Much respect for a man that takes the time to put the stock back, including the stickers, after he has sorted through a stack of lumber to get what he needs. And, another vote for a panel, either expanded metal, or CNC cut to protect the the trucks back window.
Don't the really messed up pieces just get tossed? Nice lumber like that is a different animal than the usual dimensional big box store stuff, of course. And leaving a complete mess is never okay regardless...
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans th-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
I have a fond memory of a stake truck. Dozens of years ago, my favorite uncle insisted on driving the worldly goods of me and my newly-married wife to our first home, at the university we were attending. We fit a queen bed and a small piano amongst our childhood dressers and whatnot as we left to start our new life. He passed away a few years later, at far too young an age. Thanks again, Uncle Jack!
The build is great as always, but I gotta say your continued evolution and improvement as a filmmaker is what I'm most impressed by. I love how it's still your style of video while also using new techniques to get these amazing shots and keep that kinetic energy high. Great F'n video man!
Could use the back gate portion as a ramp as well. A half dozen flush tie down anchors and that thing is ready for even more work. Always enjoy the simplicity and ingenuity of the builds. Top notch.
Badass truck and bedsides. And as I worked in the lumber at a big box store for 3 yrs. rhymes with chrome heap’O I thank you for re stacking what you went through Jimmy!!!!
Got my poster and knife yesterday. It’s awesome, it really does come super sharp. I made a sheath for it, don’t know how I’ll do the handle yet, so wrapped it for now in Para cord
Such a great improvement over tarping and/or tie downs: Load & go & unload without overheads or fears of tarp etc becoming a sail & taking bits of load with it. Thanks for sharing!
You can make a small attachment at the end of the truck where you can slide in that tail gate once you remove it. That way you can have a ramp for steping on the truck bed.
Well done ! My brother . Simple but very versatile . It will come in very handy around the farm . I can see bales of hay being carried to the stable on board it . Stay well Taylor , Willie and you my brother
A very minor addition that can improve the life of those fences: cut a piece of wood that can be hammered into of the metal posts, so it prevents water from freely rushing into them. It'd greatly prevent rust on the posts and the bolts.
Nice stake sides! Plus one vote for a window screen, too- troll your metal supply yard for an expanded metal offcut. Your glass coverage will thank you. 😂 I put toolboxes from Craigslist on the sides of my flatbed, and built an expanded metal tailgate that splits in the middle and folds in flat against the sides if I want to hang something over the back. Your tailgate looks more solid, but on the heavy side. 😁
I like it. But if you wrecked with that wood in the back chances are that big bit with the huge splinter would probably go straight through the rear window. Which is another way of saying I agree with the other guys who suggested a mesh. Not to protect the window, but to protect you !
I believe this modification was first displayed in the early 1960s by a pair of gentlemen from the Ozark mountains of Missouri, Mr. Jed Clampett and Mr. Jethro Bodine.
I like the drop down sides. Each side is like a tailgate. VW had them on their 60's truck. Japan & Australia still use them on their trucks (Ute in Australia). America is broken!
Although you are much younger than I am, I did hear a grunt when you slid the tailgate back on. Lifting that tailgate off and on, I would experience some serious angina. Consider a hinged tailgate. Maybe, a double door tailgate. Just a thought from my heart and muscles to your heart and muscles.
Hey Jimmy you have to try steel-it in a spray can if you haven't already, we use it on all of our steel frame machines it's great we get it from mcmaster
Maestro Jimmy Diresta mi mas grande admiracion a su trabajo, usted es una inspiracion para muchos, le deseo un feliz cumpleaños el dia de mañana y le mando mil bendicione para este nuevo año de vida que inicia, este video es mi regalo pues hoy es mi cumpleaños, un favor si es posible le coloque la opcion de subtitulos gracias
It should have been a swing gate. putting that thing on and off all the time will be annoying and it's not exactly light. However, that's an easy fix. You could also do both too. Good job!
respect! That is old school awesome! I remember growing up in the 70's and 80's where guys used to do that to their trucks, it put a smile on my face the entire time I was watching this video. Reminding me of days long gone, thanks you for posting and the awesome work you do.
looks cool for sure mate, drop sides are so much more practical, especially the rear, any load that comes slightly past the rear and you cant get the door on, you seemed to struggle even putting it on without anything near it ! needs a head board too !! hey if your posting then we can ridicule ! nice video though
excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado , no es mal sistema , pero lo ideal serian unas bisagras de enganche lateral , que me hacen falta estás valderas super chulas , las pongo , que no las voy a usar las quito , gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón (Galicia) 🤓 🛠️ 🔝
Great mod! It's always good when we can make what have more versatile. Got to say though, I'm scared for your back window. It would be my luck that I'd be throwing something up in there and it would go right through the back window.🤣🤣
What was the thought process behind not having the uprights being attached, why you haven’t brought the fencing down to the bed (save smaller/thinner items escaping) and this one kicked my OCD but why would you put the nuts on the outside?
Actually, would a V2 benefit from a sort of wider opening at the top, and a more tapered bottom to the pin itself, to help guide the back in without an issue?

I worked various retail jobs in my younger days, and inconsiderate shoppers was my main pet peeve. I always kept my mouth shut though, of course.

👊🏼🙏🏼
You always make developing a complicated widget look effortless. The gate mechanism is fantastic.
The sliding mechanism for the back cover was freaking nice! I love watching you work! Makes me want to go make stuff.... when I have space...
Could use the back gate portion as a ramp as well. A half dozen flush tie down anchors and that thing is ready for even more work. Always enjoy the simplicity and ingenuity of the builds. Top notch.
I loved the quick cut at 8:16 were you turn on the welder. It's like pop-lock editing, so good!
Having seen this a prior video, I had to literally LOL when it came on. Love your editing Jimmy!
Need a couple of benches back there to haul the crew around the farm.
Badass truck and bedsides. And as I worked in the lumber at a big box store for 3 yrs. rhymes with chrome heap’O I thank you for re stacking what you went through Jimmy!!!!
Great truck mod! My son (7) loves Making fun. The taco throwing Dino was his favorite
😊😊😊😊
Got my poster and knife yesterday. It’s awesome, it really does come super sharp. I made a sheath for it, don’t know how I’ll do the handle yet, so wrapped it for now in Para cord
Thank you 🙏🏼
Your editing gets better and better.
This was a fun build.
Also loved watching the clouds in time lapse!
Thank you!
Did you think about sealing with a cap the top part of the vertical elements? It could prevent a lot of rust inside from the rain.
I thought the same.
@jimmydiresta maybe some cool Total Boat Epoxy caps with DIRESTA embossed in them
And bees 🐝
@@ericpedersen2760 Thats a great idea.
@@Pkripper-67 ah yes, nothing like a structural element filled with a surprise colony of bees.
Just got the skeleton knife and poster. Love it. Can’t wait to find time to mess with it, and to frame and hang the poster. Love you so much, man.
✊🏻👊🏼👊🏼🙏🏼
It needs some stainless hard wear. Acorn nuts would be nice too! Nice execution of the build like usual Jimmy!
Such a great improvement over tarping and/or tie downs: Load & go & unload without overheads or fears of tarp etc becoming a sail & taking bits of load with it. Thanks for sharing!
Jimmy for the sake of your back make that back gate one side a hinge. Love your projects.
I wake up, there is a new Diresta video... some days definitely are better than others.
please, have my thumb up, my good sir.
You can make a small attachment at the end of the truck where you can slide in that tail gate once you remove it. That way you can have a ramp for steping on the truck bed.
The welder startup sequence is BACK!!! Awesome. :D
Hahahah
Still finds a way to put the diresta left turn in there. Nice job on the tail gate. Very cool.
That looks awesome. Never seen railing for a truck bed like that.
If I were only half as good as Jimmy Diresta, I would be a genius.
Outstanding!
Regards Gareth Wiltshire UK. Gratitude. Quality. Respect. Thank you.
Tops for the stakes and some wood protection to prevent moisure would be fine also! Newertheless i enjoyed watching this!
Loved the old man grunt putting the gate back up.
Well done ! My brother . Simple but very versatile . It will come in very handy around the farm . I can see bales of hay being carried to the stable on board it . Stay well Taylor , Willie and you my brother
A great upgrade! I have a story about a 100 pound garbage disposal rolling off my truck....
Nice build. Now you need something to protect your back window.
and biceps warm up session everytime he wants to remove the tailgate 😁
He never disappoints. Thinks outside the box. Well done.
A stake truck is very versatile. If I had a truck that would be it. Nice build.
I love the way that truck sounds!
good job man! you should put thick and heavy metal mesh to protect the rear window
Awww yes! A clasic Diresta project! Good times
A very minor addition that can improve the life of those fences: cut a piece of wood that can be hammered into of the metal posts, so it prevents water from freely rushing into them. It'd greatly prevent rust on the posts and the bolts.
Why not just weld a cap on them?
Wood absorbs moisture so that would in turn cause rust even more.
@@Stuntman2304 Sure, that would be even better.
Painted wood works too though. Anything's better than open ends.
These tube will out last it’s usefulness as is. I am confident of this.
@@jimmydiresta just send them a link to your TOH chair video and say “like this?”
@@jimmydiresta well that’s not really a surprise, Mr. “I reinvent the wheel and improve it” every time I turn around 😆
Nothing cooler than a flatbed work truck with wood sides!
Love it, utilitarian and creative. Love how truck beds have modified for any need since their advent.
This is awesome Jimmy!!! Love it! Happy Birthday bud!!! -Brian
🙏🏼❤️
the closure with the milled tube is very cool🤗👍👍
Nice stake sides! Plus one vote for a window screen, too- troll your metal supply yard for an expanded metal offcut. Your glass coverage will thank you. 😂

Nice upgrade Jimmy! Personally, I'm don't understand the wood-slat beds, but somehow you make it work, and work well!

Truck looks great and the design of the stake bed and tailgate is top notch
My man Jimmy D. at it again. Thanks for all you do. Much love from Michigan.
I could watch this stuff all day long … oh wait. I already do! Thanks, Jimmy!
Nicely done Jimmy, nicely done.
much respect for all that jimmy does- but that tailgate is pants - looks great though - but one bump and it's history
Although you are much younger than I am, I did hear a grunt when you slid the tailgate back on. Lifting that tailgate off and on, I would experience some serious angina. Consider a hinged tailgate. Maybe, a double door tailgate. Just a thought from my heart and muscles to your heart and muscles.
Great build! Also super cool you can just levitate higher when you need to reach a spot. (6:53)
Awesome job Jimmy. That truck bed is a real winner too, super useful!!
Looks good, perfectly matches that truck like it was always there.
Your painting skills are improved! 🤣
looks exactly like how my grandpa made everything ! silver paint, boxed tube and carriage bolts !
Cool project! I enjoyed the different editing you put into this episode. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Jimmy you have to try steel-it in a spray can if you haven't already, we use it on all of our steel frame machines it's great we get it from mcmaster
$34/can on Amazon. Wow
Adds a nice look to the truck, I did something similar with my '90 sportside.

Brilliant, Jimmy! Fantastic work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
OUTSTANDING side kit for your stake body,thanks for the video🤗😎🤗😎
Please cut a radius on the top two boards for the western flyer look. Great project.
It should have been a swing gate. putting that thing on and off all the time will be annoying and it's not exactly light. However, that's an easy fix. You could also do both too. Good job!
Great video Jimmy! Love the flat bed truck and now with the side racks and gate, its awesome! Great build!
SOLID Stout build! 🔥
Good stuff Jimmy, had to pick up the knife deal as well, will frame and put along side my Will Stelter print you made! Also enjoying the Netflix show.
good job mister Jimmy Diresta
Oh great! Now I have to make bedrails for the Hot Wheels I made you? Hahaha 😆
Looks great Jimmy. Form & function.
Молодец, приятно на дяденьку смотреть.
...and then it just paid for itself! Great work.
As per usual...Slick Job Jimmy!

I’m surprised you didn’t put the back piece on a hinge and removable! But as always, beautiful and inspiring work.
Such a good looking farm truck Jimmy. Coming together nice 👍
That truck is going to see some work I bet - looks great!
great job. Presumably you can lift the side panels off too as they seem to be just resting in those slots?
Yep comes out too
Thanks Jimmy, old school stake bed, love it! 👍👍👍
Thank you Jimmy, a set of solid sides ... 👏👏👏 they should age nicely ..

That’s so badass dude. But what I’m more impressed with is the film work and editing skills, looks like I filmed it. Lol.
They tailgate mechanism is genius!
Great mod! It's always good when we can make what have more versatile. Got to say though, I'm scared for your back window. It would be my luck that I'd be throwing something up in there and it would go right through the back window.🤣🤣
My thoughts exactly that one chunk of wood 🪵 looked like it got mighty close, I actually flinched 🤪
@@allenwilson9656 There are at least 3 in this boat, now.
You continue to inspire me good sir. Thank you.
You got a mill in the big shop now! 🤘nice.
Baby voice: "You didn't use primer on the bare metallllllll! Now its gonna ruuuuuusssst!! WaaaaaaaHHHHHh!!!!"
Love the finished look of the truck.
nice idea for the rear wall
would you consider adding some grill / mesh to protect the window?
Simple is usually best! Jimmy does it again 👍
Glad to see you're already using the C-clamps again Haha
Hahaha
What was the thought process behind not having the uprights being attached, why you haven’t brought the fencing down to the bed (save smaller/thinner items escaping) and this one kicked my OCD but why would you put the nuts on the outside?
Great film and build. Cool design on gate. Mahalo for sharing! 🙂🐒
Love the styling of this truck Jimmy!
The pain grunt and "fuck" at the end lmao
Amazing job as always Mr. Diresta
i love watching your videos jimmy
My friend designed a great car too good health and success
I didn't see it in the video but what did you do to make a stop so the tailgate only goes down so far in the slots?
Actually, would a V2 benefit from a sort of wider opening at the top, and a more tapered bottom to the pin itself, to help guide the back in without an issue?
Amazing work. Pretty sure it’s heavy, so a amazing hinge, I know you don’t want to lift that anymore haha
Do you reduce your primer? I know its hard to convey on video but it looks thinner than when I apply it.. Please advise...
