Great work. You sir, are a true craftsman. But take it from an old man, invest in a quality pair of safety glasses. You never know when a chip of metal could fly off and ruin your life.
@adriang5214
@adriang5214 4 года назад
I second that! And not just with metal, I was cutting wood and some pieces got into my eye and cut my eye. It was a scary moment. Went to the ER and they gave me some eye drops that would heal my eye but that’s exactly what they said “why weren’t you wearing safety glasses?”

It's refreshing to see someone who's actually fabricating their own flatbed which is actually going to see practical use. Too many guys with heavy duty trucks that never tow/haul anything except for groceries. Keep up the work good sir, your a very useful person among your community

Hey man, great work. Your attention to detail makes me want to suggest something to keep this looking nice even when its getting rocks and debris pelted at it from the trail. I suggest putting wheel wells / fenders to protect all your hard work! Take some inspiration from trophy trucks of today or older work trucks ...plus I think in the state of WA it's mandatory to have fenders that stick out as far as the rubber of your tire does. Anyways it's just a suggestion from someone who think form should follow function. You did an amazing build and thank you for taking the time to share it.

Bro Seeing this time lapse video of you building the flatbed REALLY gives us a look at how much time effort & thought you put into this build I also like that you improvised and made things work 👍👍 That’s what I think makes the bed so great A real one of a kind build you never cut corners to try and hurry or [thats good enough] stuff ya know ?? Looks GREAT Really sets your truck apart from anything else out there!!👍👍 Ya wanna build me a rear bumper for my Jeep??🤣😂 Great video Congrats
@tigerseye73
@tigerseye73 4 года назад
Excellent build Austin. I like the way you flared out the sides. I built several of these years ago but the way the hot rolled steel rusted here in Ohio it didn't take long for the entire bed to need a new coat of paint. Your truck probably has better off road traction with the heavier new bed over the rear wheels. Thanks for sharing.

I wanted to do this to my Tacoma and my future F-250. But I recently learned in California if you convert your truck bed to a flat bed. You have to stop at every scale and get inspected along the freeway like a big rig. So inconvenient because that line is always long and there are so many in my area. Your flat bed is sick dude, good job.
