Bessie is looking good, I like the bed. Id like to make 2 suggestions, D - Rings to make tying or strapping down a load easier. 2nd cap the ends of the square tube, over time rust will bleed out of the open square tube and it won’t look as good. Keep up the good work.

I think it's a great start to a very functional truck bed. I'd personally like to see a headache rack myself. I have had flatbeds both ways. A headache rack is a life saver.

Great video. The flat bed looks great. The only things I would add are some tie down points and a cab protection from loads on the bed.

Headache rack would be the cherry on top! Awesome build 🙌

Really like the simplicity of this build. A lot of flat bed build videos are just overdone and make it look too complicated. Good job!

A flatbed makes total sense. The modular versatility is limited to your imagination. Thank you kind sir for sharing all of the little fabricating tricks... the finished product looks sharp!

The open tubing should have caps covering the openings and the lack of stake pockets makes load securement difficult as well as the inability to short side panels to prevent things from rolling or sliding off the bed . I missed seeing how you handled the fuel filler kneck . Some sort of headache rack to protect the back of the cab . A place for a gooseneck ball would be handy . A step or some means of climbing up on to the bed would be helpful . A storage box to secure chains, binders and ratchet straps as well as a box for tools . Last of all the truck now needs mudflaps to be legal . I also didn't see where you intend to put your license plate and the license plate light . Reflective tape down the sides and across the back would a nice touch . Maybe another video may be in order to rectify those issues I brought up . It is a nice start of a functional working flatbed .

Phenomenal build and I like how you repurposed 12:26 part of the bed . Cheers 🇨🇦

one of my favorite diy flatbed styles I've seen so far ,nice work

You should coat the under side of the boards with the same stuff you put on the back of the truck it will help the boards. And cover the top with total boats brand clear marine epoxy. 👌

Loved it. Reminded me of helping my dad do that in 1963.

You made it look so easy, nice workmanship and details. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next step.

Very good deck, beautiful, I really like that you didn't talk too much and actually showed. Thanks for the video.

I have an old 1989 Chevy Cheyenne 1 ton Dually with a great cab and frame but the service box has seen better days. I'm considering a Flatbed to replace the old rusty box. Your video is inspiring. Appreciate you sharing the build process. Looks great.

Looks awesome. Easy to remove too. I agree with other people you should make a headache rack but make it easily removable when you don’t need it and it won’t be in the way.

That looks really good, I like how you did the taillights and tied them together with the old bed material.

Quality. I like the trick you did at 8:28. Instead of having to fight yourself to keep the piece up.. also like how you cut your angles. Great job. You made me want to go buy a welder now lol

Wow, I been gone way too long but I am getting a bing following of this great build... I remember "Bessie" coming out of a death throw to be a truck someone would be proud to own Chuck.. I see the four wheel video is also up so thanks to you an yours for these very entertaining videos

Absolutely first class, you have great skills man. 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Cool 😎 🆒️ 😎 🆒️ Well done. Greetings from germany Christoph 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋

RIGHT ON GR8 JOB, IM BUILDING ANOTHER 1950 GMC FLATBED. THANKS 4 SHARING.

This is the most Florida thing I've ever seen

Greetings from Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada! Well done!😎

Fine job son! That's a better bed than the factory one when it was a new truck!!!

Looks great. I'd weld some caps on the ends of the box section to prevent internal corrosion. Install some wheel arches to prevent the underside of the bed from rotting or being cakes with dirt. D rings or stake pockets would add versatility to the beds use and abilities to carry different loads

THE BEST AWESOME PERFECT WORK.....😁👌👍

That was a great job that remind me back in 1971 my dad built from scratch a tow truck with a 1954 Chevrolet truck it took him 6 weeks melting electro road

And now to add some chrome strips on the bottoms of the mud flaps. Along with some groovy tool storage boxes under the bed. Maybe some stake pockets and some removable sides and, of course, the nifty tailgate/cargo gates. Excellent video, by the way.

Came out really nice really nice. I am a big fan of the. Because I started doing that with every truck that I owned. If it wasn't a flatbed I converted into dump body.

Awesome build! Might consider putting a Mansfield bar (bumper) or a hitch on the back. Maybe a headache rack as well.

That turned out great. And I learned something too. 👏👍

Nice work love the tail light layout and skewed corners

Lookin good 👍 Need some tool boxes underneath, a bumper and hitch and a headache rack.

Looks great. I'd dd a backboard and mesh window cover, and add a tool box on each side behind the rear tyres.

Great design, and build! Well done!

Dang man thats a badass look...it looks factory great job

Nice looking 👍👍👍 the job was ok 👍👍👍

Really looks great!

All those comments make me wonder if they would be able to do better. That was spectacular work without criticism. just wow good job

great job, best regards from Venezuela

Super job , bravo.

Всегда радовала при таких серьезных работах покраска баллончиком!!!

👍👍. Heck yeah!! Now make a guard for the back of the cab.. 4wd will be cool

Clean and simply perfect

looks good ! I like the fact you added steel to the underneath and sides. I did one just straight wood. Looked ok but that I Like good job!

You just gave me an idea for my 99 Dodge 👍🏻 Good job it looks EXCELLENT

I love your flat bed modification man.

BEAUTIFUL JOB.

Awesome job my friend looks great LP 67 C10

What a wonderful job and the welding is so neat

Nice job man !! REAL nice job !!!

Look so good ,Chuck keep up and thank for you ideas bless you

Your a natural! That is an awesome design! I'll take 2.

Needs headache rack and wood side planks. Then fill the lower gap with work boxes. Bed is AWESOME!!

I like it. I think adding the bed flooring on the back was a very nice touch. Only critique I have would be not to weld on the frame. The same thing could've been accomplished by bolting onto the frame. Good job!

Great job! Looks fantastic!

Amazing work!!! Love it.

That's really dope dude. Been putting putting together some ideas for a flatbed on my truck, this is a great place to start. Probably could get all this done under $500.

BRO YOU ARE A BEAST! GOD BLESS YOU!

Bro that is a cleeeeean bed! Great job!!👍🏼 Just got out of the military and hope to use my GI Bill to go to welding school! Thanks for the Entertainment!

Awesome job! Looks great.

Always look forward to your videos Chuck! Love the channel and your work!

Nice work. Only thing missing are stake pockets on the outer frame rail. The tapered rear was a great special feature

Really nice welds. Great job.

Congratulations my friend! Your jobs are awesome! Hi from Chile.

Super excited to see Bessie again! Keep them coming!

You made it look easy 👍

GOOD WORK... LOOKS REALLY NICE... GODSPEED...

I love that build bro. You done your thing on that one.

*Excellent work 🎉*

Awesome job!

Skills...you made it look easy. Very nice.

Loved every second of the video

Beautiful!

This is awesome, man. Well done! Inspires me to want to learn to weld.

Man the possibilities are endless as to what you do with this truck. I would weld brackets on the side frames with ratchet straps so you can haul all sorts of stuff

Dude yes looks awesome

Great job, I will weld some hooks beside the bed for attaching materials

Awesomeness job. Nice congratulations

That is a great looking bed …!!!!😎😎🛻

Perfect timing video 🎉 keep going 🔝
