Your build just popped up in our feed. Very well done. We are currently working on a Flatbed Camper Frame now. As seen on our channel. Great to see how you approached such things as frame, boxs, wheel fenders and lights to name a few. Very cool thank you for sharing. Mark (& Teresa)
I can't remember exactly, that was 5 years ago, but I think I used 3 X 3 by .188" wall for the main frame because the trailer hitches mount on them, and 2 x 4 by .120" wall on top of that
The passenger door on the truck when I got it had the upper window rail damaged while it was open somewhere so I replaced the doors with some 2003 Yukon doors , this truck originally had all manual windows and locks and I went to power doors and locks. One thing I might point out on adding power stuff is you better be very comfortable with wiring or plan on spending big bucks to have the wiring done, I spent most of a winter at the kitchen table tracing each switch and circuit and drawing up the wiring harness to make it work.
At 0:18 seconds into the video you can see the Yukon doors leaning on the wall, they had some plastic cladding on the bottom of them so I got a Wagner Furno heat gun and very carefully took it off, with that Wagner gun I can take off decals or anything that's glued to paint and it looks like it never was there, there's videos on RUclips showing how to do it
LOL while I'm not exactly sure where the term came from I believe it started in race car haulers; it's just a style of bed for towing, if you google toterhome you get a motorhome made for towing a trailer (or hauling the vehicle inside the motorhome in some cases) and toter truck same thing without the motorhome.

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you close the holes from taking the large mirrors off?

how much in material you spent
Around $3000
@@nitrostreet- what is the bed weight of this thing? It isn't too heavy for the truck?
@@stevensaxon8888 From the spring height and the way it drives it's considerably lighter than the bed that was on it when I bought it.
Good looking built. Great finished project. What was your total cost on the bed you built?
Regardless of cost you have a great looking project that you finished. 😎
@@MHFtractor Thanks, I used Cold Rolled steel for everything which is more expensive that hot rolled but alot easier to prep for paint.
Awesome job..what guage did you use for the skirt?
I used 16 gauge on the sides of the bed, thanks!
Toter? This gotta be a Country term. Toter means "Dead". Great video though. Thanks for sharing.
