Topic: Bed Bob $

[Slobbermouth]

Im lookin to bob my bed.  What is a resonable price to pay ?

[ninja turtle]

not sure what you mean. its cheap though.... metal skilsaw blade, sawsall blades, cutoff disks...  maybe 20 bucks.

welding wire $10
spray paint $5

[Slobbermouth [OP]]

Okay let me rephrase my question.  I want to bob the bed of my truck.  I do not have a welder nor do I feel confident enough to weld up the bed and have it look good. So what im asking is if I paid someone to do it for me what would be a reasonable price ?

[ninja turtle]

im sure you could find someone willing to help. ive done 2 and it only takes a couple hours. if you where up here i would help you for beer. but... if you have the cash to strait up pay somebody to do it i would say between 100 and 200....

I don't think it'd be worth it to pay someone to do it IMO.  Of course, it also depends on how much work you do to prep it.  Its a couple hour job, start to finish, so you're probably looking at $300 or so for a shop to do it.  Figure roughly $100 an hour for the welders time, plus tax and materials.  However, if you cut the section off, and had it all prepped, you might get away with $75-100 or so

make some friends from the board, and have them help you..

I would say more like $500 to have it done if you include paint and body work.  At least that is what I would charge if someone came to me and asked me to do it.

 ok, if you want paint and body work its going to be a lot more money and will take more then a couple hours. i guess it all depends on how you want it to look when its finished.

figure 75 an hour for the bob itself and however much a body work guy charges. Prolly most of a day to get it looking factory.

if your talking about cuting welding grinding body work primer bondo paint sand clear and buff and wax somewhere around $1600-$2500 for it done right. theirs alot to paint but if you just did a cheapo one make friends with people on here around you and paint it with a spray can

Myself and some other freinds of mine on this board helped a guy do a SAS, change the rear coils of a 4runner to leafs rebuild front axle, diff guards and bumpers for nothing, well the cost of supplies for the welder, grinder and torch gas.

Now your on to something. Lots of Fresno people on here. Rocblaze does some seriously awesome work, just look at Marlins doors. He is in Oakhurst, I'll bet he can give you a price.

[Joey88RUNR]
