    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.

      Thanks! And yes! I’m considering D-rings or maybe rub rails so I can make some removable bed sides in the future. Either way, she needs some tie down points for sure! And I completely forgot to cap the ends haha but I’m thinking I’ll run some wires through the tubes for extra lighting before I cap them. Maybe I’ll make a video about it when I do!

  • @Jon_B_Quick
    @Jon_B_Quick Год назад +12

    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 .

    This is the flatbed I am considering for a similar chevy 1/2 ton I am building. Yours is one of the cleanest looking beds I have seen. If I may ask, what is your total cost in materials? Are you planning on adding a "headache" rack in the future? How about mudflaps or wheel wells in the rear to protect the underside of your bed? I know that by your title your intended to build this at least cost, but now are you considering any updates or additions, such as running lights on the sides of the bed, towing mirrors, and the like? Thanks for sharing your video, and best wishes on your future projects.

    Ole Bessie is looking amazing. Can't believe the transformation from what she was when you got her. I dog the flatbed.... one suggestion/heads up.

      I appreciate it! And that’s a great suggestion because I’ve seen it happen on a lot of docks here in Florida! I was surprised though because I had to remove them for the 4x4 conversion so they were off for a while, and when I went to put them back on I realized they actually shrunk a little bit so the bolts were difficult to get back it. I think the sun may have dried them out a bit, but she ended up going back together with a little persuasion lol
