Hillbilly: FYI, I was the design engineer that came up with Idea to add the camera to Ford Logo. I was working on Ford liftgate applique on the Ford Flex, adding the backup camera was a last minute change. Ford had already stated the stamping dies for the liftgate and did not want any program timing to change or reworking stamping tools. In the end, the whole team was happy with my idea.

While you’re doing metal fab, build a small lockbox for KEYS! Make it removable and paint the mount like blaze orange or something obnoxious, and the box MORR yellow. That way they have a visual reminder of the keys too

@rythemzlatin Год назад

XLNt ☝💡 idea ! Especially the 2 different colors. The Yellow removable box will *_contrast_* vs. Sand Hollows orange sand ( if someone puts it down ) , & the Blaze Orange mount is an EASY indicator that you're forgetting the Yellow box ( a visible color difference even a hundred feet away ) . Any worker should be wanting to see a MORR-Yellow box on the headache rack , not a Blaze Orange mount.

The sound on fabrats is about the only let down on theirs. Given they always wear hats clipping a little Rhode mic to the brim of the cap is something I've seen that works really well. I'm sure their editors would appreciate it lol. Sound here is so good I don't notice it any more, that's the best compliment I can give (no sarcasm there). No more super loud grinders and quiet voices. Really well done. Very pleasant to watch.

@onepunch7632 Год назад

I know this has been said numerous times before but Hillbilly has really gotten good at his video narration. Before he was more of just a background character that occasionally chimed in but now he sounds like a natural now and really adds a lot of value to the videos. 👏

@dhag72 Год назад

The storage box below the fuel filler, needs drain holes in the bottom. And rain that hits the door will pool in the bottom and eventually rot out, I'd put a drain hole near each corner, and or give the bottom a whack in the center to make it concave upwards just enough that water will run toward the corners. Just an idea!

@mikebrown788 Год назад

My only hindsight that I had on my flatbed was I didn't put any light taps on the headache rack for work lights. I thought of it after it was completely done. Not sure if that one has any or not. Great video as always.

@donwillits4513 Год назад

If it was mine I would have dropped the headache rack down close to roof level.

@westonmandelko2833 Год назад

That sure is a great looking bed, the only thing I'd change if it were mine would be to cut the headache rack down six or eight inches. It appears to be almost a foot taller than the roofline.

@wynottgivemore9274 Год назад

Great idea, but since they've already dropped it off for powder coating I think it won't happen.

@Carinae108 Год назад

Hi guys, just love the work you do - and the humour! Seeing the new bed sitting on the truck, can't help wondering if the headache rack could do with being shortened a bit, to to better match the rear window and truck roof height. Just an errant thought....

@scottdm9707 Год назад

Agree that navy blue would look better, but black may be more practical to touch up with a rattle can when it gets dinged up.

@darenm617 Год назад

@maxironpaw Год назад

A nice detail on the new flat bed is that the taillights mount vertically. It's so cliche when they're mounted on an angle. Subtle reminder that the dude who designed and built it is a master of his craft.

@danjones1365 Год назад

Except the fuel filler is improperly oriented, the hitch mount needs reinforcing, has a missing stake pocket , and headache rack design doesn’t come close to matching truck cab body lines.

@maxironpaw Год назад

@@danjones1365 I don't think it's fair to gig the guy on the fillers b/c he did not have the truck and the bed is a generic. Same goes for the headache rack - see my comment above. Missing stake pocket? Matter of opinion as the rub rail is interrupted there by the fillers. Hitch mount? Again, fr a general purpose application it was fine and, again, did not have access to the truck and possibly was unaware of Steel's use case.

@danjones1365 Год назад

Have to agree to disagree, first video they said it was custom made. I’d bet Robbie never mentioned them by name because he’s not happy with the end product, hence why he’s fixing everything. I’ve ordered and driven dozens of medium and SuperDuty trucks with standardized service/utility bodies or flatbeds. Altec/Southco/Harbor/Scelzi, never seen one with externally exposed Phillips head hinge hardware on toolbox doors!? The headache rack height is giving me a migraine.

@jaegeen Год назад

@@danjones1365 Agree regarding the height of the headache rack. Chop it down or lift the cab. On your other point, there is 'custom' and then their is 'custom'. I can engage a tailor to make me a custom suit in an off-the-rack size, or fitted to me personally. In this situation it seems that this custom bed was built by a firm that does bespoke work but not necessarily with knowledge of this particular truck or access to a representative sample. Or maybe 'standard' features/options were selected t save cost (and this way Robbie gets something to content about). We don't really know.

i love how you guys made brackets with parts off old receiver , very clever.

@runningscout14 Год назад

I was really hoping that he was also going to do some suspension upgrades to the truck in the lines if leaf springs. Air bags are good but they put stress on spots of the frame that weren't designed for that style and amount of stress. Casey LaDelle did a video talking about it.

@tylermacconnell217 Год назад

Thousands of people have out air bags on their rear Super Duty suspension with no issue. The purpose is to prevent excessive squat, not to increase capacity. Within that guideline there will be no problem with airbags

@aaronsbarker Год назад

Depends on the system they install. If it's a simple bump-stop replacement system that only helps level the load, it could add some stress to that area, but usually, those systems come with brackets that distribute the load over a larger area of the frame. There are also full 5 link replacement systems like Kelderman builds or their simpler shuttle system where a bracket just replaces the rear spring hangers and the airbags both soften the ride and level the truck when at capacity.

@Ronald-nj7jo Год назад

@fastoutnotforkids7192 Год назад

Don't forget the cargo light! You need to replace it or put new lights in it. Might just help on a night recovery one night. Because matt does some night recoveries with blue steel. Here and there.

@Atodaso-pg9kq Год назад

Robby you contradicted yourself, you said last time that was a custom bed and today you said the bed was built to go on any truck. 🤔 I agree with others, the headache rack is like 8 inches too tall. Titan makes nice extended range fuel tanks.

I know it's probably too late, but if you can it would be good to make a protection arch to weld over the top of the Ford reverse camera mount.

Not sure how hard LEOs are on this in Utah, but the rear backup camera location is covering one of the three lights that are for "the three marker lamps at the top-rear of the trailer, mounted around the center line of the vehicle, are called 'identification lights. ' Their purpose is to alert following drivers that the vehicle equipped with these lights is wider than 80 inches" Disregard if you have other plans for a different set of the 3 identification lights.
