    Service/Utility Bodies

    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...

    pivoting frames and mounting campers

    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...

    80’s FWC Keystone

    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.

    80’s FWC Keystone

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

    F-350 Rats under the hood

    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...

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

    F-350 Rats under the hood

    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.

    80’s FWC Keystone

    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...

    F-350 Rats under the hood

    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...

    80’s FWC Keystone

    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...

    80’s FWC Keystone

    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...

    F-350 Rats under the hood

    A note about poison. My mechanic tells a story about a rat got into the heater core area and died. They couldn't get it all out. Stunk so bad truck was close to unusable. Poison kills them, they crawl somewhere and die. Stinks like hell. Learned that doing apartment maintenance years ago...

    F-350 Rats under the hood

    Thanks to all. I sent away for Rataway. Will apply that. Also dryer sheets were mentioned here. We had those. They worked well for the 2 nights since. Bought a box, threw it in the camper tool box. Seems given my situation of storage, this will be regular due diligence. I will let you...

    F-350 Rats under the hood

    Hello all. I come to you again with questions I hope you have experience with. My camper is stored on the side of my house. Neighbor on that side is a slob with the yard. Hence, rats visit under the hood of the camper. No major problems yet. I set some traps and pulled out some dead rats...

    A very nice built FWC on Ford super duty.

    I have a utility bed camper w/FWC shell. I contributed to various threads on here. Including this one. The combo of the slide-in with utility bed is very handy. We don't use it as much as we would like just because my work is different than it was. But when we do it functions beautifully.
