- In this video, I used my laptops microphone to narrate a compilation of clips from constructing the bed I built for my Ford Ranger. If this is interesting, subscribe and stay tuned because a lot has happened and a Part 2 is out and 3 is on the way!
Hey you killed it....that's one bad ass Ranger....Danger Ranger
I put one on my 93 ranger about five years ago. Its just a basic flatbed on it though. Its awesome to see someone else build one out of wood.
Thanks for posting this. I've been wanting to do something like this with my '83, and you're right - nobody seems to do this kind of build with Rangers. Which is a shame, because it's a good look.
Hey dude, good job and thanks for sharing this on RUclips. Finally someone built a wooden flatbed with wheel wells, I hate when they make a completely flat one and build it too tall. Put part 2 out please!
Thank you for the comment man! I've always felt the same way about really tall and really flat beds that just aren't aesthetic to me! I've been poking around at doing part two but will get started on it much quicker now!
Whats the point of a flatbed with wheel wells? It just takes away space.
I used 3 inch square tubing as a frame with 4 inch wide wooden decking. Then i found a 45 degree fuel filler pipe, flush mount fuel filler cap (for a boat) and a cheap breather filter for the fuel tank.
Young man this is awesome stuff.
Great job. I like your candid appearance. Normal natural making your video is good.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
I was thinking about doing something like this for my 93 Mazda, looks nice 👍🏾
Great job. Believe in yourself, little brother.
Thanks, man!
great video man. please make part 2!!
Thanks for the video. Been thinking of doing this to my 1988 Ranger, my bed is rusted out bad.. Anyway, this video has definitely made my mind up. Thanks again!! Subscribed
Awesome 👌
Looks great.
Right on man . looks good.
Nice build. Just watched it all. Going to do a video on my Silverado bed build.
Thank you so much! Best of luck to you! If you make any videos, I'll be sure to check them out!
Zane Hudgeons. Got some videos i need to edit asap. Probably 15. Doing sand blasting , and random projects. Check my channel out.
Pretty cool. I'm in the process of building a wood flatbed for my duramax. I torched the wood and stained it heavy with deck stain.
i realize I'm kind of randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to watch newly released movies online?
@Nehemiah Kylan try FlixZone. You can find it on google =)
@Grayson Quinn Yea, I have been watching on Flixzone for since march myself :D
@Grayson Quinn thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it !!
@Nehemiah Kylan Happy to help :)
I looked at old clothes dryer tubs from scrap dryers as fenders. Not wood, but it is an option. Most are quite a bit larger diameter than an oil drum. They are relatively strong and I noticed that some had bolted on "paddles" or whatever the things inside are called that push the clothes around the drum.
Just unbolt them.
Did you use pressure-treated wood? Did you build an access port to get to the gas tank?
the reason why people don't do wooden flat bed is that wood shrinks over time and its heavier
Good job man. I see a few things I would do differently, but you'll figure it out as you go along. Again, good job.
what would you do differently?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My cousin did something similar to this. It looked great, but one issue was it kept water in the frame and caused more rot than normal. Something to consider for the rest of you
That's hella cool I'm looking for ideas for my 87 ranger
How much did it cost to make the bed ?
Sweet
Thank you!
Wow. So many possitive comments. U seem like a super guy and all but good heavens man - that is so weird!
Honestly not sure how to feel about this comment😂 but thanks for checking it out!
How did u fasten the bed to the frame
Lag bolts through frame into the wooden cross sectional pieces
Im gonna do this to my ranger in the near future, i hit a tree avoiding a deer in a curve and it tore half of the bed off
I am about to do this to my truck
Great job man!
Do you have any plans on doing an actual lift on it with bigger tires?
How do you attach the bed to the frame?
how much was the build?
I'm pretty sure the whole bed was about $150!
What are you doing with the bed you took off the truck
Isaac honeycutt took it to the junk yard and traded it for fender flares, and a cop spot light for the ranger
Zane Hudgeons was is rusted out
Not bad at all
Thats not going to last. It will rot if you do not treat it.
1.5 years later it's still there
What was the weight difference?
I actually never even considered it, I will try to get it on a scale tonight and look up what it should be stock
What wheels are those
Cheap steelies that I got from Rough Country, I belive 15x8 and were only about 45 bucks a wheel brand new!

i like your flat bed
i wish you could send me your lpanes for your flatbed so i can do my ranger like yours
Hey, how has the bed held up over the last 5 years? I just built one now everyone is telling me that a wood bed will just fall apart going down the highway! I know better but I’m interested in hearing what if any problems arise over the long term. Thanks
Well mine did great! Right up until I raptor lined it.. video coming soon about that bad idea, hopefully you used a different method of sealing it!
@@ZanyBuildCo the frame is treated lumber, I floored it with 10”w X 1 1\4” aluminum planks that are used on semi trailers. I did seal the frame with a good quality barn an fence paint. I put strips of 3/4” thick rubber mat between the bed frame and truck frame rails to allow for frame flex. I’ll watch for the video!
@@ronnie32567 sure sounds like you made some better choices than I! I'd love to see it!
@@ZanyBuildCo I’ll make a video and send you the link
How did you fasten it to the frame
Drilled probably 3/8" holes in the frame where the 2x6s lined up with it and ran some lags up into the boards, I think 6 in total on mine
Thanks!!
