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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

Love watching a plan come together!! Great job!

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

Great design, and build! Well done!

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

Looks good, really good. Your a knowledgeable guy.

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

Amazing work!!! Love it.

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 .

Really nice welds. Great job.

Great job! Looks fantastic!

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. 👌

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

Awesome job! Looks great.

Nice work love the tail light layout and skewed corners

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

Super excited to see Bessie again! Keep them coming!

What a wonderful job and the welding is so neat

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

Looks fantastic. Around here they will nail ya for not having a light over the plate, but I absolutely love how this turned out.

Oh man! That turned out great!!

Awesome build, thanks for the share 🔥🔥

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

I love your flat bed modification man.

Love it! Looking forward to seeing the 4x4 conversion!

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

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

Solid work!! 👍👍

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

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.

Amazin!!! Awesome work!

Clean and simply perfect

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

Excellent work 🤘🏻🤘🏻

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

Nice looking 👍👍👍 the job was ok 👍👍👍

Simple fácil y bien hecho. Excelente.😊

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

This is the flatbed I am considering for a similar chevy 1/2 ton I am building. Yours is one of the cleanest looking beds I have seen. If I may ask, what is your total cost in materials? Are you planning on adding a "headache" rack in the future? How about mudflaps or wheel wells in the rear to protect the underside of your bed? I know that by your title your intended to build this at least cost, but now are you considering any updates or additions, such as running lights on the sides of the bed, towing mirrors, and the like? Thanks for sharing your video, and best wishes on your future projects.

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

Really looks great!

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

..... Great Flatbed build.

I like the way you did it man! cool to see

Dope project! I need to get into welding, pretty awesome what you can do!

*Excellent work 🎉*

Super job , bravo.

Excelente trabajo 👌 saludos desde 🇲🇽

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.

Awesome job man. Wow. I love it.

You did a great job man. That looks awesome!

Great job !!!

Awesome job my friend looks great LP 67 C10

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

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

Never watched your channel before. I can tell that you are an actual welder/fabricator after 30 seconds haha. Nice work!

BRO YOU ARE A BEAST! GOD BLESS YOU!

Good job 👏 👏👏👏👏😀 Congratulations 😎👍

Great work!! Looking forward to the 4x4 swap

Neato!! Building stuff kicks ass! 😀

OUTSTANDING 😊

Great job, man. You got skills

Awesome job!

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

Looks awesome. Now I want to do this.

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

Loved every second of the video

THE BEST AWESOME PERFECT WORK.....😁👌👍

looks great,,, head board and trailer hitch .. for the next budget build lookin forward to it.

Beautiful!

Great fab skills!

Awesome truck and love the flat bed it looks great 👍

First time looking at your videos and i enjoyed watching. It would be great to have list of the materials used in the build. I have a D-21 with an old rusted box, I would like to build a flate bed. Thanks for making this video.

You did it a fantastic job congratulations

That turned out awesome! Great work man. So cool to see Ol' Bessy coming along.

great job, best regards from Venezuela

You have inspired me on my build. Ty sir!

Man you did an awesome job!

Dude yes looks awesome

Awesomeness job. Nice congratulations

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

Nice job !!!

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!

Всегда радовала при таких серьезных работах покраска баллончиком!!!

Ole Bessie is looking amazing. Can't believe the transformation from what she was when you got her. I dog the flatbed.... one suggestion/heads up. You might want to put a gap between those boards. As they get moisture, they swell and will "cup" buckle due to the lack of space. Cant wait to see the 4x4 swap... gonna be awesome! Greetings from Oregon.

Outstanding!

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

Great job 👍

Looks awesome!

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