I watched this video 3 years ago and decided I wanted one, I just got back to Va with my new Hughes bed. Julie, Todd and the whole team were fantastic to work with thank you for sharing your bed.
Wonderful!
Julie gave me a quote recently.. now I just need to find the dually to mount it on!.. thanks Brian!
That’s awesome. Make them take you to the dinner
Nice set up! I really like that bed, not sure if you have done this before, but I highly recommend welding a vice to a hitch to slide in and out of your hitch receiver. You don’t use it everyday but it is invaluable when you need it!
Yes i have done that on mine :)
What did it cost? I'm comparing to the CM/PJ beds
Very nice! I have 07 Duramax with edge tuner and large exhaust!!! Hauls butt and gets good mpg.....
I bought a set of tool organizers for my toolbox. Basically a plastic divider with a sawtooth pattern. Placed in the drawer in a V pattern, it holds the wrenches on their side from smallest to largest. Kept them organized, and easy to ensure no tools were misplaced. My set holds 1/4 to 1 1/4 inch wrenches. Surprising, it takes less space than just throwing them in a drawer.
Bounced over many fields with that setup. Also works well for screwdrivers.
I like the roll pouches for the wrenches because we can grab the whole set and bring it to the job and it is super easy to notice missing wrenches after the job is done.
Very nice truck and great looking truck box!
Love the VoltAir compressor. I have one and wish they still made them.
Didn’t know they stopped. I bought this one in 2018
only 2 years late on my comment but for your wrench organization, a tip I picked up, use hydraulic hose protector (the spring wrap type) to hold all your wrenches in order, it gets them all really tight together and has worked great for me in my truck
Bomb ass truck/bed setup!! Very nicely put together.
Enjoy your videos, was up in the Columbus area yesterday. Love the farm land on the drive between cincy and Columbus.
Were you listening to WKRP? Lol
That is one clean and very nice looking truck I always would just use a regular mounted tool box in my truck and I always had tools and stuff bouncing all around in rough fields maybe I'll have to look into something like that
Thanks for the video. I was already talking to hughes about a bed when I saw yours and just wanted to make sure that I didnt miss a manufacturer.
Hughes is awesome one thing I forgot to mention was I had auto door locks put on. Highly recommend them
@@BriansFarmingVideos oh yes, auto locks and bedliner are mandatory
Brian's Farming Videos could you do a quick video of the auto door locks and how they work some rainy day when you have time buddy.
My mom grew up in the mt Vernon area and probly knows if this family. My grandfather had a large farm that he was raised on then he took it over from his father and raised his family there which included my mother but none of his children (only one son and five daughters wanted to take it over when he passed and the grandchildren were still too young to take it so it was sold back to the Amish families that farmed next door. I would have done anything to be able to keep that farm going.
Great video and thank you for sharing. I will check out this company.
Nice bed, and nicely stocked! Only thing I would add would be an integrated (hidden) fuel tank and transfer pump.
Yea that would be nice to have for sure
greyghostkoga probably in the center of the bed in the front between the boxes is where I’d put it
That's a very very very nice truck bed with all of those compartments for tools and miscellaneous supplies, and etc.
Nice setup!
I bought a ram chassis cab with a flatbed for my service Truck & Cattle work. Compared to my Ram 3500 the chassis cab is a huge step up in weight and towing ability. My 3500 Wait Almost 7500 lb the chassis cab is 10300 pounds. I've never had a truck pull wagons and control them like this one!
Wow, love your truck !! Very well equipped and handy !!
Now that was cool!!! slick setup Brian.....Makes me wanna do another video of our Tire Service Truck!!!
That truck is awesome. Pretty important machine for the farm I bet. I was always wondering about those seats.
Can't wait for the equipment tour
That power inverter near the back of the driver's side back door looks like a worthwhile product, even if you don't have a truck.
Battery operated leaf blowers are awesome use it for tons of stuff
Beautiful truck and beautiful bed. Maybe I'll have one someday but a guy can dream right
That is a great set up, everything In the field if you need it.
Man you guys are less than 30 miles from where I go to school. I appreciate the fact that you like your red tools, and that is a beautiful truck and a great setup for a service bed. Looks like it comes in handy often.
Badass setup. Would you recommend that air compressor for say running a diaphragm pump to transfer coolant and oil and to run air tools like die grinders etc?
You should do a video on all the equipment you guys have. Nice looking truck and setup .
@ 3:20 What I did in the service truck that I used to run I took a piece of wood and just made a divide for front and back. I put metric up front standard in the back. all of our wrenches are 19mm-32MM and 1"-2 1/2 It just keeps it so I only have to dig on one side or the other unless someone else throws them in randomly. our small wrenches are on the plastic hold trays.
Nice set up Brian only thing we need now is some dry weather to put them to work another 3 inches from this last hurricane on ground that was already soaked
hard closed cell foam, use a wood or wire burner to cut out for each wrench set on edge, holds them tight, not a lot of wasted space and the don't rattle and get the hell beat out of them. Diesel wrenching in the oil fields and other places it's done the trick.
Also name and # of company that built and installed it
Buy some closed cell foam and cut out notches for the wrenches etc
I augment by painting red = SAE and green = metric. Also dipped the tops of my Phillips screwdrivers in white paint to give them a distinct "hat".
Really nice set up
Looks great,everything you need,plus gets the daily stuff done,great truck!!!
What air compressor did you buy? I am currently setting my truck up very similarly
Adding a vice or chuck will top it off 👍🏽
Sweet set up Brian. Mt Vernon isn't far from my hometown of Coshocton. On you're wrenches look up Atlas 46. They make some pretty sweet canvas wrench organizers, socket organizers, and tool bags that are affordably priced.
Real nice service utility body that you have there.
Your channel has grown a lot since you put videos up of harvest
Nice looking setup you have there. Eby outside London, Ohio makes some sweet truck beds as well.
Sick truck. Very cool
Dang it Brian! Just when I thought I had everything I needed to be happy I watched this... Good looking truck and awesome bed.
Thanks for watching. It’s hard to imagine not having it now.
Years ago I saw a rubber t shape filler for between tailgate and bed don't remember in which catalog or try to fabricate something from rubber to fill that gap it got to be flexible though
That truck is sweet man.
Good looking truck with the service bed buddy
Great video, I live in mount vernon so I see there products quite a bit. They come weight the trucks here at the co-op form time to time.
Who makes the 3/8 swivel sockets? Also try the new wrench widget organizers
Brian. If you could measure the distance from the ground to the top of the tailgate. Wondering how many inches it is compared to a stock bed.
If I don’t forget
An Edge Insight and EFI would be a nice addition. Nice setup.
How is the clearance pulling the camper with the raised boxes in the front, would you say it's about the same as having a crossover toolbox in a regular truck bed?
Probably. I have plenty of clearance for about 100 degrees of turning. Where it gets close it the inside of the bed. The camper hitch almost hits the inside of the middle took box before you have to worry about the front box
That’s a sweet set up!!!! I want it
How much did that service body cost You?
Nice truck. Have you thought about a welder or fule tank in the front of the bed?
Would help to have a vice, small crane and maybe a folding lighting mast. These could all be detachable for convenience. And of course, you can never have enough storage.
On your wrenches take a piece of 3/4 angle iron and cut notches in it and your inches will set where they're face you
The best bed I’ve ever seen
This the best one I have seen so for.veru interested.
That is an awesome box.
What kind of power inverter you use? I am looking for one in my service pickup. Getting tired of forgetting batteries to bring home to charge after a lond day in the field haha
What is the model number for this bed? How much did it set you back?
Cost and installation
Can you haul a pallet? Or will a 4’x8’ plywood sheet fit?
It’s tight but yes
@@BriansFarmingVideos thank you, love your videos, I watch every video, keep up the good work
Thanks boss for sharing... awesome setup!!!
Martins Welding out of Martinsburg, Pennsylvania also make aluminum flatbeds and aluminum gooseneck utility beds that are nice.
That’s a cool service truck
Nice truck, watching from philippines, i wish i could have a truck like that,
Thanks
Just take a good diameter wire, coil it around a thick broom handle or something. Take it off the handle and pull the coiled wire apart enough, to put your wrenches in the spaces.
How much was the bed?
Dude nice setup! 👍🏼
thats about as nice of a service body that iv seen on a single rear wheeled pickup iv always liked the lids that lift up as long as its not snowing very nice looking match the
great vid brian nice setup, have a good weekend
How much did that bed cost
Wow you got one very nice truck and it’s a Chevy! That Duramax is awesome!
Hey
Awsome truck brother!
I’ve wondered about steel beds vs aluminum beds. Norstar now offers an aluminum bed. That will probably be the direction I go
Norstar was the bed that originally peaked my interest but at the time they only offered steel beds
For your end wrench organization I would suggest trying some sort of large springs.
Check out Martin truck bodies in pa. They make specialty gooseneck service bodies and they’re awesome
No refrigerator for George's lunch. 🤣
Hows the door seals?
Very nice truck!
For the wrenches I keep in the truck , I keep sae separate from metric with a piece of bailing wire tied thru the box end
Do pallets fit in the back ?
Yes
Wow impressive Thank you
Needs a recever mount vice set up.
Good job 👍🏼
I’ve been waiting for this, thanks Brian!
Very nice truck, where did you get the Interior
It’s from a company called katskin. They look good but I don’t think they hold up well.
Brian....just an FYI for you. I recalled you mentioning the Voltair compressor in this video and was interested in it. I found them on the net and called John at the company that builds them now. I mentioned that I saw it on TH-cam. He called back today wanting to know the video that I saw it in and I gave him the name of this video. He might try to get in touch with you so I just wanted to give you a heads up.
Thanks
Snap on has roll up bags for their wrenches maybe you could find something like that.
Truck videos work to 👍. We have sleet coming down right now 😞..✌God bless stay safe 🚜🇺🇸🚜🇺🇸🚚🇺🇸🚚
How much did you pay for the bed
Brian love you videos and love ur truck
Oh no aluminum??? Haven’t you seen the Chevy commercials it’s no good! Your going to have holes in it soon and the first bucket full of cement blocks you dump on it will dent it up! Sorry couldn’t resist, kidding aside nice looking rig you got there! Milwaukee Fuel tools and you can’t go wrong.
Nice video man keep up the good work! And nice shirt.
Gotta love Milwaukee
BADASS truck brother
Whats the bed weigh?
I wanna say 700lbs it was 300lbs over stock bed
What brand are the drawers in the front drivers box?
I think Hughes equipment makes them in house but I could be wrong. Either way they were the only option when I ordered the bed
Happy National Farmers Day!
Thank you
