Yuri showin' how it's done, the d rings and ball hitch welds are really nice brother. It's good to see your dad drop in the videos, same as the goonzquad boys father jumping in. If I am correct, they are brothers or brother in law's as you guys are cousins with Simeon and Eleazar. Anyhow, it's great to see brothers work together!
As an old gearhead, it warms my heart to see the next generation of young men falling in love with everything automotive and executing excellent fabrication skills. It restores my faith that hotrodding will not die out anytime soon.
Those are strong bolts if they are HT for the plate holding the hitch, I don't think there is any need to weld, and on top of that I have never liked welding to a chassis. Some manufacturers actually forbid it ! You will have a door and after the first use of the hitch I would recommend checking the bolt tightness and then periodically after that. Its nice to have a big strong family to shift stuff around. Good welding skills everyone, nice job.
Love that you got everyone in on it, especially pops!! I’d think the shear strength of 8 bolts would be fine as opposed to needing extra weld. That way there’s slight flex allowed…
Guys it is great to see the F550 build again and also the work on the flatbed. Awesome job!! Do something cool on the sides of the bed so it's not just a flatbed, you guys are creative and I know you will come up with something awesome. Please keep up the great work and keep your Pops in the videos.
It's looking solid ! For the center,I'd lay the 2x3" sideways and weld down the sides of it.The plates can expand a hair when hot.I'd also prefer to counter-sink screws in all the plates onto the frame.When you decide to modify under,or around the frame,you'll have easier access.2x2"angle steel on the rear side of the access plate to the 5th-wheel with tapped holes for screws to hold it down,and a piano hinge on the front will let you do different holes in the plate and deck to hold it open.
...But,what do I know about whether you want to be able to change the decking for different uses easily?You may want straps welded to the frame and holes cut for removable 'stake-truck' like bars,and a rack that bolts on?
Man Tennessee is the place to be if you want a car repair or flatbed made what with you guys and the Goonzquad boy's all gettin it done ! Great content from all your channel's. Cheers from Sydney Australia MATE 🇦🇺🐨🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸
It is finally coming together, truck is looking already a strong workhorse !!! Welding is don by professionals and is looking amazing !Nice video Boys !!
When your drilling big ass holes like that get a good old fashioned plug in drill not a battery one. People get so use to using battery powered drills , they forget how powerful an old Milwaukee plug in drill is.
YOU GUYS MADE MY DAY WITH THE BUILT ALMOST DONE AND LOOKING GREAT BUT I HAVE TO SAY THE BEST PART WAS YOUR POPS THAT WAS A VERY COOL MOMENT,MUCH LOVE FROM LOS ANGELES C.A.
As long as those bolts are grade 8 or better it should be fine-- however, there's nothing that says you can't weld the plate to the bed, it ain't gonna hurt anything other than removability. If you plan on keeping that plate with that bed forever, lay down some dimes for piece of mind. Any flex will be absorbed by the suspension, the bed needs to be solid. Flex in the bed creates weak spots, specifically at your welds. If its solid, no weak spots.
I love reading all the comments from those that can't do something to those that are doing it!. I'm seeing the McLaren not working, so you put the motor into that sprinter van.....who's kidding who, that McLaren will be crazy awesome once again
You never want to drill holes in the flange of the frame... funny how many ppl think you was asking about welding the g-neck hitch to the frame of the truck lol I wouldn't weld it to the bed either 👍
Do one solid piece. The only reason you want a separate piece is if you want to swap out the hitch for a new type of hook up. Myndad had the gooseneck, but also a fifth wheel and even a roller ball for a car trailer. Very weird device. But 90 of the time it was a gooseneck and he had it pinned with 3 lag bolts, but he always worried it could shear the pins.
Diamond plate across the rear, shackles welded on for towing and a license plate mount, along with Mustang taillights. Storage compartments down the undersides between the cab and wheels.
i remember in a past video, you talked about a strip of wood between the frame and bed. are you still going to do that? great job and i love the welding competition!!!!
Some great welding by all the boys and dad as well. Paint the frame everywhere before welding the sheet on top. Also paint the sheet silver/grey that way you won't see any scratches when you will use the tray or the hitch, and end up scratching it. If you could powder coat the whole frame and tray that would be even better.
I wouldn’t weld it as if it flips and the neck comes off say the knuckle brakes you can just take it change it but up front I would put a tool box just to take what you need and on the other side of the box something to put two wheel it wouldn’t be the first time iv seen a double blow out and as for the bed weld it first then cut the hatch then that way you know it will be spot on Mark it from under the truck if you can if not looks like you will have to do it from on top but even still as you got it in two bit take one bit off Mark it put the other bit on Mark the other side and yes take the first bit you marked off to do it lmao I seen ppl try all kinds of things over the years but remember it’s called k.i.s.s keep it simple stupid lol all the best man hope it helps
If all eight bolts are grade 8, welding it up won't add much. Yuri, you do realize the man who,I'm thinking really taught you how to weld just handed you the shop "weld it" title with that goober snot- which very fortunately can easily be hidden. It' a lot easier to blow a vertical weld, I'm thinkin'. Then the "machine", Ben, put a whack on it- I'd keep your practice up- you are traveling in some tough company! FR
Absolutely never weld a hitch into the frame work. Its a flex point even though you don't realize it. I do know one thing.... its way overkill on crossmembers... you could haul a D6 cat dozer on that bed... about four or more times stronger than the truck. I have done thousands of different builds like your flatbed and never once that strong, as for every pound added takes away the load limits of what your going to haul... just saying.
Guy's i have something to tell you. When i saw a bunch of guy's walking around the shop in the video, i realice that the bos never went to bed to sleep. He always had something in mind. His shop. He is the smarther guy between you. That's why he is your father. 😂😂😂
You could have bought a used bed on Craigslist for 1/4 of the money ! Price of material is crazy high right now ! It Cost you double the money just for material!
Love the whole family working together! You need to bring dad into it more.
Roger that

Glad to see Big Boss working with you guys. He should appear in your videos more often!

Love seeing the brothers and Dad all working together in the shop, nice build on the truck!

Hi guy's you have an awesome dad 👨 and a great family of brother's. Truly enjoy your work and video's peace ✌
DEFINITELY LOVE SEEING THE WHOLE FAMILY WORKING TOGETHER!!!!⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Great work once again, top draw 👍👍👍🇬🇧
I was wondering what happened to the f 550 glad to see it back
When drilling into thick metal found out it is easier if you step up the sizes of the bits start smaller
you know its motorhead when you like the video before watching it!
👍turning out great! Keep the flow going, the flow is a unstoppable M'Fer'.
Way to go guys! I was afraid it was going to rust again. Thanks for update on F550

Don,t weld the hitch to the bed. The chassis should be abel to tork or flex.
👍🏻👍🏻
VTuned with the welding clinic.
And no gloves, welding like a boss!
I knew from the beginning that this truck would be a beast. I love her!!! Amazing job guys!!!!!
Great job on this bed! Wish my old man was still alive to help me with my bed i wanna build for my 97 F250HD
Dang pops welds are the nice.
I just relized were yuri got his talent from.
The welding part is so funny, love your dad’s welds.XD
I was dying 😂

The truck is a beast, epic build
It is finally coming together, truck is looking already a strong workhorse !!! Welding is don by professionals and is looking amazing !Nice video Boys !!
wait whaaaaaat?
They made sure that the diamond plate pattern fit between the sheets??
My OCD thanks you!
That’s better back to great vlog and finishing up the truck build, perfect. 👍🏽😎
Looking forward to the next 1 keep up the good work fullas
When your drilling big ass holes like that get a good old fashioned plug in drill not a battery one. People get so use to using battery powered drills , they forget how powerful an old Milwaukee plug in drill is.
A magdrill wouldn't be a bad addition to the shop I guess
Your dad is awesome! Just stitch weld the sheeting.
Diamond plate is gonna look sick!
Goed gedaan het ziet er sterk uit ! Top 🤩👍👌💪✊ Groetjes uit Holland 🥰👋🏼👋🏼🌹🌹🌹🌹
YOU GUYS MADE MY DAY WITH THE BUILT ALMOST DONE AND LOOKING GREAT BUT I HAVE TO SAY THE BEST PART WAS YOUR POPS THAT WAS A VERY COOL MOMENT,MUCH LOVE FROM LOS ANGELES C.A.
Automatic like button - engaged!
Love this truck!!
looks great like the way you beef it up .
Boy them super singles are going to look slamming on there
Family is everything - Dom Torreto
Nice work boys👍👍👍
Looking good, gentlemen!
Nicely done.
U boys always doing great job
That truckbead is better built than my house, well done guys and another good show thanks
Some beautiful welding work
🙌🙌
Great video!! Nice job on bed too!
Run a few more passes of weld on your hitch ball and chain hook up points on your hitch. Just to be safe
18:20 what a wonderful relationship you guys have with your Dad. He seems to be a very inspiring Dad.

Damn I’ve never been this early. The truck is looking good guy!

Never, and I do mean NEVER, put your legs under a hanging truck, Yuri....you're too valuable to the team, bro! Great job, btw!
Perfect job
Nice job guys
YOUR POPS IS THE MASTER NO ONE OF YOU CAN BEAT HIM HEHE
You never want to drill holes in the flange of the frame... funny how many ppl think you was asking about welding the g-neck hitch to the frame of the truck lol I wouldn't weld it to the bed either 👍
U put the hitch in the proper place for the most strength , good job bud

The problem is that chassis is not a solid piece. That is why you do not weld to it.
Good work Boyz

Great Stuff, thanks

great job and i love the welding competition!!!!
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo c’est toujours un plaisir de regarder votre travail 👍🙏💪🙏👍
Big red is about to finish now ...shoutout to d big red family.....good job there bro
Most goosenecks are bolt on just use the right hardware don’t cheap out on the bolts
Yea we got nice hardware for it 👍🏻
I'd done a few things different but I love the overkill on cross members, you could drive a bulldozer up on that flatbed , lol
Pops throwing down dimes!
Mark repping the boys ❤️💯
Looks good, nice beads , keep up the good work, my favorite youtubers
Thank you!
Ben ended up with a decent tint on his hands I bet
Wonderful family

Haha @ the welding part with Big Boss.
All are nice, except "that" one
😂😂 he got too confident hahaha
Yuri is the weld master
Looking good
tnx for the video
thumbs up before i even watch. already know this is epic
Haha. Ben is definitely the best welder of the bunch!
Get emm Big Boss , young bucks got nothin on the Boss
may i suggest that you weld all the sides of your Truck Bed with Angle Bars and you may choose the size you wish...thanks...
Nice

great video! wanted to ask if you welded the towing plate (gooseneck hitch) ? or just bolts ? just curious if bolts are strong enough
Good work. You could haul an elephant on that thing!
Don't weld the hitch to the frame. Just use high tensile bolts with locknuts.
I think everyone can agree we want more dad content
I got you
That McLaren ♥️
That was a massive amount of work removing the rust from the frame. Would have been better to use galvanised RHS.
yuri is a daredevil...🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely never weld a hitch into the frame work. Its a flex point even though you don't realize it.

That’s the point 😉
Daddy Boss gotta go back to welding school, don't blame it on the "mask too dark"..lol
Guy's i have something to tell you. When i saw a bunch of guy's walking around the shop in the video, i realice that the bos never went to bed to sleep. He always had something in mind. His shop. He is the smarther guy between you. That's why he is your father. 😂😂😂
if dad used to weld without a helmet, I believe him that it was too dark to see with the new helmets
next investment: a sandblasting booth
You could have bought a used bed on Craigslist for 1/4 of the money ! Price of material is crazy high right now ! It Cost you double the money just for material!
You should never drill holes in the top or bottom of a frame. It’s actually salvaged now.

Never weld on the flange of a truck frame, bolt using existing holes on side of frame. Also never drill flange of frame.
There is reduced strength with the MIG process going vertical down
