Narrowing an Older Keystone

[bajajoaquin]

I've got my Callen for sale, and I'm going to put on camper, probably used. I've come across a Four Wheel Keystone, but it's an '88 model, and the owner says it only fits the older, wide tailgates.

What's required to trim the camper to fit a Superduty? Is there something inside that won't allow that, or can it be relatively easily accomplished?

I know my friend had one not built for a super duty and he had to put it on a platform in order to clear the cab, ie the overhang would have hit the roof of the cab. It was however narrow enough, so I'm not sure on the width thing.

I agree, I think Superduties have a taller cab height than about everything else so you run into that problem. If you look at pics of our FWC, it was made for a SD originally and if you look, I have a very large gap between the cab and camper extension over the cab.

As for narrowing, there have been a few people who have done it (I think one or two have been posted up here on ExPo) but it's a major undertaking. The front wall frame has to be pulled apart to narrow the frame and the whole floor pack. If it's loaded inside, I think you have to pull just about everything out. I think the Keystone would be even harder because of the rear overhang.
