BUILDING A BUDGET FLATBED 

I think it's a great start to a very functional truck bed. I'd personally like to see a headache rack myself. I have had flatbeds both ways. A headache rack is a life saver.

Bessie is looking good, I like the bed. Id like to make 2 suggestions, D - Rings to make tying or strapping down a load easier. 2nd cap the ends of the square tube, over time rust will bleed out of the open square tube and it won’t look as good. Keep up the good work.

Great video. The flat bed looks great. The only things I would add are some tie down points and a cab protection from loads on the bed.

Headache rack would be the cherry on top! Awesome build 🙌

Really like the simplicity of this build. A lot of flat bed build videos are just overdone and make it look too complicated. Good job!

A flatbed makes total sense. The modular versatility is limited to your imagination. Thank you kind sir for sharing all of the little fabricating tricks... the finished product looks sharp!

one of my favorite diy flatbed styles I've seen so far ,nice work

I have an old 1989 Chevy Cheyenne 1 ton Dually with a great cab and frame but the service box has seen better days. I'm considering a Flatbed to replace the old rusty box. Your video is inspiring. Appreciate you sharing the build process. Looks great.

You made it look so easy, nice workmanship and details. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next step.

You should coat the under side of the boards with the same stuff you put on the back of the truck it will help the boards. And cover the top with total boats brand clear marine epoxy. 👌

Phenomenal build and I like how you repurposed 12:26 part of the bed . Cheers 🇨🇦

The open tubing should have caps covering the openings and the lack of stake pockets makes load securement difficult as well as the inability to short side panels to prevent things from rolling or sliding off the bed . I missed seeing how you handled the fuel filler kneck . Some sort of headache rack to protect the back of the cab . A place for a gooseneck ball would be handy . A step or some means of climbing up on to the bed would be helpful . A storage box to secure chains, binders and ratchet straps as well as a box for tools . Last of all the truck now needs mudflaps to be legal . I also didn't see where you intend to put your license plate and the license plate light . Reflective tape down the sides and across the back would a nice touch . Maybe another video may be in order to rectify those issues I brought up . It is a nice start of a functional working flatbed .

Loved it. Reminded me of helping my dad do that in 1963.

I like how you saved and incorporated the piece of the old bed into the rear part of the bed, nice touch. great job! I really like flatbeds

Very good deck, beautiful, I really like that you didn't talk too much and actually showed. Thanks for the video.

Wow, I been gone way too long but I am getting a bing following of this great build... I remember "Bessie" coming out of a death throw to be a truck someone would be proud to own Chuck.. I see the four wheel video is also up so thanks to you an yours for these very entertaining videos

THE BEST AWESOME PERFECT WORK.....😁👌👍

Looks awesome. Easy to remove too. I agree with other people you should make a headache rack but make it easily removable when you don’t need it and it won’t be in the way.

Nice looking 👍👍👍 the job was ok 👍👍👍

Fine job son! That's a better bed than the factory one when it was a new truck!!!

Great design, and build! Well done!

Super excited to see Bessie again! Keep them coming!

Absolutely first class, you have great skills man. 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Really looks great!

Nice work love the tail light layout and skewed corners

Cool 😎 🆒️ 😎 🆒️ Well done. Greetings from germany Christoph 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋

RIGHT ON GR8 JOB, IM BUILDING ANOTHER 1950 GMC FLATBED. THANKS 4 SHARING.

Really nice welds. Great job.

Quality. I like the trick you did at 8:28. Instead of having to fight yourself to keep the piece up.. also like how you cut your angles. Great job. You made me want to go buy a welder now lol

Always look forward to your videos Chuck! Love the channel and your work!

Great job! Looks fantastic!

Super job , bravo.

You made it look easy 👍

Excellent job buddy

That turned out great. And I learned something too. 👏👍

What a wonderful job and the welding is so neat

Great job 👍

great video... awesome music too! 😀

I love your flat bed modification man.

Looks great. I'd weld some caps on the ends of the box section to prevent internal corrosion. Install some wheel arches to prevent the underside of the bed from rotting or being cakes with dirt. D rings or stake pockets would add versatility to the beds use and abilities to carry different loads

Double thumbs up, and thank you neighbor Tommy

Love it! Looking forward to seeing the 4x4 conversion!

Love watching a plan come together!! Great job!

Great job 👍🏽

This is the most Florida thing I've ever seen

Great fab skills!

Nice looking truck,

That was a great job that remind me back in 1971 my dad built from scratch a tow truck with a 1954 Chevrolet truck it took him 6 weeks melting electro road

great job, best regards from Venezuela

Bad ass flatbed!

Dang man thats a badass look...it looks factory great job

Look, like a fun project

Nice job !!!

And now to add some chrome strips on the bottoms of the mud flaps. Along with some groovy tool storage boxes under the bed. Maybe some stake pockets and some removable sides and, of course, the nifty tailgate/cargo gates. Excellent video, by the way.

Great job brother

Your a natural! That is an awesome design! I'll take 2.
