THE WOOD YOUR USING IS A SOFT WOOD PINE IT WILL ROT QUICKLY ,ITS BEST TO USE A HARD WOOD LIKE ASH ,MAPLE ,OR OAK ITS SPENDY BUT WILL LAST A LOT LONGER
The deck turned out amazing as usual, we’re those sections of snowmobile track Mitch used for his mud flaps?
So unreal, that truck looks exactly like my truck... and I'm getting ready to put a flat bed on it too lmao
Awesome build thinking about putting one on my 2008 crew cab shorted cummins
smh...painting and wearing only a dust mask...
looks great! I plan on building something similar for my '90 w350 come fall, already has a flatdeck on it but its a pretty sad excuse for one. Sure wish mine was a crew cab though! Cheers from Alberta!
Nice job but no “tie downs” included. 👀
Now you need to build a new cab for it so it all matches LOL
Looks good. But why not fix the windshield with all those cracks first... :P
Another awesome build. I've got the Evolution brand version of that saw. I love it you can't beat it for cutting plate.
DAAMNN that was a straight box??? Dats money in da bank my due ... wha kine uv bizzness you runnin home's ... i mean essay
I know I’m commenting kinda late but I see that you sell all the plans for these. Have you made something for the first gen cummins in a long box with this flat bed design?
I understand the side effects of welding around it, but for a corrosion resistance finish I think it's hard to beat. Thanks for the reply anyway. Loving your work.
SLED TRACK MUD FLAPS FOR THE WIN
I noticed the back of his cab is cracked he is going to wanna fix that sooner then later I had a ext cab do the same and it wrecked the hole cab it got so bad sweet truck though
The mud flaps are killer. Why is the headache rack so narrow, though?
What kinda saw blades in your circular do you prefer? and why?
Would and been badass to use the uprights of the headache rack as stacks
Damn that's nice, you got yourself another subscriber
You have everything down to a science!! Great job!!
need to get rid of my crusty box and get one of these..
Have you built any trays for smaller 4x4s like toyota hilux or equivalent??
Aussie bloke watching the yank tanks here and im like wow you guys can get away with so much more in the way of suspension lifts
Here in Australia were only allowed 2" suspension lift anything higher and its gotta have engineering certificates
No haven't built many small trays yet but I do have some good ideas for them. I'm from Australia so very familiar with your road laws there. We can get away with basically anything since vehicles dont require an inspection to be registered for road use.
Only time you need inspection is if cop specifically gives you one but still very very easy to pass vs aussie inspections.
Bed could b saved give it to somebody who would want and/or need it that would fix it...
If you want it come take it.
Optimal Welding where are you located? I'm looking for a short bed for my crew cab swap.
Jake Burgess sorry man i scrapped it. Tried to get rid of it for a month but no one wanted it.
Hahaha i bought this truck from cariboo few months ago
Love the wood on the deck/bed. Not sure why nobody does it. I am going to build a flatbed for my 2002 dodge when we get settled. We just put our house up for sale.( what a pain in the ass. Just got my shop right . Next one will be perfect. I will get plans from you . You do real good work and I actually like every aspect of your build, normally there is something stupid done to screw up the whole thing . You had a good teacher with attention to detail that very few care about now. Thanks for the video . I’ll be in touch .
aucken fawsome dude
Sweet build as always dude, nice to see the seems hid on the front of the headache rack not that many people have that much attention to detail nowadays
Man that bed an trk.looks stinkin nice.
Nothing sounds better than a 12 V p pump
Can you make a 3D sketch on your website of what a custom wench bumper and offroad long bed would look like on a 2nd gen extended cab 3500
Might have to get them if i like it
that bed would bring good money in the north east
Moparkid814
flatbedmytruck.com
it would here in the rocky mountains as well
Truck would bring more money with the og bed then this bed.
Very nice work, but I hope the owner installs the front driveshaft and probably a transfer case soon...
Awesome... your stuff rocks dude
Awesome A 100% better.......I like it...
I'm about to conver my single cab long bed to crew cab short bed any way I could get the measurement from wheel to wheel centers?
Sweet Buddy... Awesome job!!
that truck had a dove tail deck with a fifth wheel side skirt tool boxes with stainless trim..............
this is an awesome bed you should think about having it mass produced
Michael Bradshaw nah, leave quality to him. Mass production would probably take some quality out and it would remove some uniqueness from his badass beds
Hey what series is the Milwaukee saw and blade is that? @optimalwelding?
info on buying some plans
Really nice work man 👍but think the bed needs new truck lol
Should of integrated a couple of stacks into the bed build .
u build some nice ass shit
looks mad max spec ops
How much for a deck..I'm in kelowna.99 2500 dodge
Shortbox/longbox? wood/steel deck?
Send me an email. Optimalwelding@gmail.com
Optimal Welding short...wood deck
looks awesome. what kind of saw blade were you using
What program do you create your drawings/models in? You do some amazing work, inspiring for sure.
Google sketchup!
@@Cumminslife Cool, I always wrote that program off, but i'll have to give it a chance.
@@Box545x39 Its more than adequate for this work. We are not designing spaceships
@@Cumminslife Not yet! Get some anti gravity tech and suddenly you'll be building flatbeds for spaceships.
Bad ass bed and pickup 🤘
Nice build as always, hey can you film some footage of your truck with the 12 valve tune in it and some sound and maybe some towing?Just curious how she sounds. I think your bed builds look better than anything that is commercially available out there at least down in Wa. Keep up the awesome vids.
Yeah sure need to retorque my headstuds today so il grab a video on test drive.
Do you have a number
you did an awesome job man !!
That 1st gen have a 28 inch lift or is that a 45 inch ?
Need to level the truck
Hey how is your clutch holding up? I just put a new dual disc clutch in my truck. I'm not sure what I think about it yet.
Yeah I got a southbend dual disk, very happy with it. no issues yet.
Optimal Welding that's what I got too. Does it rattle at all? Clutch out mine rattles and low rpm. I was expecting some noise getting rid of the dual mass but man its loud.
Yes thats normal. sometimes if you kick clutch at idle it will be quiet but otherwise just ignore it. Put a bigger exhaust on and you wont hear it anymore!!!
Optimal Welding hahaha. Ok done. Airdogs in the back seat ready to go in. Exhaust next I guess. Thanks man.
Lookin good bro. Diggin the mudflaps too. Lol
Killer truck 👍
Badass
Quality work as always, that Matt black really suits the rest of the truck. Have you ever galvanized one of your decks?
No not sure that I would want to. Not a fan of galvanizing. Try welding around it you'll find out why.
that is a great looking flat bed you built.
looks good is that the prius crewcab
what kind of blade goes on that skill saw?
What blade do you put in your saw?
This is neat
Good dude---- But what can you do with it?
looks sick
what is the gear ratio in your rear diff?
400th liked!! And supper dope!!
neris masiulis I was 666 hmmm
THAT THING IS AWESOME MAN!!!! I WANT IT FOR MY 2ND GEN!!!!
U did an awesome job.looks good
First!
the mud flaps are awesome!!!
What the feet of the deck ?
nice work guys !
Cool!
Great job !
Perfect! Great job!
Awesome job man, matches the truck great!
Sweet.
Is it just me or would that rear piece that you opened the video with make badass running board/rocker guards?
