- Here I install the B&W Flatbed Kit on this bed I'm building but there is
more than one way to skin a cat so take this as a suggestion on your project and stay safe.

Some really nice fabrication man, super clean welds..thanks for the upload
B&W makes some good stuff. I didn't know they sold weld in stuff, but now thanks to you, I do. I did check out Amazon and there it was. Nice welds.
Enjoying that series so far! Great work bro. Hey great music btw! Keep it up
Best music of any video yet.
Nice workmanship, as I watched the video, Experience told me that you forgot the hole for the Ball , you acknowledged that later, your skill and workmanship will provide a living for you through out your working career, Best Regards from a Retired Union Ironworker Local 433
Chuck Lenhart thank you sir I appreciate it
Thanks again For this wonderful video very useful information
I called for estimates today on steel boy was I shocked. My estimate was wrong by like $300 and I pulled out old invoices to compare and I was speechless. No matter what happens my build will start this year.
Jorge Serna steel prices have definitely gone up that’s for sure
Dang that’s some jazzy truck bed makin’ music!
Great job, looks great and an inspiration. Maybe more tripod work, less shaky cam
Nice job tk for Teaching
Did you set this hitch behind the axle centerline? You know this will Jack with the towing characteristics of the truck and trailer right? You want to be in forward of the axle centerline to correct this. Otherwise, where does the front/rear bias weight differential come from? Is the bed going to be adjustable?
Yep wasn’t intentional but it happened
What size square tubing did you use
How much weight do you think that hitch support will hold ? I usually pull a car trailer loaded or a boat with my truck do you think I would need a beefier support ?
Thanks for getting back to me
I just put 40 hrs this week plus today and still cant finish my Titanic.....I am about to do the cut out for license plate, weld all seams and leave it ready for the deck install.
great video...it could use a little more sax though. I felt like I was listening to Duke Silver's Greatest Hits.
Lol , sax time
@j_moffitt what model welder are you using?
How did you know how much material you would need to build your flatbed? I'm asking because I'm interested in building my own for my Ram
unless you have plans that tell you, you may need to take measurements and make up your own either on a piece of graph paper or on a computer and that would give you a rough idea.
What kind of welder are you using?
miller 252 mig
Is the mount behind the center line of rear axle?
I think in the previous video he said that when he built his four link, he moved the axle back slightly, so the hitch should be close to the axle, even though it's closer to the rear of the bed.
gooseneck will be about center line on axle
Your making a nice bed but why are you making it so heavy
My 2 ton long bed weighs a ton.
Made the same mistake of not drilling my hole even after watching your video 🤦🏽
Happens to the best of us
The square bottom of the ball is it 2" by 2" . Any help Thanks
the b and w ball itself is 2&1/2'' by 2&1/2''
Are you just doing one pass on your welds or are you making multiple passes?
IttyBitty 12 most material here is only 1/8” & 3/16” so one pass will do most but I’ll add more if I think it needs it, for t joints you want the throat of the weld to meet minimum thickness of whatever you’re joining and same applies for butt welds and such
Are you wrapping corners as well? I weld structural steel running 1/16 70 series electrode with dual shield c25 and structurally speaking if u wrap corners the whole weld becomes as strong as the weakest bead. However the metal around the weld is actually weaker than the weld itself
As soon as the ball dropped I saw it
Can you give me a material list I love the first design and I'm ready to build mine lol if you don't mind thanks
It will vary on the size of the bed and layout you decide to make. I build everything out of tube of varying sizes and thicknesses, heavier stress areas I add stronger materials and add less stronger materials where its not needed to save on weight. I use 1/8" plate for the deck, skirts, and just about everything else. I very seldom actually draw out a design when I decide to build one I just let mind run wild and make changes as I go and usually turns out ok for the most part haha.
I know it would me alot of trouble but if love to have a material list. I'm about to build this bed on my f250
I used roughly 2 sticks for 2x3x3/16” rectangle tube 3-5 sticks of 2x3x1/8” tube depending on how far apart you spread em and the length of the bed and like 4 sheets of 4x8’ 1/8” plate, again by length and width of bed, then you’ll need some odds and ends of other tubes and channel to make it sit right and some 3/8” flat bar to use for the mounting plates, I used 2x2” tube for the headache rack but you can use whatever you want
@@j_moffitt awesome that's more plate than i thought . Welp wish me luck lol
He likes saying and ahh a lot
