Hows it going everyone? Well, I just sold the bed off my 2001 Ford F-250 longbed. I want to make a really nice rig out of it. Does any one have any ideas on how to keep the cost down with building the frame?
Im not a pipewelder, I do general maintenance and mechanical work. Looking on how to keep cost of materials down. But pics of some rigs would help too.
Thanks!

You could go with something like this. On a smaller scale of course.
