i worked in a welding shop running mig and i used to build 2 flatbeds in a day, never a welding flatbed. but now im working in a shop making flatbed trailers
Very cool. Loving the layout. Can't wait to see more. The sides with the bends to match the cabs body lines is what really brings it all together. Can't wait to hear more about those details. Is see other posts on here that are interested in that as well. Thanks for keeping your 29k fans in the loop!
looks well thought out & you have everything laid out how you like to work!! that's very important when you spend as much time in a truck as we do!!! thanks for the update
Super!! Can't wait to see more. The dual purpose I think will come in very handy, especially if you go Elk hunting or start up a little trapline or whatever 😎.
Thank you for taking the time that you do in explaining all of this and sharing your knowledge of it. Some people don't realize that this is several thousand dollars worth of knowledge that people can use instead of paying several times correcting expensive mistakes. Have you ever tried running a Traeger or other pellet grill off of your machine while working?
Awesome build, trying to build my son a truck. I'm a retired commercial diver / iron worker. covid/Biden, has driven the cost of trucks through the roof.
Looks good, I like the taillights centered like that. And I like the 45° Hoosier pole instead of a 90° fitting like everyone else does. I did my pole the same way on my skid. But not a fan of how tall the side boxes are.
Im almost done with my new welding bed. Got it now to where i can take it off my truck an do the rest of off the truck. Been having a lot of people looking at my new welding bed on what I got done to it so far. And getting ready to put airbags on my truck now.
How does your camper tow with the hitch set so far behind the rear axle? I plan on building a welding bed for my truck but I still want to be able to a goose with equipment and a camper.
bowtac16 it is a arm that swings out to hold your Leeds and cords away from your wheels when pipe lining. Typically used on mainline. Straight large runs of pipe line.
Looks slick. I wouldn’t bother with paint or a liner. It’s easier to work off em without it. If you end up doing some fab work, it can be nice to tack a jig to the bed and cut it back off without worry.
That's going to be one bad ass looking bed, I'm jealous! Where do you buy your steel at? Do you get it in 20ft sections? Thanks for putting these videos up man, they're a great learning tool for guys like me. Keep it up, and be blessed!
Only problem I would see would be the vibrations between the upper bed and lower bed, I could be wrong but I think it would drive me insane. But I'm deffinatly stealing the oxygen bottle rack design🤗🤗 stay safe sir
I think paint is another level of stress trying to keep it nice. I have to tell people all the time to stop setting tools on the lids of my new rig. It is hard enough to keep the cab paint nice.
Wade Wittman bed liner is defiantly tougher. But I’m going to use paint if I redo the bed on the new truck. Maybe just get the box lids bed lined. They take a lot of abuse.

I love that idea of dual skid. Cant wait to see the finished product and see the prints!

Dammit ol' son, that is slick! Welder bed by day, farm chore bed by night (if I'm picking up what you're laying down!)
Sick build
Nice!
Nice bed real nice
I’ve been so curious to figure out the double deck part of this build
How did you build the boxes on the back of you bed? I’m trying to build a starter bed and set up little rig and I really like the way you made those!

Nice man

POR-15 is a great coating too
Nice man looking bad ass.. I would pay you to build me one for my mega cab

HOT DAMN!
Might be a dumb question, but what is the Hoosier pole? Thanks for the content

Like the Bed ! Good Bed to work from but You need a Grill .
I like the dual purpose bed👍
linex is the way togo too . i spray my truck and all . no worres of anyone screwing up your stuff
Do a walk around of your truck of all the tools you have and need for a pipeliner

Where do you get side panels and fenders from?

jack stands?
Hey what’s up man. The bed you made here is perfect! Did you ever end up making blue prints for it?
I havnt yet wish I did. It’s actually for sale right now.
One thing to consider with lights is availability when one burns out or gets smashed
Recmd a couple cans of layout fluid to cover and look bare steel not rust coloring... easy maintain easy to linex prep...
Hey Jacob you can recover that I used to be an IT and would do it all the time. It is not always 100% but possible.
Dam, I'm so happy for you bro. That's a really nice bed, I really admire your skill. I can't wait for a complete bed tour video.
don't matter how many decks you build theres always something you wanna change on em
Don't paint it you need to be able to tack something on to the bed . Awesome video
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You gonna paint or line x the bed?
Yes
I think paint is another level of stress trying to keep it nice. I have to tell people all the time to stop setting tools on the lids of my new rig. It is hard enough to keep the cab paint nice.
Hey Josh, would you recommend a bed liner paint instead of automotive paint?
Wade Wittman bed liner is defiantly tougher. But I’m going to use paint if I redo the bed on the new truck. Maybe just get the box lids bed lined. They take a lot of abuse.
Should check out www.steel-it.com another option of good paint that will hold up to stuff dragging across the bed and what not.
Are you in 798?
How do I get back out as a helper I don’t have a big contact network
Up load videos to "Cloud"
I didn't think that you could put accetaline tanks on the side like that. Otherwise you have a dann nice truck bed.
There both oxygen the acytene rack is not built yet. I said it in the video. It thank you very mich
Pull the hard drive out plug it into another computer and pull your files off
Take care of that cough
Only two bottles? I thought you would never build a bed that only held one oxygen and one Acetylene!! Lol
You need to rewatch the video. It clearly says two oxygen and two Acetylene
Acetylene bottles have to be upright or acetone will leak out of them when you open the bottle valve. The rack was for his oxygen.
Jacob Schofield damn how did I miss that! My apologies!
