Custom Flatbed Build
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- After the bed of the Dodge Ram 2500 was damaged from a faulty tire Gil decided to build a custom flatbed. He pulled out all the stops. Nearly every piece is custom from the tie downs on the side to the weather-proof toolboxes made from scratch. It is truly a work of functional art!
When life throws you lemons (or faulty tires) you make...a custom flatbed!
Although the Flatbed build was a one-time deal for personal use, Gil is available on a first come first served basis for other custom projects including custom headache racks as seen here - with custom removable/replaceable window guard.

I hate picture videos, but GOTDAMN that headache rack is somethin fierce!!!!! love it
I love how folks build & design their own truck beds that will most likely end up on a few more trucks in its life time. I always think when i see a bed being redone into a better design that something seems to be missing. I thing of a truck in general, and one thing comes to mind. Why no tailgate? I mean a truck needs a tailgate or its just not complete. Like say you was to add a tailgate to the back area with the lights built into the back of the gate, and when the gate was down there could be pull out ramps tucked in behind it along with other hidden stuff to make it fun. Like Maybe a vise could be in the corner of the gate or two or three pull out toolbox like drawers along with some slide out ramps. The tailgate could act as a spot to rest or a quick work bench or what ever you can think of. Thanks for the awesome video all the same........ , , ⎝⧹╲⎝⧹ÐΛЯΞ †o ÐЯΞΛM⧸⎠╱⧸⎠ ✨[̲̅$̲̅(̲☠)̲̅$̲̅]✨¹°°
Gil, as a metal fabricator and metal artist myself, your craftsmanship and design are superb. I will have to admit that as I ponder a flat bed for my Dodge I am going to steal some of your concept ideas to incorporate into my build.
Thank you John! Gil would be more than happy to talk to you about it if you would like. Send us a message through stmichaelmetalarts.com
St. Michael Metal Arts what color black did y'all use
Nice looking and functional flatbed along with some great craftsmanship !
Nice job and well done.
Fabrication and welders are very talented! Some of us wish we could do this quality. Great job
Thank you very much!
I was a HUGE admirer before the spider web . . . in either event, although not my taste, I can appreciate the work put into it!
Best I have seen in a long time.
I sure need to start my bed before the year is over. A shop and fork lift would make things a lot easier. I guess once my truck is finished I can start a shop for my projects.
Jorge Serna i think you can rent forklifts and stuff like that at various locations find out good deals
great work
Badass...the only thing I would change is color match the rails with the spider webbing red...other than that....awesome job!
Absolute work of art!
Dammmmmm!!! That looks really good I like all the little details .
That's badass bed would love to have one for my truck
Pretty slick set-up!
dang, man. this is amazing. best I've seen.
Beautiful work!!! Must be a pretty heavy body with all that steel though?
Yes! Right about 1050 lbs, good for snow-packed roads!
Sweet job!!!
Beautiful craftsmanship.
Nice
Very nice job! Love the bed, hate the red, just my two cents. That shot of the bead should be on a Miller welder commercial! And last but not least, it's about time someone on UA-cam put some good music to their video instead of that techno crap!
Thanks for your kind words @Mattywho. The beauty of the red guard is that it's removable/interchangeable. :) I agree on the techno crap!
Very nice!
Looks cool
Nice, just nice
Great work, did you use stair C-channel
Very nice
Holly crap that's bad ass
Thanks @cirezane!
Wish I knew how to do that
Nice good job
Need one for my Toyota I need your company info
damn NICE
πολύ ωραία δουλειά!
How much a jub like that bud???
Nicest bed ive seen in my whole life. Where you from sir ? Would u make me one ? Whats the weight of the bed itself ?😉
Thanks Dany. Gil is from a small mountain community in northern New Mexico. He does not make flatbeds for others but he does make headache racks as well as smaller artistic pieces :).
Very nice work! I spotted your video while looking at other videos on truck flatbeds (as made by CM, Pro-tech, Alum-Line, Hillsborough, etc.). Each pre-manufactured version has shortcomings which a custom flatbed would resolve. Are you located anywhere near northern California?
Thank you! I'm located in northern New Mexico :)
Darn. 1000+ miles is too far, especially when it's not Summer travel time. I'll likely just pick one of the stock beds and either retrofit them or live with compromises.
Sou um ascinante do seu canal amigo, quanto mais vc explica o passo a passo fica bem melhor pra gente entende valeu.
Gee that Awesome. One thing I hate about new Truck Beds they fold like paper on impact I see why folks want steel bed. There not ford tough.
Or Dodge tough! :)
Louis Holland only thing tough about Ford is the price!!!!
They fold like paper
So the passengers won't
Should of made it out of aluminium
Nope, you need the weight back there for traction!
Most of these guys can't weld Al. Then there is the cost.
What you gonna load in that HAY? WORK TRUCK MY SACK
Steel not hay! ;)
Nice lookn bed.. But way over built. What's it weight? I'm guessing at least 1000 pounds.
You got it.
Bet them welds are shitty
Hateful loud 'music'.
