Pressure treated lumber. 4x6 for framing and floor beams. 5/4x6 for decking. Bolted to frame using existing holes in frame, but did drill 2 new holes. No concerns for corrosion of truck frame, was well painted from ford. It was a temporary bed, so no concerns for warping, but the bed was very rigid and stayed flat while it was on the truck. Weight was not an issue for the f450. To each his own if you liked the music or not. Be blessed!
This is really great! Quick question, How think are your floor boards? I may be doing the same thing soon... Anything you would do differently 3 years later?
put a small space between each board to allow for expansion and contraction. Then screw the boards down every couple feet on the supports, he supported the ends of the board with a face board, screw boards down every couple feet and they wont warp. the small movement from heat and cold will hardly be noticeable. its when boards are not properly screwed down or supported they will warp because nothing is stopping it from moving.
this is a time lapse video, why would he upload the video with no sound, music just makes it better. no matter what song he chose, always someone who isnt going to like it, so who gives a fuck and just upload the music you enjoy.

Awesome choice in music
great video, also thank you for choosing an awesome song, i paused pandora to watch and had to double check to make sure it wasnt still playing haha.
Looks like u guys did a good job. Wish camera was zoomed in closer to see the details...
Good truck and good job. From Russia with Love.
love you too, from Canada
Great video, nice work! Thanks for sharing.
Was it an 11ft truck frame?
good job I want to build this on my F350. can we get material list?

Floor Boards are 3/4" thick.
How much weight do you think this can hold?
How did you attach first two pieces to the frame rails, nuts and bolts or big u bolts?
Great build! What is the overall length of the bed? Thanks
What did you use over the frame rails, 3 x 4’s and I guess the cross members are 4 x 4’s
what did you use to mount to the frame?
I think I used 3/4" bolts into existing holes in the frame. 2 new holes had to be drilled at the rear end.
box delete or cab and chassis?
Cab and chassis purchase.
How do you keep the wood from causing the frame to rust because it retains moisture?
Not worried about frame rusting. The steel has a hefty coating. Surface moisture should dry no problem.
If you bought a Chevy kiss the frame goodbye but you got a ford and they know how to coat them well.. To bad the diesels nowadays are garbage.
If ford were only that good with making beds that didn't rot (pre aluminum) I wouldn't be here looking at wood bed videos.
What kind of wood did you use? What was your cost of materials?
fireguy744 ditto, like the stain cor
Not stained. Used pressure treated lumber. Maybe $700 or so.
What did you do to stop warping
put a small space between each board to allow for expansion and contraction. Then screw the boards down every couple feet on the supports, he supported the ends of the board with a face board, screw boards down every couple feet and they wont warp. the small movement from heat and cold will hardly be noticeable. its when boards are not properly screwed down or supported they will warp because nothing is stopping it from moving.
Awesome
👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
looks like that might actually be heavier than a bought steel flatbed
wow a George jones song.
Thanks for all the comments.
I would like to see exactly how you attached the wood to the frame rails.
work goes much faster with stodoys plans.
Weird
Minus music it might be a good vlog, however, not much info except this tune.
Would have liked some loser views instead of drone or out the second floor window.
why did you think people wanted to listen to your music , when all they did was want to watch your timber bed vdeo .
