I Built A WOOD Bed For My Toyota Truck!! 

First time I see Austin fixing something by kicking it hahaha

DO NOT PAINT THE TRUCK, DO NOT PAINT THE TRUCK, DO NOT PAINT THE TRUCK!!!!! PATINA, PATINA, PATINA!!!!!!! 😅😅😅 only thing I'd add is to "fake patina" treat that roll pan to match the rest of the truck. The black looks off from the rest and you can treat it already installed. Awesome job as usual!

This is absolutely next level, Austin. That wood is NEVER something I would have expected for this build, but what an amazing result! You are a great example of what someone can accomplish with less than ideal tools, a little ingenuity and an outstanding attitude when it comes to doing things the right way. Incredible work man. The only thing I'd suggest is that if you havent done so already, pull the wood out one last time and seal the floor. Rust reformer, POR15, Duplicolor rust fix, etc...they won't stop the rust completely but they'll help keep it from getting any worse for a while - and being concealed under the wood, you won't lose any of that visible patina you're going for.

Amazing work I can’t stop watching your channel 👍 No short cuts and perfect quality

as always.... you truly do master craftsman level work. I love the theme of this build.

Love the super accurate "just kick it in" technique! 😆 Awesome work as always!

Absolutely love the look of the truck! The shiny bolts in the wood could have been a little more darker. Maybe sandblasted and the blue liquid that turns them black.

Been watching this build from the beginning, absolutely love it. That wood bed look awesome and it's great you reused that old lumber. The patina look is awesome!! I had a couple of Toyota trucks back in the day, including one just like that. Great trucks, Toyotas rule!!

As tábuas de madeira, ficaram excelentes 👏👏👏

Top notch on the boot panel beating! Love it😁

Great idea for an old truck Fyi I would think about using an old bike tube or flexible hose to put on the chains on the tailgate or else they make a racket going down the road the old school trucks used to have those on the chains the bed turned out awesome well done 👍

Impecable trabajo, muy bueno!!! Un saludo desde Argentina!!!

Looks awesome, should have ceracoated the bolts the same color as the valve cover. Keep up the good work

That wood looks sooo good!

Looks great Austin. Keep that sleeper look.

Great job! Looks awesome!

that wood bed looks and fits perfectly 💯👌

That looks great! Awesome video and such a cool old Toyota! The wood turned out great! I searched videos about diy wood bed floor and yours was one that caught my eye. (Mainly the Toyota) I'm really considering doing this to my '04 Tundra. I have some rust in the bed floor and don't really want to patch weld it all. There's so many holes. Outside of my truck is excellent and solid. I think a wood floor would look great and hide the ugly floor. Great video!

Hello from Michigan I absolutely love the wood floorl in the box.

Bed looks awesome mate! One suggestion would be painting those chains a matte black to someone follow the burnt timber look :) Keep it up mate!

Beautiful work.

Came out great. Lots of attention to detail.

Painting the truck plus wooden truckbeds looks good and more classic looks

Adding weight to the back(within reason) just helps with 50/50 balance. Spot on work brother. You’re doing it up right! Minus the wheels(I’ll keep hating em til they get browned, lol) But seriously, everything’s perfect. Seriously.

I'd paint the tray under the wood just for piece of mind. I think the wood would look good on the back of the tailgate too.

That truck bed looks awesome.

Looks awesome 👍

Keep up the good work your doing...

That looks great man

I have a Nissan hardbody, this is what I want to do to it. Thanks for your very awesome video man! Good job 😎

Austin wow you are a manufacturing machine now you go and pull out carpentry skills 👏

Man I’m so glad you did this.

That's a good Ole' fashioned hot rod! Love it

Bed looks great!

Nice work 💙 👍

Looking good man

The bed looks great

So freaking sweet dude, great work!👌🏼

Love it!

The wooden bed looks great! Excellent job! Better slap it one more time to make sure it stays put 😂. I liked the edits and style of this video 🤙

diggin it...good look...keep on keepin on brother

Digging it! 😎

The wood japans perfection as the brand, congratulations

Looks good

You're such a builder

Good Job Friend. Greetings from Venezuela................

Very nice indeed!

Looks killer

Most excellent.

Looks Very nice! I am just worried about the surface tension holding water between the wood and the steel bed... Might be problematic over the longer term..

Impressive!

Love yr videos. If u make it, I will always watch it.

Me encanto tu video felicidades, tengo una pick up 1981 toyota y he querido ponerle el piso de madera gracias por tu idea. Las luces traseras son de ese modelo? Saludos desde Leon Guanajuato Mexico

Looks great! I really hope you do something with the outside of the truck. That bed, interior, wheels, engine bay, and chassis/suspension looks so good that exterior just seems wrong to leave all banged up and rusted looking

buen trabajo

Barnwood bed with the old truck would be sick basically how it looks already but I'd leave more of the texture of the wood just lightly sand it and stain it looks amazing

You did one of the best restoration I have seen, bit disappointed by not treating the bed before placing wood on it 😢

Put mountain bike tubes over the chains to quiet them down. ;)

If it doesn't fit... Kick that SOB!!! What a great looking mini truck. Out standing work on the bed.

Perfect.. 😎👍

Premium build my dude. Don’t give in on the people howling about a paint job. This is the perfect balance between refined precision and rustic patina. It makes the build very unique. Plus you will never have to worry about those tailgate chains scratching the bed :)

What about the hole you cut in the floor of the bed? Any chance the suspension will hit the wood and crack it?

did you make drainage holes in tha steel bed? unless you keep rain off it its going to pool on th e bed underneth the wood

That wood looks good in there man. I definitely would drive that thing anywhere.

Looks awesome. Was curious what the gray plastic around the taillights is for though?

usually I speed up RU-vid videos by 1.5x or 2x but for this I was 1x Awesome !!!

ما هي مهنتك بالفعل كل شي تجيد عمله بشكل رائع

nice!!!!!

Black trim to cover the seams would be the business.

Dope

We are waiting to see the paintwork

I think you have to use badliner that is going to protect and look great

Not intending to do a perfect job but turns out better than my floorboards in my house!

يجمع الاتربة والأوساخ تحته الخشب ويسرع في الصدأ بس حلو 👏🏻

Austin, do yourself a favor, go back and either loctite those nuts or use Nylock nuts. There is more vibration than you think back there and those nuts will back off, even with a spot lock washer. Personally I would have colored those carriage bolt heads, but that's just me.

I’m going to raptor line mine looking good tho

so im somewhat confused ive been watching your build of this truck but why haven't you sorted the bodywork yet its a bit like the film "Christine" where he puts new wipers on a cracked window screen .. or are you leaving the bodywork beat up ?

You’ll need to put a cut bicycle tire tube over those tailgate chains because they’ll rattle so bad you’ll want to murder em. Lol. Minitrucks rule!!! I have a 4wd bodied 84’ std cab short bed on some old Skool TSW Hockenheim R wheels. 🤙🏼💯

I would paint the inside of the bed gloss white to go along with the engine bay and flat clear the rest of the truck.

This dude a menace the way he use some of them tools💀💀

So powerful kicks 🤣💪💪

I like the back side best

I know you said you wouldn't paint it, and you shouldn't, but with that wood bed it is screaming for a full tailgate Mexican sunset mural. Hahahahah. Looking good.

Should have treated the rust. With the weather you have it’s gonna be bad. You sell the other truck? Haven’t seen it lately. It is why I got hooked on your channel.n

nice

Hello, why you ditent remove the rust before you put the boards ??????????

Did you need to drop the tank to bolt the wood down

What kind of wood did you use?

❤️❤️❤️

I like how it look you me a idea 💡 to that to my 1988 4x4 toyota pickup

Good to see you and your other half share the same passion. Unlike women here in my country. 🇧🇮

Can I put a wood bed on my 04 Silverado 2500hd?

How bout the rust on the bed?

Heat treated wood is rot resistant. Btw, I guess your ancestors were Finns from Ostrobothnia, Niemelä is the Finnish way to write your surname.

looks really nice but You could atleast paint the bed with primer just sugestion,,,

I know you said you are not going to paint it but you have to it’s a nice truck

Monna tlhe Austin o morena monna!

Awesome video👍👍👍, but how could we contact with you?

Can’t wait to see the comments on this one

Royal blue please for the colour
