Great work. You sir, are a true craftsman. But take it from an old man, invest in a quality pair of safety glasses. You never know when a chip of metal could fly off and ruin your life.
I second that! And not just with metal, I was cutting wood and some pieces got into my eye and cut my eye. It was a scary moment. Went to the ER and they gave me some eye drops that would heal my eye but that’s exactly what they said “why weren’t you wearing safety glasses?”
Amen.. took my nephews left eye 3 months to recover from a small sliver of metal that took $3,000 in surgery/antibiotics.
So glad I live in Canada , no medical bills like that
I'm 15 and a beginner welder what is a good pair of safety glasses that you recomend but not too insane of a price because I loose alot of mine or I set them down and they get scratched up
@@bradleypumba
Home Depot has Klein Safety Glasses ANSI z87.1 rated for $8.50 they will do just fine. (And they look cool)
It's refreshing to see someone who's actually fabricating their own flatbed which is actually going to see practical use.
Too many guys with heavy duty trucks that never tow/haul anything except for groceries.
Keep up the work good sir, your a very useful person among your community
Thanks for watching!
Why do you care what other people do with their trucks?
So true
This guy definitely knows what he’s doing too. I like that the design isn’t like every other flatbed you see driving down the road
Rebuilding an 89 Hilux with my Dad and I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to build, film, edit, and post this video! Incredible fab work. Thanks, man!
im a welder myself, and this is killer man. well done
Agreed
💯I'm going to be doing this on my 85 pickup
One of the best looking flatbeds I’ve seen! Great job dude! Any idea what the finished weight was?
This is the first flatbed I have seen that I absolutely love on a single rear wheel
Erik Wegscheid thanks!!
Beautiful work. That's much nicer than anything you could've purchased retail.
118 dislikes???? This toyota is gonna be legendary when finished. Keep up the good work bro. Been rebuilding an 1984 toyota sr5 for almost 8 months. Still long ways to go!
👍👍
Extended cab? Bout ready to paint my 88. Give me the solid front axel☺️☺️🤣
Oh how we’ve been DECEIVED
YaH The Heavenly FATHER was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote in Exodus 3, when Moses asked YaH His Name
HERE IT IS, IN HIS OWN HANDWRITING
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The Nail"
If you want something badass you have to build it yourself💪 keep up the phenomenal work bud🤘
Dude that is dope, good to see someone taken pride well done!
Something that I am so guilty of is over engineering the design of truck beds. Think about it, a tub is just thin sheet metal. Yes, it's shaped and curved to make it strong but you don't need 1/4 plate for a bed. (yup, that was me) Yes, need durable good size metal but just don't need near the beef that most of us guys put into a bed. I make beds now with 14 gauge and even that is pretty stout stuff. I do thing totally different now but man I tell you it's been a lot of beds to learn what it actually takes. I admire the workmanship you have put into this bed. Not just a flatbed. Welds are clean and ground flat. Holes are deburred and the like.
Something that I very well may be wrong in doing. I prime everything with Rust-oleum rusty metal primer. I've painted trailers and other stuff I've built with just that and I've been extremely satisfied with the results. Maybe I'm just no good at painting and it makes up for it.
Never paint without sleeves and head protection! Awesome build!
Bro
Seeing this time lapse video of you building the flatbed REALLY gives us a look at how much time effort & thought you put into this build
I also like that you improvised and made things work 👍👍
That’s what I think makes the bed so great
A real one of a kind build you never cut corners to try and hurry or [thats good enough] stuff ya know ??
Looks GREAT
Really sets your truck apart from anything else out there!!👍👍
Ya wanna build me a rear bumper for my Jeep??🤣😂
Great video
Congrats
crazy how you can fit all this hard work into a 10 min video
Been looking for design ideas for my own build, this is the first one I've seen that I want to steal the design for.
Excellent build Austin. I like the way you flared out the sides. I built several of these years ago but the way the hot rolled steel rusted here in Ohio it didn't take long for the entire bed to need a new coat of paint. Your truck probably has better off road traction with the heavier new bed over the rear wheels. Thanks for sharing.
Hey man, great work. Your attention to detail makes me want to suggest something to keep this looking nice even when its getting rocks and debris pelted at it from the trail. I suggest putting wheel wells / fenders to protect all your hard work! Take some inspiration from trophy trucks of today or older work trucks ...plus I think in the state of WA it's mandatory to have fenders that stick out as far as the rubber of your tire does. Anyways it's just a suggestion from someone who think form should follow function. You did an amazing build and thank you for taking the time to share it.
If I could fabricate a bed up like this for my Silverado, I’d probably put a flat bed on. The thought of a regular looking flat bed on a half ton makes me cringe lol. I definitely like the style you came up with.
Hey great build brother. Just a thought . Paint the Toyota insignia on the back of those mud flaps red so it could provide some contrast.
Was awesome ,cool and functional truck😎 i would choose that as my daily driver any day
Wonder what kind of mileage he gets with that tdi. Big tires like that probably dropped it down to 35mpg.
Such a great job ,design and build looks awesome.
I love this bed. I would add a guard to protect my back glass when I haul wood but it's a great bed. Such a clean look
Finally a flatbed that has adequate space for up travel
Sweet . Dude that's the best looking flat bed Ive seen for a yota
Agr sei a inspiração do Leandro Torneiro pra fazer a picape da Boxer 😁
E o que notei tambem
Pensei a mesma coisa kkkkk, e essa ficou linda de mais
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.... quando vi pensei nisso aí fui ver os comentários.... kkkkkk.... desse jeito...kkkkkkkkk
I build truck beds all day, everyday. That is a nice one off bed. Suggestion cover the rear window area with some sort of expanded metal
Impressive work. I'm even more impressed with how clean you keep your shop!
It's amazing how a few extra bends and angles make the end result look so much better.
Show de bola, projeto muito legal, parabéns 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Looks awesome. You were so informative throughout. Would love to see a short introduction to welding from you.
Wow, amazing flat bed build from scratch!!! I'm thinking of buying an '85 with a custom flatbed/camper and just try and source a bed for it and call it a day. Now I want to keep the flat bed, farm out some fab work, & build it the way I want to. Your skills has inspired me to learn how to weld. Thanks for posting!!!
Awesome! Glad I can help!!
Love that I found this channel! Building my own bed On my 89 hilux! Thanks from Norway 🇳🇴
Partially thanks to you I just bought an 89 4runner. Not nearly the same skills, but this is going to be fun!
The time and dedication to this project is shown in the final product. Please do another build! You have the skill and ability to turn yourself into a good youtuber. Love the build!
What a nice build, you took time to match the frame so no big ugly holes like other build. One other touch you can add is a plate the the front left and right side that cover the back of the truck cabs. Maybe bolt on if it is needed to be remove from the truck. You can see the back of the truck cab at 9:19 and 9:45. Some profiled place would really make it look made for that model.
Watching this video makes me want to become a better fabricator. Outstanding job! You're tuned in on every step and it shows.
It was a cool build to watch through
Awesome, my 88 has a solid bed somehow so I’m keeping it, bout ready to lay some sealer and paint!
I see way to many beds that give “flatbed” a bad name for themselves lll
That is one of the nicest decks I've seen yet. Nice work dude.
That's an amazing truck! I'd love to put a bed like that on my 88.
You have got some mad skills brother, and that the most gorgeous flatbed I have seen so far. More power to you
Cheers 🍻 .
Thank you so much 😀
Going to do this to my 3rd gen in 15 years
I can't believe this was two years ago. You have come a long ways. Both in production and content! Keep up the great work.
Excellent sheet metal work the precision cuts are 100ds
Thanks for showing your expertise, true concept!
I want that bed for my F350!!!
Looks cool as a tonka toy; but as soon as you want to load something on your flatbed with a forklift, you'll see just how useless it actually is to do it this way. Cool looking dune buggy I guess. Great quality either way.
By far the coolest design I’ve seen yet!!!! Only thing I’d add is side boxes
That’s best looking fabricated bed I’ve ever seen awesome job! The Toyota painted look great. Have you thought about fabricating some tool boxes under the bed in front of the wheels?
This has definitely been fun and helpful to watch.!! (SKILLS) for sure.!!!!
"Some other people would really only look at the welding..." 🗨😉✨
This is by far the sweetest flatbed builds I've ever seen. I absolutely love the way your truck looks. Very well done and 2 thumbs way up! I would be so proud to drive this truck. Sweet!!
Parabéns pelo trabalho. Muito bom.
I would of loved to have that bed on my truck
Nem precisa de motor!!
É só pra pousar pra foto😒,
Cadê as atolada na lama🤷♂️
That really looks sweet.
Came out great!!! Awesome work/craftsmanship!!
Изумительная работа!!!!! 👍👍👍
You need to win that hater trophy.
I can't imagine how you have recieved so many thumbs down. Its the type of video that should have no reason for a thumbs down
The Toyota is awesome! The music is awful
@@jasonthomas8770 who cares....This dude took the tyme ta drop something of interest. Mute that shit. If the title was
"Dropping hits on how too's"
Cool, but it was a bed conversion video.
Jimmy Hunt lots of people... the rest of the video was great, but the music was awful. Constructive criticism. Ever heard of it?
@@jasonthomas8770 You having a different taste in music and thumbing down a video because music is "awful"!!!
You think that is constructive when it had absolutely nothing to do with the title.
Here is an example of constructive criticism.
"Jason, your acting like a bitch"
Your fuckin wierd dude. The video was about a bed build and swap....
Wierd bro...
Just Bad ASS BRO!👍👊🔥🔥🔥🔥
Exceptional craftsmanship. Except the taillights to me personally. I hate oval LEDs, it makes the whole thing look like a wal mart special.
Bro that tipe of work in your truck 😳bro I'm amazed
Sir, really good craftsmanship there. How much would you charge to build one for me? I have the same pickup and I'm in New Mexico.
Have you got a response? I would be interested as well.
@@xdedox532 same I'm looking to buy one too
I'm from new Mexico but I got Chevys all day and one Ford I ended up building one by my self 😅😂 it's on put it that way
@@xdedox532 no response
Quem veio pelo leandro torneiro deixa um like hahahha
Euu
Eu vim. Vim conhecer esse modelo flat red, na boa que coisa feia na minha opinião estraga o design da caminhonete. Tomara que o Leandro torneiro faça a sua mágica e torne em algo legal.
@@EmerSilva-Carioca flat bed* = caçamba reta
Glad to see these fixed up
Nice craftsmanship
You did a great job on this truck, I would love to have one. Was the SAS necessary for the TDI conversation, or just off-road?
Gary Callahan no not necessary to do the swap
@@austinniemela a
This is the first time I've liked a YT video in YEARS... Bruh just take the whole cab off and build it from scratch to match now...
Amazing. The styling alone.
Great video Austin thanks!
I really like the shape along the sides and back bumper part
Ben B thank you!!
@@austinniemela hey man fellow welder here around how much did you spent on the tubing and lights, also what's the heaviest weight you've thrown on the side sections out of curiosity
@@austinniemela
Why didn’t you use aluminum instead of steel? Since your Taco has a low payload capacity in the first place.
Great job. would’ve been nice if this was like a dump body,that would be cool. God bless
@Tanner Alex IDGAF
@Tanner Alex Stip
How can anybody give a thumbs down. They definitely don’t know how to appreciate the amount of skill it takes to fab. You my friend are amazing with the detail you put into all of your projects. Especially the engine work, I have Jetta ALH I’ve heavily modded you did an incredible job on yours.
Nice recap. Your truck looks do SICK!
lindo trabalho o caminhão ta incrível parabens
I’ve seen a lot of flatbed built lately. This is by far the coolest!
Great project !!
Thanks for sharing.
Super cool truck man. Love it! You got skills should make custom bed as a business, you’ll be killing it out here
Te admiro por tan bello arte,sos grande DIOS te de cada dia mas inspiracion para que sigas haciendo cosas bellas,desde honduras un abrazo!!!
So much skill man keep up the crazy good work turned out sick!!
Finally you made me a good looking flatbed.
Nice job Austin. Good looking welds.
I did the same thing with a 63 Ford F100. Worked great, had springs re-done by a blacksmith, 36" tires and put a 4 speed from a junk yard I got for $75.00 w/ bell housing, two pc. drive shaft w/ pillow bearing. Great truck, had it for years...drop axle front end was no good though, I got really good at doing king pins.
Cool build!
Thanks!
You are one hell of a fabricator
Truck is awesome!! Love your videos! I learn lots!!
That last shot is 💯🔥🔥🔥 3 brother Toyota's 👀🔥👊🏼 Keep the videos dropping 👍🏻
Awesome build!
Made it look easy!!!
Great job
Best custom bed i have ever seen….AMAZING !!!!
super nice bed my only change would be more tie downs one in each corner is never enough
Great craftsmanship
Great build! Looks sweet.
Slick bed man that looks like such a fun thing to weld together!!!!🤘🏻
Man. Super, SUPER clean, flatbed build. Very nice. I have an ‘86 pickup I want to do this for. I may very well use yours as a template maybe. Nice work!
Ok, this truck is the one that I see from tiktok all the time, and now I see this, and it's awesome. Also, your last name is Niemela, and Cameron Niemela makes dirtbike vids, and his brother makes car vids, and he said there was 3 brothers, so I always wondered where the 3rd one was, and you sound like Cameron, so Im gonna go out and say you're probably the third brother. And if you're not then everything i just typed probably sounds insane 😂. Sick truck man.
Yes them are my brothers!! Thanks man!! 👍
@@austinniemela 😂 alright good I woulda felt like I was going crazy if you weren't the third brother😂 you guys all have talent when it comes to creating awesome stuff, great job
Brody Crabtree haha thanks man!!
Clean build bro!
You have some serious skills thank you for sharing. I feel inspired.
Wow, thank you
Beautiful build.
Really great build! Not my cup of tea, but extremely good job!
time for an all aluminum framed mini camper to slid on top. call it the lone wolf series.
Nice design and layout
This is the best and coolest flatbed I have ever seen
