Chevy & GMC Truck Build a Bed w/Wood Floor From Scratch AND Convert your Stepside to a Fleetside!!!

usually i like stepsides but the lines are so nice on these trucks it just looks good to see them keep going down the bed

You are a master, a professional, and you care about the smallest details, you are a real teacher, thank you for being in our lives, greetings to you, your lover from Kuwait

Not only a very knowledgeable tech , but also has the best teaching skills I have watched.

Dave, I do really like your bed mount “Short-Bolt” trick. Either 4 or 6, but if the bottom plate can move, drilling a slightly oversized hole, weld a nut on the inside will definitely make a cleaner look plus less places for water to pool. Folks, don’t ever forget the end grain of wood when treating it with your favorite juice. It wicks water into the fibers of the wood simply as these are the bundles a straws threes they came from use to drink up the sap up the tree. Once cut and kiln dried, they don’t know it if is sap or water. Think of Maple syrup comes from, behind the bark & cambium layer, into the cellulose fibers. Neat trick again Dave on the “Hidden” bed to frame bolt with welded nut. That will forever be my “Dave Fastener”!

I'm looking to do a shortbed/woodfloor conversion on my c10, and this is just what the doctor ordered. So many helpful hints. I've had the bed off twice and never thought about taking the rear wheels off. Also, now I'm definitely building the bed off the truck, too. Thanks.

I actually plan to get a stepside bed for my 84 gmc sierra classic 1500. And get it converted to shortbed before i lift it. These videos are so educational man. Thanks guys

Love that 2 by 4 set up

gotcha on the tail gate ! kinda showed me how to do the wood bed on my 70 . thanks !

You guys are so good to your employees.

Really nice for you to show us how to do so much on these trucks.

Thanks for the video , great details and explanation of the assembly procedures

VERY helpful video once again! thank you!

Well said on opening video luv those rims on that truck.

Fantastic instructional video.

Look better with stepside

Very nice, so on your site you sell the all in one bed kit, does that include the bolts and hardware or does that need to be purchased as well. My 72 short bed came with a 90 style bed and I want to pull it and put a short fleet side on.

My bedsides stick out wider than the cab. Not sure why. I did re use the original bed supports.

So I’ve got a 1970 and it was converted to a dually, I’ve having a hard time finding wider wheel wells any suggestions? Or maybe a quick how to on how to do something like this?

Is the step side frame the same as the shortbed frame or will there still some cutting?

I have a 1985 c10 long bed that I want to convert into a short bed what kit would work
