Building the Ramp Truck Bed Part 2 - 1959 REO Gold Comet

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We continue with fabrication of the ramp truck/car hauler bed frame. In this round I get the main structure completed. I also make radiused box section pieces to form wheel arches and apply the same technique to form curved corners for the ramp truck bed.

    I really admire the thorough, well-thought-out process you take to the fabrication of the ramp bed. The beavertail angle determination and rear wheel curvatures were just outstanding. And the tip for bolting and attaching the bed to the frame instead of drilling and welding it to the frame are spot on. I will use these tips when I build my own ramp truck!

I enjoy seeing stuff like that done and it inspires me to do that kind of work on my projects. Thank you. Take Care

    Hey Diff, always fun to watch you work. You're way more ambitious than I am. I would have segmented they wheel arches and called it a day!:) But I do much prefer the nice graceful round arches. Here in Wisconsin, at 7:30 AM, it's a wonderful -14 degrees F. We just got over 20" of snow last week, ending on Saturday morning. Fortunately no snow for about five days so I'll have time to clear everything including the roof. Yes, we have to shovel the roof😢. All three projects are "cool man" and I'm always looking forward to which one you'll be on next. Thanks for the videos and ideas I can steal for my projects!!😅
