did something similar to this for a old ranger I had. the center two floor/bed boards tho I put on hinges and didnt bolt them down but used a groove sorta like cabinets so they could sit flush. this way if I ever needed to get at the fuel pump I'd never have to drop the tank. after doing two fuel pumps on my other trucks, I will never ever drop a tank every again. so i wanted to be able to just flip open a small section of my bed and easily reach the fuel pump.

I realise this is an older video, but it might help if you cut a slot in the clamping piece. that way you can slide it on from the side and you don't have to remove the wing nut anymore since the rings can pass over it.

How is this holding up?
@FranklinWoodWorks201625 күн бұрын
Well, to be honest, I had to rebuild it using pressure treated wood. But other than that, no complaints. I also added "fender" cutouts when I put bigger tires on it.

Nice to see a woodworker build a flat bed. So many folks have no woodworking skills.

Also I just watched again. The pink color would be less if you use off road diesel. It is clear. Use it in my tractor.

Were the floor boards just screwed into the wood frame? Flat bedding my 02 ranger.
@FranklinWoodWorks2016Ай бұрын
Yes, just screwed in. But I would suggest using washers with the screws.

Tre-wax for me, appears to be more durable than Johnson’s. I think Tre-Wax dries with a harder finish. I’ve used it since 1962, trying many alternatives throughout the years.

Why not use 1/2 inch on just the back piece. The back piece only runs against the runner. That way the side where you cut can still be the 1/4. That back piece is even the bigger of the 2.

Did your fuel nozzle cap area end up too low for fall into the tank? How did you support it under the bed?

I looked through your videos and did not see how you made your baffle. I'll keep looking, but if you see this and feel like pushing me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
@FranklinWoodWorks20163 ай бұрын
It's called a "thien baffle." I didn't do a video because others on KZfaq have already posted builds. The videos I used as a guide were "Thien Baffle Top Hat Dust Separator" by ghostses. It's a five part series (really long but super detailed). I think I used his plans exactly, the variation may have been accounting for the size of my dust bin. Don't make the same mistake as others - make sure your dust bin is rigid. A plastic Rubbermaid trash can will collapse under the suction. I used a 55 gal drum, but I think any metal trash can will work. Although the build was tedious, it was very fun and the results are awesome. Good luck.

Just use Evaporust to remove the rust. No rubbing. Then get it copper plated then Nickel electroplated. It will never rust again.

Of course you have the skills to align the holes. Next time, just drill the first hole all the way through, and using a larger diameter drill bit go through just the front. Do not go through it. This allows the screw heads to be recessed. Great job.
