Bad ass bed and pickup 🤘

Nothing sounds better than a 12 V p pump

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

Beautiful, great look and great craftsmanship. Keep up your great work

You have everything down to a science!! Great job!!

Another awesome build. I've got the Evolution brand version of that saw. I love it you can't beat it for cutting plate.

Awesome build thinking about putting one on my 2008 crew cab shorted cummins

the mud flaps are awesome!!!

Awesome... your stuff rocks dude

Sweet Buddy... Awesome job!!

you did an awesome job man !!

So unreal, that truck looks exactly like my truck... and I'm getting ready to put a flat bed on it too lmao

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

Damn that's nice, you got yourself another subscriber

The deck turned out amazing as usual, we’re those sections of snowmobile track Mitch used for his mud flaps?

Perfect! Great job!

U did an awesome job.looks good

looks sick

need to get rid of my crusty box and get one of these..

nice work guys !

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.

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 .

Man that bed an trk.looks stinkin nice.

Killer truck 👍

Great job !

that is a great looking flat bed you built.

THAT THING IS AWESOME MAN!!!! I WANT IT FOR MY 2ND GEN!!!!

The mud flaps are killer. Why is the headache rack so narrow, though?

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!

Would and been badass to use the uprights of the headache rack as stacks

Lookin good bro. Diggin the mudflaps too. Lol

Need to level the truck

looks mad max spec ops

What kinda saw blades in your circular do you prefer? and why?

This is neat

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

looks awesome. what kind of saw blade were you using

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?

SLED TRACK MUD FLAPS FOR THE WIN

info on buying some plans

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?

Is it just me or would that rear piece that you opened the video with make badass running board/rocker guards?

Nice job but no “tie downs” included. 👀

Now you need to build a new cab for it so it all matches LOL

Badass

Really nice work man 👍but think the bed needs new truck lol

Looks good. But why not fix the windshield with all those cracks first... :P

what kind of blade goes on that skill saw?

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

Awesome job man, matches the truck great!

Good dude---- But what can you do with it?

Sweet.

Very nice work, but I hope the owner installs the front driveshaft and probably a transfer case soon...

what is the gear ratio in your rear diff?

Hey what series is the Milwaukee saw and blade is that? @optimalwelding?

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.

What blade do you put in your saw?

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

What the feet of the deck ?

Quality work as always, that Matt black really suits the rest of the truck. Have you ever galvanized one of your decks?

@Cumminslife

No not sure that I would want to. Not a fan of galvanizing. Try welding around it you'll find out why.

That 1st gen have a 28 inch lift or is that a 45 inch ?

Awesome A 100% better.......I like it...

Cool!

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!!!

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

@Cumminslife

6 жыл бұрын

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.

Should of integrated a couple of stacks into the bed build .
