I agree with Bayou Boys idea. F450 flatbed build will prove it.

I have mine setting up above the receiver hitch. That way you can se the ball. It will not work right in the bumper. My bumper per se is 16 inches high.

I like your idea. I will follow this thread. Good luck.

A Lance 830 or the bigger 1040 has twice the floor space as any nonslide out there. We camp with 6 adults in the 1040 without any problems. Try to put 6 adults in any camper and see how they fit.

If there is good equipment in the camper. Take it out and build the right size from scratch. tearing out and rebuilding is twice as hard and time consuming then building right the first time.

I have been working on the new bed. But I have hit a slight snag. The rear backup camera. As in where and how to mount it. I will say that it is by far the best quality picture that I have seen. I know that I have to mount it on the back bumper area. But it need protection from abusive...

Sir: May I say that I am on my second expedition rig that is very similar to yours. I have had dually on both rigs as well as all of my work trucks have dually also. I would stick with what works. Duallys. I have never in all my years with duallys had a rock or stick stuck between the tires...

I would stay away from the Ford 6.4 Diesel. Do a search of 6.4 recalls. I just got rid or mine. With 46K the shop had it more then I did in the last 8 months.

I am right now putting a flatbed and aluminum boxes on my new Dodge 4500. After years of using a Stahl tool bed. My wife will not let me buy a truck with a factory bed on it. But All the boxes were $4000.00 $400 for the tread plate. $400 for the structural steel. But it will fit my Lance...

That is a great looking bumper. I do appreciate the workmanship put into a bumper like that. But I could probably not be able to afford a bumper like that. By the way, I have a fence company also. We are in Louisiana. How do the headlights do with all of the pipe around them?

Wire nut.. The Ford had a 6.4 diesel. In the last 8 months that I had it it broke down on 3 different trips. It was in the shop 45 days during that time trying to get everything straight. It was not dependable. If you do a Google search for 6.4 ford defects you can see what I am talking...

I look at Torklift as I have the derringers but did not see the add on spring tensioners. I will try Happijack. Thanks.

I am in the process of building a new flatbed on a Doge 4500. This will be a similar setup to the Ford F450 Flatbed build that I did in 2008. The biggest mistake that I made the first time, was cutting holes in the boxes to allow the tiedowns to be hidden. And soak everything in those boxes...

I picked up the truck today. So far no surprises Except that the bed rail is 4 inches longer then the Ford..

I just received an Email from Dodge that my truck is finished and in transit to Louisiana. It should be at the dealers in two weeks. I went with another 4500 with the 200 inch wheel base like the Ford.4 X 4 crew cab. Diesel Cab and chassis. This one will come with a back up camera. On this...

I took the truck back to the dealer that sold it to me. I spoke directly to the service manager. He admitted to cooling issues on the trucks.. I am giving them one more time and one more trip to Mexico before I decide to sell. My wife wants to be rid of it right now. But I have so much time...

I had the same problem with my bed. Why not reinforce the al bed from underneath with steel. And put a flush mount tiedown. whereever it needs to be. And when you do not have the camper on, the tiedown is recessed.

I other post I too was an AirForce Brat from 68 to 71. We lived off base in Chibana Houseing. Between the rock Quarry and the driving school. We had the walk to school at Kadena through the side gate that was only there for us kids to go to school. For fun my dad would take us to the K9...
