We built a utility bed with permanent camper 4 years ago. '93 F-350 4 door 4x4 long bed, found an apropos utility bed from a '73 Ford. You need the one with no trays or boxes that access from the top. Also the older ones have piano style door hinges, I liked that much better. '88 FWC...

We went through all this with our F350 4 door long bed. In the end we just bolted the camper to the frame. Through the utility bed. I think with that sized truck and that kind of weight, you're not gonna have any problems. Your main problem with the whole rig is going to be keeping the weight...

Can't remember how to use the private message function. I would send you my email and phone number. We'll wait for your reply here. Thanks.

So I spoke with my wife, we want to buy it. If it is definitely for sale, let me know. Do want to come and take a hard look at it. Then figure out how I can come up there and get it. I have quite a few different trucks I could use. Let me know.

I am interested. Let me see what I can come up with. The trick is, of course, finding the right truck.

Seriously though. I don't like poisoning rats and mice cause they crawl somewhere and die. If where they go is in a house or vehicle, where I am unable, for any reason, to remove their bodies, they're gonna stink to high heaven. This causes discomfort. When I was young, did some apartment...

"Pumpkin, I think we got us a vigilant!" "Just shoot'im in the face, Hunnybunny."

I'm in LA. Pretty far. Not impossible. Do you have a price range?

This idea is genius. Simple household materials. Will be implementing. As for illegality and inhumanity, I'm all for that. But seeing rats nesting under the hood of my camper? No. It has to be addressed severely.

Where are you at? Might know a buyer.

Looking at our camper, I don't think he actually changed the roof of your camper. I believe he modified the lower rear portion of the camper, the section that would normally hang off the back of a pickup with the tailgate removed. The roof hood of our camper is also 9' long. I can see what he...

Hey Mike. Hope all's well. Peanut butter is the best rat bait I have found. I am now using dryer sheets, traps, rataway spray. I don't know what caused recent surge of activity in my back yard, likely rain. We appreciate all the input and suggestions. All of the applied due diligence seems...

So looking at your photos, seems he did modify the camper extensively. Or FWC changed it around from '80 to '88. We went through a similar process in '14 through '18. If you buy a suitable utility bed, it could be a bolt on issue, so you could be going in April. If you go with flat bed...

Found this one.

We have an '88 FWC Keystone. Mounted a 70's utility bed onto a '93 Ford F-350 4 door 4x4, the camper fit in with simple modifications to the utility bed. It is a great vehicle. Goes anywhere. Only issue is the 460 gasser uses the fuel recklessly. I posted some limited build pics here 3-5...
