I hope you polled out the ecpu computer , and battery on this , ? because welding on the truck with the ecpu / control modal still in the truck will damage the computer components in it , it is even notated in the owners manual not to weld on these truck do to this , these truck has so many electric components on them that can be effected or destroyed by the electric welding current ,

Yessir I took care of it. No issues.

Curious if you thought about frame flex when driving off road. I'm thinking of fabbing a flatbed for my Superduty and mounting it like a tanker. Rigid in the rear and springs up front. I'm worried if it's rigid mounted all the way around then you'd stress the frame as it tries to flex.

Ideally you want all of the flex to be in the suspension instead of the frame Offroad so I tied the bed in directly with the frame. If I take it a step further with rocksliders and a roll cage I would design those to add as much stiffness to the frame as I could as well. That’s my opinion.

How long was your tubing I’m trying to figure out how much metal I need to get for mine

I think I used about 40’ of square tube and about 32’ of round tube for the hoop and everything behind the cab. The bed is about 9’x7’.

How much would somebody charge you for just the fabrication and welding

what thickness of material did you use?

Most of it is just .120” wall to keep the weight down but the C-channel is 0.25” thick.

Is that truck a 145” wheelbase

It’s a 141” wheelbase.

OSHA approved

I would have suggested you had used a two part zinc epoxy primer and a two part enamel paint. This things going to rust after a little use. At least get the brand "Undercoating In A Can" and undercoat the bottom side.

@@iamtaylorcorbett I live in Colorado, I just mean to prevent any rust. I know in other states rust isn't a big issue but you put the money in and why not have it last aslong as it can. I just said undercoating to prevent rock chips and other road grime from hurting it.

@@jr303official I definitely agree. Everything I do is an experiment. I will see how long the spray paint will last but ultimately I’d like to get the whole bed powdercoated if the spray paint doesn’t work out. I’ve used a lot of different kinds of paint but when it’s your daily driver and you have to be at work in the morning and it’s 120 miles away sometimes you have to make do with what you have.

@@iamtaylorcorbett your right, I just did my flat bed and was going to do powder coat, but went with the high zinc epoxy primer and had the whole thing encapsulated in bullet liner.

What was the thickness of your aluminum floor? How's it holding up?

My local metal supply only had 1/8” on hand so that’s what I used. Thicker would definitely be better as it’s gotten a few dents from hauling stumps but nothing too serious. I can always remove the pieces and hammer them back straight if I need to.
