Finally a truck that looks like it’s actually been on a job site before👍🏼

Nice rig bud, you will always be changing & updating the tool boxes no matter what. i like the rusted mild steel look.

Well done sir ! Thanks for sharing your rig.

Hey, Bud....fill up some empty plastic water bottles with water and use them as re-freezable ice packs. The 2liter sizes are good, but the smaller sizes are more usable in placing them around your food and drink containers. Hopefully the freezer compartment in your refrigerator can handle the job. The smaller bottles will freeze up a lot quicker than the 2 liter sizes. They can give you some more cold drinking water out on the job site after they've melted down some. Those bags of small cubes suck because they just don't last long enough for spit. Another thought, too, is you can go to a large truck stop like Petro or a 76 or some other, and check out those large ice chests that plug into a cigarette lighter and consider getting one of those. I used one when I was in longhaul trucking and they work GREAT. They will keep things about 45 degrees lower than the ambient temps inside your truck OR that much warmer. Those suckers cool OR warm things, depending on what your needs are at any particular time. I bought one of the small, 6-pack ones for my brother in law to have in his patrol car. (he was a city cop) I thought he could use it for snacks, etc....especially when on night shift or a stakeout. I had my large chest (about a 30 quart size) for over 3 years on the road and still have it stored away. I kept pints of chocolate milk and donuts in it for breakfast eating so I could keep moving and the milk would actually "slush up" in it. The heating / cooling thing is controlled by a simple switch. You make the best money as a trucker if you keep that left door closed and not stop at every dang truckstop. Hope these ideas are some help to you. I like your vids, man. Oh.....you can get a voltage adapter that plugs into a 110 wall socket and use those chests in your home. Put your stuff inside of it at night before going to bed for pre-cooling the food and just put it into your truck the next morning before leaving for work; plug it into the cigar lighter and food will be ready to eat right then, if you choose.

Thanks for the tour

Love the rusty look

Great job and video.

nice truck man love it

AWWW poor Hank, give him some of the good stuff so he associates the sizzling with treats, next thing you know he will be knocking you down to get to the stove!

nice rig 👍🏽👍🏼

Not bad for a first time! 😃👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Nice setup man

Poor dog. Cool video very informative.

Nice rig to say the least!!

Nice set up! I got fed up with having a mess in my back seat so i took the seat out and put in an Alu shelf/ organizer box.

odessa viewer right here, single hand welder for now, been 2 years of that. couple more years i’ll b breaking out the rig truck

Nice setup

Nice truck

Nice rig brother..

1964 Red Face...Yeah Baby. Mine is a 1968. A year younger than me and in a helluva lot better shape.lol

Need you a good jewl Clamp to for getting that high low outta your fits when there in the rack and such doing field welds and good purge dam stuff and tape as well

Texas proud lol.

Some flushmounted ATV lights on the back would be awesome on each side of your lettering. KZfaq is a great recipe book

Just subbed to the channel. Where did you get the straight edge holders?

Lol you forgot to mention your W.C Graves Fitters Blue Book you had in there

I like your bed alot! I'm a welder too and can't pant to save my life. I really like thats its got some rust. Just like the weleding kart I maded for my Hobart 190. I'm buying a miller Bobcat soon I cant wait to make a bed to my 3/4 ton to put every thing I need on.

good lookin rig i have an 06 too is that a short or long bed?

Are yall using abrasive chop saws or carbide , just curious?

First time watching, what kind of dog is Hank? He looks just like my dog, to a tee.. Thanks Mike

What symptoms did you have with the old armature to know it was bad?

Nice thing about being a welder is you can change the bed anyway you want.

If you were going to buy a bed, knowimg what you know now what and where would you buy?? Any ideas?

Nice to see a real truck rather than a 100,000 rig that Daddy buys his little Boy

Just bought a 2012 3500hd and will be removing the old mechanic bed and hopefully can build me a nice bed. I have tons of crap, I mean tools.

Like an unsung melody, the truth is waiting there for you to find it, it's not a blight but a remedy, a clear reminder of how it began

Livin Like Larry

Nice.

Still a nice setup id painted it before installing that bed or line X it I couldnt look at all that surface rust on my truck daily lol

that's how we roll welders do it they build their own beds by mother's boyfriend in the 70s built his own bed and then went to Alaska the well the pipelines up there cool dude

Wer was u staying at..?? I heard u saying something about Odessa, are u by Monahans TX or Kermint TX?

hey brother you should show the tools you have and how you use them in the field. Like your miter finder and those pipe clamps, would be informative, keep the videos coming!

I’d like to see how you made the across bed toolbox

Yes 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Perfect example of a construction roady as they call em on jobs during shutdowns and such

i saw a rig just like yours in charlottesville va

Hadn't seen any videos in forever.

I'm trying to design a bed for my rig. I don't really care how it turns out so long as I can make money with it.

hey man was this video made in kermit tx

Man I dig how ya built your bed

How'd you build your lead reels?

I believe iv seen that rig in joelton tn.

You built that bed heavy as hell id tried to stay light yet strong

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

How do you survive in the winter

could probably get into those boxes with a claw hammer, bend back that tab and the latch should clear even with the lock

New subscriber. Hello!

What kind of lead reels are those?

hola podes mostrar mas en detalle el extractor de poleas de color rojo que se aprecia en el minuto 6:02 que lo quiero fabricar gracias feliz navidad

where abouts in MO are you located got some work i want done.

where did you get your lead reels,or how did you make the insulated swivels for the leads

Just seen this video. You said you were from Missouri, what part? I'm from south east mo. I was wondering how you got into pipelining and any advice you could share. Thanks

What town you in?

Missouri farm tags i bit lol

What part of Missouri are you from?

That look like big lake tx

You said you have a ground clamp for stainless? Just curious to why you have a separate one.

Why did you stud a stock 5.9 tractor engine??

Hey some Matt black paint

Where ya hail from?

How much does a 1 ton diesel weigh after installing the bed and all the equipment for the job?

at a glance the truck seems to be nice . but the camera is too shakey to tell almost made me dizzy

what games do you play on ps4

My brother has a welding rig like that

You wouldn't have happened to be at bass pro in kansas a few months ago would you?

Can you make a video on how to make a hoosier pole

Hell I'm from Kansas

You need some paint and a weight bench first thing!!!!!

how much did you spend on making your bed

Beautiful red face.

Why do you need a ice box lol

The longer you work the more youll want to change it lol. I aint never built a bed i didnt want to change a week later

1:03 🐶🙂

What type of truck are you running I missed that!

How much weight do you pull of the gooseneck behind the axle? I am building a rig and need to move the hitch behind the axle but everyone says it will ride bad and will not work.

What made you go with dodge?

I HAVE THE SAME TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!

Lol musket

Those sheetmetal screws are dangerous as shit.

Haha...

Nope, won't cool down until end of October

Looks like your in monahans tx

it needs paint

What tires do you run on the truck?

cut the tip off. yee yee

Hi my name is gee and I was just wondering if you needed a welder helper or no anybody who needs one or any company's who are hiring for a welder helper

No paint on bed typical

check my first welding video on my channel too lol.

Why not paint it??? If you do something, do it right. Plus, having it rusty makes employers think you are in it for the short term. Just my opinion though. Nice bed.

You are all over with the camera. That's why people won't watch your channel.
