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.

After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans kzfaq.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG 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!

Need a couple of benches back there to haul the crew around the farm.

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!

You always make developing a complicated widget look effortless. The gate mechanism is fantastic.

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 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...

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!

Love the styling of this truck Jimmy!

Love it, utilitarian and creative. Love how truck beds have modified for any need since their advent.

Cool project! I enjoyed the different editing you put into this episode. Thanks for sharing.

Your editing gets better and better. This was a fun build. Also loved watching the clouds in time lapse! Thank you!

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!!!!

Looks good, perfectly matches that truck like it was always there.

Adds a nice look to the truck, I did something similar with my '90 sportside.

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

Great video Jimmy! Love the flat bed truck and now with the side racks and gate, its awesome! Great build!

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.

Nicely done Jimmy, nicely done.

NIce and useful project Jimmy, thanks. I like the hinges you fabricated!

Truck looks great and the design of the stake bed and tailgate is top notch

Awesome job Jimmy. That truck bed is a real winner too, super useful!!

Loved the old man grunt putting the gate back up.

Brilliant, Jimmy! Fantastic work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Nice build. Now you need something to protect your back window.

As always, very impressive work and attention to detail.

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 love the way that truck sounds!

the closure with the milled tube is very cool🤗👍👍

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

I loved the quick cut at 8:16 were you turn on the welder. It's like pop-lock editing, so good!

Great truck mod! My son (7) loves Making fun. The taco throwing Dino was his favorite

That looks awesome. Never seen railing for a truck bed like that.

Thanks Jimmy, old school stake bed, love it! 👍👍👍

Thank you Jimmy, a set of solid sides ... 👏👏👏 they should age nicely ..

OUTSTANDING side kit for your stake body,thanks for the video🤗😎🤗😎

Such a good looking farm truck Jimmy. Coming together nice 👍

Great film and build. Cool design on gate. Mahalo for sharing! 🙂🐒

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.

@7:25 - would have been neat to have left them on, kinda like a Roman chariot or something. Anyway great project - I like to see these modifications! Thanks for posting and thumbs up.

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.

Looks great Jimmy!🔥

Very cool, Jimmy!

He never disappoints. Thinks outside the box. Well done.

Good looking work truck.

I could watch this stuff all day long … oh wait. I already do! Thanks, Jimmy!

As per usual...Slick Job Jimmy!

Nice project.

Looks good, Jimmy!

Super clean! Thank you for the vid!

Simple is usually best! Jimmy does it again 👍

My man Jimmy D. at it again. Thanks for all you do. Much love from Michigan.

Awww yes! A clasic Diresta project! Good times

The welder startup sequence is BACK!!! Awesome. :D

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.

A stake truck is very versatile. If I had a truck that would be it. Nice build.

good job mister Jimmy Diresta

Great build! Also super cool you can just levitate higher when you need to reach a spot. (6:53)

Still finds a way to put the diresta left turn in there. Nice job on the tail gate. Very cool.

A great upgrade! I have a story about a 100 pound garbage disposal rolling off my truck....

thanks buddy, i need to make up a set for my trailer

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. 😁

You got a mill in the big shop now! 🤘nice.

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

...and then it just paid for itself! Great work.

i love watching your videos jimmy

This is awesome Jimmy!!! Love it! Happy Birthday bud!!! -Brian

You continue to inspire me good sir. Thank you.

Nothing cooler than a flatbed work truck with wood sides!

That truck is going to see some work I bet - looks great!

Привет из Беларуси! Отличная работа, аж глаз радуется!

You did a great job 👏

@15:35 great shades Jimmy !

Bellissimo lavoro 👍👏👏👏👏👏💪

SOLID Stout build! 🔥

My friend designed a great car too good health and success

Really great 👍 job

Your painting skills are improved! 🤣

Jimmy for the sake of your back make that back gate one side a hinge. Love your projects.

They tailgate mechanism is genius!

purdy nice going into town rig......

Oh great! Now I have to make bedrails for the Hot Wheels I made you? Hahaha 😆 Looks great Jimmy. Form & function.

Really Awesome!

Молодец, приятно на дяденьку смотреть.

Great Videos thank you.

I wake up, there is a new Diresta video... some days definitely are better than others. please, have my thumb up, my good sir.

good job man! you should put thick and heavy metal mesh to protect the rear window

Te quedo muy bien saludos 😃 Jimmy

Tops for the stakes and some wood protection to prevent moisure would be fine also! Newertheless i enjoyed watching this!

Mis respetos! Maestro!

you sure make it look easy

Amazing work. Pretty sure it’s heavy, so a amazing hinge, I know you don’t want to lift that anymore haha

I’m surprised you didn’t put the back piece on a hinge and removable! But as always, beautiful and inspiring work.

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!

What’s up Jimmy . Love your videos 🤙🏽

Отличный кастом!!!👍

looks exactly like how my grandpa made everything ! silver paint, boxed tube and carriage bolts !

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) 🤓 🛠️ 🔝

Damn you are so ingenious. Thanks for the vid

Like the Asterix wings.
