I love watching the wonderful work that all of you folks do in your shop, it is simply amazing.

    Bonjour Steve,
    I fully agree with you about many points :
    - You dont' make enough videos,
    - You can't do anything now without 1000 safety rules to respect
    - Why make it simple when you can make it complicated
    You are an uncommon person, not obsessed with money and always passionate, you would deserve even much more subscribers !
    Your truck will be unique, and we will never seen it in France or even in Europe 😭
    Amicalement, Raphaël

    Hey Steve ,how about using angle iron with rivets on the edges of the bed . Put rubber on the bottom (so it doesn't rattle ) and hinge them so the outside piece lyes flat for fork lifting stuff on the bed ! It will also tie the look together carrying that edge along the bed to the cab .

    Amazing work. You could make the side rails on roll up hinged and worked to match other attachments . I know it would be a lot more work. I have hinged type with pull out rings on inside that add more tie down options on my bradfordbuilt bed and I love them. I drop them when loading pallets and have the sides if needed.

    Quality of construction and attention to detail sets this truck way out there with it's uniqueness. Gotta tell ya in your opening scene I was looking at your press brake and remembering what it was like working and forming steel on machines with names like Verson and Pexto. I'm retired and miss it all. Before covid bs we used to spend 3-4 months in Vegas for the Winter. Haven't been back out there since. I'd work for free if I had the chance. All old school flat pattern layout like for elbow gores ect. Dinosaur tin knocker. LoL

      It's like a rolling Americana history work of a lot of detail what American's used to produce. Still can whether it's in a home drive way or a huge SHOP. As long as Americans are producing something. Teach the younger generation to get involved. To many parent's are raising softies that don't know how to work!
      Get them involved whether it's wood work, electrical, pip fitting welding, art work or even playing an instrument anything is better than playing video games.

    Cut the rail off for ease of side loading, but make stake pockets so you can still have your guide rail! Id also plasma cut an accurate hole for or jus incorporate down the center some how of a E.Z track cargo tie down type system, down the center for bikes and smaller items and plus never hurts to have them extra tie spots!

      Seth, the message on telegram is a scam, do not go there. It has been reported.
      The green was too perfect, I had to mess it up! LOL

      Hi Robert, Because the speed limit is only 55 in California with three axles, I took one off because I don't need to haul that much weight with the truck anymore with the roll back on it. Thanks for asking and thanks for watching!
