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?”
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
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!
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
Pretty much all aftermarket modded Toyota trucks are simply decorated toys. We like them because they can hardcore offroad or work, but hardly any of them do. In the USA, home of the real heavy duty pickup truck, full sized trucks do almost all of the pickup truck work. You *rarely* if ever see Toyotas used as work vehicles outside of Pac Northwesters who mod their trucks on the side (taking the place of a Domestic in the South perhaps for the same reasons but different environment), or 'Boutique' style Tradesmen whose rich customers are like you and are afraid of 3/4 ton 2wd Ram pickups for some reason. I know their drivers are in 2024 still celebrating like they aren't obvious lazy Manbabies playing hardworkin' Redneck. But still, you're just ignorantly prejudiced. I, personally, am a Toyota fan because they can work for years even in US salt if you take care of them, Latin Americans and Asians are lazy with their Toyotas. How easy it is to keep a vehicle for decades in the Jungle or Desert. lol. All Indonesian farmers and Latin backwoods explorers will pretty much let their Toyotas melt away if they drove in snowy salty conditions. A crappy used 3/4 Dodge may be a broken piece of shit, but it will exist in 20 years if you keep doiong basic repairs. The frame will exist and it will still carry 3 Toyota balanced on the bed no problem really. You might have to strap them in so they don't slide off the back and make sure the wind doesn't tip if over. A 1-ton Chevy, for God's sake, could carry 3 overloaded Toyotas from Jakarta in the bed, and haul 6 full loaded Toyotas on the trailer and if they ones in teh bed were strapped down, it could comfortably cruise down the highway at 85 mph with air conditioning and it will be 20 years old and rusty. Just new shocks and some engine work like new ignition coils or sensors, or perhaps a new Turbo at 100k and a transmission rebuild. Toyota Tundras cannot do that. They're great, but I prefer a Tacoma myself, or if I had my druthers, my 3 minitrucks that I owned. 1 of them was a solid-axle 22rE pickup, pretty rare, first year of the 22re in USA. I know as a Toyota fan, I enjoy massive esteem worldwide because it's such an exclusive and knowledgeable club. lol just joshing, this build IS awesome, really well done.
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!
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"
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.
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
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.
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.
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
@@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.

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...
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!!!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
@@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
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!
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?
@@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
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.
I wanted to do this to my Tacoma and my future F-250. But I recently learned in California if you convert your truck bed to a flat bed. You have to stop at every scale and get inspected along the freeway like a big rig. So inconvenient because that line is always long and there are so many in my area. Your flat bed is sick dude, good job.
Need one for my s10 I did fab for a living for years built trash dumpsters just did a lot of that stuff but In 2018 had an accident that left me with a right leg that is useless great work I'm going to save up some money and restore a s10 I've had for a long time it's my daily driver I really like your work
What an awesome idea, I’m in the process of finishing a 1947 Dodge power wagon and the last step is making a flatbed Love your design. Definitely going to use it. Great job.
Hey just a idea for future builds adding info on how you do stuff like your paint mix paint brand and little fabrication tips along the way would be a awesome idea you know what your doing but alot of people watching don't and along with watching a entertaining build we could learn a few tips and tricks to having stuff turn out nice 😂 love the videos btw watched the whole Toyota build
Yea the welding is good but I’m more impressed about the fitting, as in how well it was put together, everything being square and symmetric. Looks like something that’s been manufactured and produced by a company. Very impressive
Take from an old timer, save your knees and weld yourself together a welding bench. You only get 2 real patella, after that it's plastic. P.s. Awesome work, you've definitely got some skills. 👍
Good job not grinding those welds! Grinding them into a perfectly sculpted masterpiece would have pleased the masses, but leaving them impresses your craftsmen peers and metal work conosuires. Just like a rockstar's favorite fans are other rockstars. That bed is a thing of beauty!
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!

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.

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

Wonder what kind of mileage he gets with that tdi. Big tires like that probably dropped it down to 35mpg.

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.

Nice job Austin. Good looking welds.
You have some serious skills thank you for sharing. I feel inspired.
Wow, thank you
Finally you made me a good looking flatbed.
Love that saw save you a lot of time cutting with oxy acetylene or plasma .a plus fabrication work .
Nice work man, makes me miss my gen1 taco 😅
Truck is awesome!! Love your videos! I learn lots!!
That last shot is 💯🔥🔥🔥 3 brother Toyota's 👀🔥👊🏼 Keep the videos dropping 👍🏻
Looks great! Mod the cab and truly make that truck unique
This is the best and coolest flatbed I have ever seen
time for an all aluminum framed mini camper to slid on top. call it the lone wolf series.
One of the best build I've seen so far ❤️ Keep it up mate.
Thanks a ton!
Nice recap. Your truck looks do SICK!
This is my favorite Tacoma flatbed design. I definitely plan on building one for mine in the near future.
super nice bed my only change would be more tie downs one in each corner is never enough
I absolutely love the way you made that flat bed young man! If you lived near me I'd definitely pay you good money to customize my truck!!
It does look great!!! I always say I'm going to do more fab for my truck but you actually did it...
