dual useability. Probably use and electric 12volt pump to overate the pins.
That sounds like a roll off truck and a special box to work off of
Not a bad idea but it’s not just a welding bed great idea but at that point why not set up a job box and a little trailer.
Cool to see it is coming to Iowa.
Im not too close to Buchannon county, but ill recognize this truck if i see it!
Excellent job!
that's sweet fabrication there Austin i need a new bed sure like the Oklahoma pipeline look makes me miss home..
Amazing artwork
That a beautiful and functional jewel!!
I think so too!
Mint👌 always love seeing the finished product.
You and me both!
I love this guys content
Dang brother, incredible truck and bed build!
Thanks!
Mighty Fine rig. Cadillac job. I am sure your customer will get lots of looks on the job site.
Thanks!
Wow this thing is so bad ass!! You're like the Batman of welding 🤣
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Learned that in the military but nice build
I have a dirt moving company and I carry a lot of tools and a lot of stuff I need to keep the job and my guys rolling. It’s organized but I’m always trying to find ways to refine tool/equipment storage
Really nice work, nice bed. If I added anything it would be a drop in tray in each of the toolboxes for small stuff I did not want to get lost in the bottom.
I like the simple elegant lock. Not many folks carry an allen wrench on them since they have no idea they would need it and you would need a deep one too.
Another elegant way to make a lock is to make a rectangular pocket to slide a padlock into and place a retainer plate on the backside on the shackle after you install it so it can’t fall out or be removed. Then put a hook hanging down from the lid that catches on the body of the lock itself when its pressed in and locked, but when its opened it does not catch. Almost impossible to break open without total violent entry if you use a quality lock.
That’s how the Ridgid job boxes work. I have a Greenlee box and you have to all but lay on the ground to see the keyhole for the padlock.
Wish I was about 20-30 years younger, I would go into welding as a career. I regret not doing it when interested when I was younger. Still like to get into it for hobby and personal projects.
Great work Austin
Thanks!
It couldn't have been any better!!! It couldn't have been any sweeter!!!!! I would want a headache added to it!!!
Looks awesome.
Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
great job
Patches! He lives down the road from me in veguita😎 cool to see him on the channel 🤘🏻
🤙
The welding bed looks good 👍
I think so too! Thanks!
That’s so cool! I’m from edgewood New Mexico.
Helluva welding bed bud. It looks great
Thanks 👍
Awesome job, 👍
Thanks 👍
Austin, Austin, Austin. You don't understand an Uh Oh until you run over a section of HVAC roof with a 4 ton forklift.
True story from almost 2 years ago. 50 foot sections of duct work we were building and our forklift driver, who by the way is one of the best in our area, accidentally grazed the front corner with the back tire when he was trying to back out and around another section we built. My supervisor and the guys who made the roof were working frantically to fix the cap that was built into it and make it look like nothing happened so we could install it. By the time they were done, we could still see where "something" had happened, but it was so much better than it was... Still thankful I work alongside some great miracle workers... They have done the impossible several times since then for us.
Awesome bed! Great work!
Thanks so much!
Great job 👏👏👏
The bed looks awesome sir!
Thanks!
So for the radius part, you take 32"+ some more change ÷ 4 add some more change carry the one divide by pi, subtract the circumstance of the Earth, take the square root of the moons gravitational pull, add it all up, double check, stop, Pop a Top, call your buddies and start the process again, got it😂
Outstanding job
Things cleaaan… I just wish he asked for a slot to slide in a roll out wheel. Incase he decides to fab pipe. Love the back end
Nice looking bed! mines just a flat bed with tanks at the front welder in the middle tool box’s under the bed in front and behind the rear wheels all flat in the back for a work bench don’t pipe line weld just fab work and around the farm kind of welding not the perfect set up but can work well for most things and also I keep things simple so they are easy to fix on my old truck
Take it back to Linex and ask them fix your screw up. It will look better and you will feel better about the situation.
The Plate that's not lockable could be used to replace a palet to get under the pipe when mud is present or just 2 not lay on floor just needs allitle more adaptors but overall best custom box I've seen and quality and durability I love my good multi tools
Looks great 🎉
Thank you! 🤗
Beautifull work austin
Thanks
I subscribed just because of that hat! See you on the next weld!
In south Texas, rig welders use the hoosier pole to hold an umbrella when frabricating near the side of the rig.
Great build!!
Thanks!
Looks good!
Thanks!
I have seen a few welding rigs based on a pull behind trailer, but all that stuff is heavy... normal trailers don't have full floating wheel hubs.
Super nice build wow
Thanks!
looks very Smick Austin , just love it , A1 .
Thank you!
Very good Video 👍 👍
Thank you 👍
I didn’t realize you were in Oklahoma. I don’t live far from the Stillwater area. I’m not a professional welder just mainly tinker and farm welding. I enjoy the videos though
Nice!
Boy I do like that lock system it’s slicker then wet ice I might have to try that when I build my own bed I really like that whole set up matching the body lines in the bottom with the cab really took the whole build to a next level I know it was really an extra bit of work but it looks sharp as tacks
I agree! Thank you! Slicker than wet ice! 🤣 I love it!
Beautiful job sir
Thank you
"Slowing Down," just pay attention to Mr. Cat; he knows how to slow down...Excellent content.
Very nice
Thanks
Your a STUD!
Hey Austin I just set up a skid with a lincoln ranger 10000 to go in the bed of my f350 I have mostly been doing repair and fence work what other types of work more towards oilfield work would I be able to get into with the welding machine I have
acetylene tank rack bolt could fit inside the rod box
Cleaner look 💯
Are you going to build some more beds like that? I got the same truck.
