The precision with which you build is off the charts. You apparently have the skills to match any and all tasks and it's been a pleasure to see your enterprise and family grow and prosper. Wish you and your family nothing but the best.👍
We've been treated this weekend. Another brilliant video, Jesse Love the through holes in the bed so you can pass through 25mm 1 ton ratchet straps. a great family video with all hands on deck. It's like an episode of the A Team where a rutsed out old truck drives in and out drives an immaculate bad ass truck with a custom fabricated bed. I laughed when Jeannine opened up the box of bed liner paint and instantly threw away in the instructions. She looks like she's going to be stealing the truck from you. Nice to see you've made progress with the telehandler, and it's arse end isn't hung from a crane anymore Keep up the great work 👏 Austin in the UK
The only thing I would do is to put pockets next to the front rack so that you could have the rear rack always on board, in case you need it, just lift it out of there and install it on the rear to be ready to transport ladders and such stuff... Great job, like to see that the whole family helped and aprreciated the end result! Thx for the vids! 👍👍👍
It’s good to see you including your family in your everyday activities. Those are memories and lessons that you will never forget and they will always remember forever. Keep building your family dreams and lives together.
Building the large garage was a smart move. Nice to have for projects and repairs. Avoid the urge to use it for storage! That's what shipping containers and trailers are for.
Looks good and I’m retired welder/ fitter/ fabricator for over 37 years experience! Through the years I’ve learned a lot about making pulling and pushing dogs for moving steel in and direction you want it to go! Plus I built my original trailer with all 6011 stick rods! I’ve used about any type of flux core wire and hard wire they make because I worked in a fabrication and a machine shop the whole time and out in the field for 12 years of that! Been there and done that! Now I’m enjoying watching you do exactly what I did for years! Plus I operated machinery on the farm while I was learning to weld! We had a chop saw to cut steel but my boss was too much into his own ideas to buy us a circular saw for cutting steel! Headache rack looks good Jesse, I like using rectangular tubing for it! As long as you paint it quick! It’s good hear your use the 345 method brother! A lot of people and young fitters don’t know that! I like the rebar look and if you have the time I like to heat the rebar red hot and twist it slowly while moving down and twisting as you heat! You have some good ideas brother! Yeah I love your big family truck Jesse, it’s going to be a sweet rig my friend! I liked the idea when you were removing the bed from it!
Love the way you folks are raising your kids in a hands off approach and let them learn from their mistakes. Another fine video Jesse. Keep them away from the big city until they are older. Let them be kids as long as you can.
While I agree with your comments .. I just need to say that there are plenty of kids who grow up in the "big city" that turn out just fine. Different skill sets are learnt .. some good .. some bad .. but city folk (for the most part) still want to raise the kids as best as they can .. just like country folk. We are more similar that different. Cheers.
Jesse - I've long enjoyed watching videos by you, Andrew C., "Dumpster Dave", as well as Jonathon Winans from North Carolina. This video stands out in my mind as the best by far of any I've seen in the last few years. The presentation was perfect with no stumbling, wasted words or wasted motion. The entire project held me "spellbound" from absolute to beginning, including the design and fabrication - step by step. I'm a retired electrical engineer from the aerospace industry with many years experience in systems design, development, and test. You demonstrated a clear ability to plan, demonstrate/explain and fabricate something with the utility, flexibility, robustness, and beauty. It was truly a pleasure watching this, including the participation of the family, perhaps one of the best benefits of the whole endeavor - "Mama's" approval, and even excitement. Great work, sir.
I had an old 68 ford f100 and I built a flatbed for it and I loved it and used it, I added a vise and a side toolbox and used it a lot! Old 68 Ford with three on the tree and a 302 with dual exhaust with thrust glass packs! Sounded like a beast coming down the road brother but that was before I had kids! Mine was a single cab short wheel base!
I also love that you show success and failures ("whoa, that didn't work") for those of us simpletons who are learning from your channel. Pretty sure you're one of the few guys who keeps it real!!!
You should use your Mag Base Drill do put a couple of holes about 6 or 7 inches from the tip of forks Jesse .. so you can put a couple of bolts in them .. to stop your stropes from sliding off when your lifting something .. and easy to take them off when not needed
I think this is the best all steel bed I have watched being built. Practical and looks great. I would have had the reverse lights at the bottom of the tail lights, but it is owners preference. Would love to see it with the side built too.
Glad I watch your video now I have some ideas to when I make my bed the only thing I would did different is not adding them lil pockets I would have put a 1 inch by 1/4 inch flat plate the length of the bed about 3/4 inches back from the edge of the bed on both sides weld it to your cross members so no matter where r how big the strap is you can hook it
The truck bed looks GREAT!!! You did a great job on it! I don't think there is anything that you couldn't do exceptionally well. Your creativity and your MANY skills amaze me every video! I can't wait until the next one(s)!
good to see someone buiding with channel instead of thin wall box tube. in the last video i was happy to see you recondize the rust issues with box tube frames, i have tried explaining that concept to so many people and no one seems to get it.
Absolutely sweet build. The ability to put you and your crew in a truck and go do a job farther away is key. Maybe a diesel fuel tank against headache rack. Some new 10 ply or heavier trailering tires and mudflaps and you are gold.
What an absolute bargain Jesse 😃 great workmanship as usual. Loving your fantastic family working together as a team ❤❤ my favorite Noah the holder of the keys is as smart as a new pin 😃😃😂. Thanks Jesse for the fantastic content we always love your videos. Tom. UK.
Watching your videos are enjoyable and packed with learning. Seeing them end is sad but, it just means more is on the way. Thanks for sharing your family, your thoughts, experience and creative expertise. Blessings Jesse. Stay safe, healthy, strong, wise and successful in the name of Our Lord Jesus. ☝🙏🙌💪
You did a fine job on that truck Jesse you're the man. It was funny when you asked your wife to put up the backrest if she wanted it, she said she was fine while driving a truck she was sitting up without using a backrest she she needed to back rest up but you're only driving on your property so it's okay. Your boys are growing up very well. Noah cracks me up when he laughs with his two missing little teeth. Your kids are a joy to watch. You and your wife are doing a great job raising your kids. Thanks for sharing the video.👍🙏💯🇺🇲
Another great video Jessie I always appreciate you getting your family involved with the videos that dog has come to understand that you're filming first bark in five years just letting all of us know I'm doing my job too thanks again for giving me something to watch in my retirement
😂😂😂 Lol Jesse ur kids are so funny 😂 and the way they talk about ur wife driving cracked me up omg 😆. Tell them ur wife and kids that they made my day 😂😂😂 . I love what you did with your truck. I think it should be ur next favorite truck. 😊
Love to your family and blessings on you guys. I'm afraid you're probably going to have to fight your wife for this truck but fortunately you guys go the same places. Congratulations again.
Hell yeah bud! I just watched your last 1 hour and 53 minute video about restoring this truck last night before going to bed. Today when I opened RUclips I realized you already had an updated video to the truck's bed that you ripped off with your excavator. This is what I call a real good timing series, better than Netflix. Here I am, you have my full attention! P.S. You and your brother had me cracking when you speak finishing a sentence with a whistle, I think, if I can recall the reference, some cartoon from the 90's use to do that, man that was freaking funny. Also when Noah said; What the hell! you stupid! 🤣
@@jmuller86 LOL yeah this is it. Xi Jinping would be proud of his character been played here (I hope he doesn't get mad LOL) ruclips.net/video/E7UqHM5bjcY/видео.html Thnkax bro I knew I have heard it somewhere else before.

Newer vehicles can have the configuration changed in the computer to turn off the turn signal lamp out indicator (hyper flash). On Fords you would use Forscan, it looks like Dodge has the Alfa OBD app. On a 2004, you probably could change the turn signal relays instead of adding resistors, but since it's already installed no need to change it.
Well made and excellent job find seeing how good the truck was. Loved the floor template. Just the same when the mediaeval church builders planned our great cathedrals in the UK.
Jesse, I love your work. As a mechanical engineer, I advise adding another connection from the bed to the truck frame near the gooseneck hitch. You’re asking a lot from the connections you have.
I used the connections that the frame originally had. Any more than that and I would have to weld to the frame on the top flange which is always frowned upon. (8) Half inch bolts to carry a max of 13,000 lbs doesnt sound like enough to you?
It’s the load path, not just the bolts. 20,000lb loaded trailer. Emergency stop. Trailer brakes may not be all they should be. That load goes from the ball, into the frame and gets reacted by 4 standoffs welded to the frame. Your standoffs are probably 1/4”, but they’re bolted to a frame that’s much thinner, so the strength of the joint is dictated by the weaker material. That load results in a shear force on those bolts that is dependent on a rusty frame bracket. The single shear strength on a 1/2 grade 5 bolt is only 1500 lbs, and the capacity of that connection could be less if it’s significantly rusted. A couple shear plates that tie your frame the truck frame in the middle would add a lot of strength.
In the UK we call this kind of conversion a trayback. They are usually shortened right behind the rear wheels to minimise the overhang , possible because rear coil springs are the norm here.
I’m a relatively long time subscriber (before Jesse helped AC put the addition on his castle). I think the last two videos on this free, sad old truck may be my favorite and I’ve pretty much watched them all. I really can’t say why except you turned a scrap heap into a really nice truck and you did it the right way. Your editing skills are now great, I love the long format pieces, and I think the new workspace has already paid for itself.
Pretty nice free truck Jesse or kinda free in a way! Good job brother, looks like the family likes it! Thanks for sharing my friend, awesome two videos and really great explanation of everything! Kirk from Louisiana sending prayers and positive vibes to you and your family my friend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻💯💯💯
7/21/24...fab up new 8ft steel flat bed for white Dodge..with kids supervising...💪😊 ..yup, another Jesse great video! Love watching all your shop tools, welding etc.(hummm....you need an overhead track or A-frame portable crane) for projects. All good 2day! Love to see family helping! Great stuff Jesse!😊💪👍🍺
Double whammy from Jesse! It doesn't get better than this on a weekend, thanks broda 👊🏻
The precision with which you build is off the charts. You apparently have the skills to match any and all tasks and it's been a pleasure to see your enterprise and family grow and prosper. Wish you and your family nothing but the best.👍
We've been treated this weekend. Another brilliant video, Jesse
Love the through holes in the bed so you can pass through 25mm 1 ton ratchet straps.
a great family video with all hands on deck. It's like an episode of the A Team where a rutsed out old truck drives in and out drives an immaculate bad ass truck with a custom fabricated bed.
I laughed when Jeannine opened up the box of bed liner paint and instantly threw away in the instructions. She looks like she's going to be stealing the truck from you.
Nice to see you've made progress with the telehandler, and it's arse end isn't hung from a crane anymore
Keep up the great work 👏 Austin in the UK
Great work. Not a bad price too. You knocked it out of the park... Happy wife, happy life.
Did he say how much it cost to build it. I must of missed it if he did.
The only thing I would do is to put pockets next to the front rack so that you could have the rear rack always on board, in case you need it, just lift it out of there and install it on the rear to be ready to transport ladders and such stuff...
Great job, like to see that the whole family helped and aprreciated the end result!

thats a good idea, dont know why I didnt think of that
It’s good to see you including your family in your everyday activities. Those are memories and lessons that you will never forget and they will always remember forever. Keep building your family dreams and lives together.
Jesse, great job on the flatbed! All the hard work has paid off.
Thank you for sharing 👌 😊
Building the large garage was a smart move. Nice to have for projects and repairs.
Avoid the urge to use it for storage! That's what shipping containers and trailers are for.
i feel called out

Thanks. Its good to hear that from a guy in your field of work
Literally just finished the last video 🤘🏻 thank you Jesse
Same haha, perfect timing!
Jesse's work ethic is second to none. The amount of projects he gets done is something else.
Saw the comment did the same it’s great trump 2024❤
Awesome 2 videos in the same week I love it. Thanks jesse
The garage is really paying dividends, and you are the man to best utilize that asset. Always appreciate the great videos.
Love the way you folks are raising your kids in a hands off approach and let them learn from their mistakes. Another fine video Jesse. Keep them away from the big city until they are older. Let them be kids as long as you can.
I will keep them away from big cities forever hopefully. They like the country

Looks like your wife is happy to have the truck and seems like you got a heck of a deal. Happy wife happy life.
Finally someone who knows how to spray paint properly. Looks good man.
What a great revival. Thanks J, and brothers/family for your awesome videos!
The frame ending up square is by experience, not luck. Excellent work

Really enjoyed this build with the 2 videos Jess 👍
Cheap and easy are two very relative terms. Yet it all seemed to work out and look very nice. Thanks for including us in Mr. Jesse.
Jesse's videos are longer than his shorts. Legend.
😂
Dont hate on the ankle length cargos
I think this is the best all steel bed I have watched being built. Practical and looks great. I would have had the reverse lights at the bottom of the tail lights, but it is owners preference. Would love to see it with the side built too.
Most of the time it’s how good you brace something before you weld it out! Looks great Jesse! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My old middle school wood shop teacher taught me the measure twice cut once rule. Great job getting it perfectly squared up.
That was a great save of that truck…
Glad I watch your video now I have some ideas to when I make my bed the only thing I would did different is not adding them lil pockets I would have put a 1 inch by 1/4 inch flat plate the length of the bed about 3/4 inches back from the edge of the bed on both sides weld it to your cross members so no matter where r how big the strap is you can hook it

Jesse it's so gratifying being able to build something to your precise specifications, and to have a shop in which to do it as well, so cool.
good to see someone buiding with channel instead of thin wall box tube. in the last video i was happy to see you recondize the rust issues with box tube frames, i have tried explaining that concept to so many people and no one seems to get it.
Oh yea . Box tube is only good when its vertical or near vertical. Horizontal needs to be c channel
Watching from Sydney Australia. Great video Jesse. As a grandfather I loved the family shots as well. Your kids will love this in 25 years time !
I sit at work and watch your videos all day, you're a great guy. Greetings from Russia!!. I like it. :)
Great video and excellent build! Inspiring. Thank you!
Absolutely sweet build. The ability to put you and your crew in a truck and go do a job farther away is key. Maybe a diesel fuel tank against headache rack. Some new 10 ply or heavier trailering tires and mudflaps and you are gold.
Always impressive, for someone who's always had problems with a tape measure, a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work.
Turnend out good. A family Truck , so cheap and well quality made from you
Love that you include the whole family Jesse. Keep the videos coming, they're so good and educational. 😊
Great family project Jess.
Nice to see Mrs M.
Good luck with your new ride..👍👍👨👩👧👦
Congrats Jesse, on building ur own Very Heavy Flatbed for ur newest Dodge Truck. looks cool.
Your family cracks me up! Been fun to watch the truck build...
nice work, you can be proud of yourself ( which you are 😀) Funny how your wife reacts to adjusting the seat
You are really stepping up your game, having your family helping out. Great job on the truck, and your projects . Can not wait for next post

Great for Hay Rides! Fall is approaching, so add some Hay Bales in the back, and you can make memories with the kids!
Thanks for part 2. Really great to see this thing come together.
It was awesome to see your family get involved. The kids grow up way to fast....enjoy it now.

Great videos. I especially enjoy that you involve the family in what you’re doing.
Lovin your content from Canada! Your boys are hilarious.
Hey Jessie I really enjoyed your build and you did a great job thanks
It was good to see your wife helping out and doing some of the painting. Nice Bed. Keep the Video's coming. I will be watching. Cheers Stew.
Fantastic job jessie real family project a tough of paint to really add a touch of class to it
Jesse, I would rather have this bed than any factory made bed hands down... Awesome work....
Great as usual also nice to see your wife taking part👍
Your wife's excitement for the electrically adjustable seat made my day
it's annoying having to slide the seat around every time you get in because the other person is a giant and you're a tiny potato
@@HamburgerAmy studs and spuds 😂
I love the mechanical one, never breaks. Electric seat stops working at one point and you have to change the motor.
Newer vehicles can have the configuration changed in the computer to turn off the turn signal lamp out indicator (hyper flash). On Fords you would use Forscan, it looks like Dodge has the Alfa OBD app.
On a 2004, you probably could change the turn signal relays instead of adding resistors, but since it's already installed no need to change it.
Beautifully done,tight,tidy,clean! Good job! Cheers!;-)!
Another epic repair/build, you have such an eye for detail Jesse. Can’t wait to see your ideal ‘truck’.
I think she likes it!! Well done Jesse!
Well made and excellent job find seeing how good the truck was. Loved the floor template. Just the same when the mediaeval church builders planned our great cathedrals in the UK.
Jesse, I love your work. As a mechanical engineer, I advise adding another connection from the bed to the truck frame near the gooseneck hitch. You’re asking a lot from the connections you have.
I used the connections that the frame originally had. Any more than that and I would have to weld to the frame on the top flange which is always frowned upon. (8) Half inch bolts to carry a max of 13,000 lbs doesnt sound like enough to you?
It’s the load path, not just the bolts.
20,000lb loaded trailer. Emergency stop. Trailer brakes may not be all they should be.
That load goes from the ball, into the frame and gets reacted by 4 standoffs welded to the frame. Your standoffs are probably 1/4”, but they’re bolted to a frame that’s much thinner, so the strength of the joint is dictated by the weaker material.
That load results in a shear force on those bolts that is dependent on a rusty frame bracket.
The single shear strength on a 1/2 grade 5 bolt is only 1500 lbs, and the capacity of that connection could be less if it’s significantly rusted.
A couple shear plates that tie your frame the truck frame in the middle would add a lot of strength.
As always. great job, Jesse! Loved seeing the whole family involved!!!!
Absolutely fabulous job. And the family reaction 👍
Good, let momma try it out! She’s going to want it Jesse!Noah loves riding in the new truck with dad, great family Jesse! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have always loved those stock Dodge wheels.... Some of my favorate ever put on stock trucks
I’m a sucker for the old style steel wagon wheels. Look good on just about anything IMHO
They are great. I love the 3rd gen steel wheels too. Gm pyo wheels and ford alcoas are all great hd wheels.
In the UK we call this kind of conversion a trayback. They are usually shortened right behind the rear wheels to minimise the overhang , possible because rear coil springs are the norm here.
Great design. I’ll probably borrow that in a few years when I need a flat bed.
Great job! Enjoyed seeing the whole family together 🙂
That came out awesome. Nothing like getting something "Free" and making it way, way better.
Damn you made a flatbed is a day? That’s crazy 🤣
Once again you never disappoint. What a great family shot. Thanks for sharing.
Great project and video, something to be proud of making your own truck bedroom
good job mom... alot better cast than the normal crew ...
Man I know you are loving your workshop, finished or not. Truck came out great and the bed looks super.
Ha, those harbor freight toolbox carts are such a pain in the ass to put together, they’re good carts it’s just frustrating to assemble them. 😂
Great project Jesse, well done!

Nice build, good to see the family the boys are growing up fast. Be safe
I have built a few flat beds over the years and even have used 1/2 rod on the rack.im definitely going to use the inside pocket idea on the next one.
Looks awsome Jesse, great job!
The truck turned out amazing. I like the flatbed on trucks. I jokingly call king cab flatbed trucks “Mullet Trucks”
7/21/24...fab up new 8ft steel flat bed for white Dodge..with kids supervising...💪😊 ..yup, another Jesse great video!
Love watching all your shop tools, welding etc.(hummm....you need an overhead track or A-frame portable crane) for projects. All good 2day! Love to see family helping! Great stuff Jesse!😊💪👍🍺
