I’m looking for a picture of a Hawk model on a F150 with a 6.5’ bed. Anybody?

I'd love to see that too.

Not a great picture, it’s my friend’s truck.

There are pics on FWC's site...

I've had my Grandby shell for a bit now and am not super impressed with it. I give them a "meh" rating. Maybe it's because I have the shell model but frankly I'd much rather have my truck-bed back and just get a GFC or an AT Atlas - something simple that pops up with a bed. The FWC, as a shell, is overkill for what it amounts to.... A box with a pop up and a bed.

I read this entire tread two and a half years ago, great story, good info, thank you!

Convinced me to pull the trigger.

I flipped through this thread over the last several days. Really makes me miss my T100 even though the 3.0L was a dog.

Great photos and great writing KC.

If you can't find what you want, just build one, I am. Here's my never ending project.

How are you planning to deal with flex between the bed and cab?

Three options to deal with the flex.

1) I designed the shell to be cut between the front two ribs and install a rubber accordion trim. This is what most expedition trucks use.

2) I could stiffen the frame and do not cut the shell. The is only 3/8" flex when my Gladiator is maxed out. Jeeps have a pretty rigid frame, unlike other trucks, which are designed to flex.

3) I'm going to try a secret before I use the above options. I'll have to test it first and if it doesn't work go to option #1.

It will flex more when loaded.

It will flex more when loaded. I am surprised how stiff the Gladiator frame is in comparison to my Tundra and old Ford F150. I didn't measure the flex with those trucks, but you could easily see it when off road.
