Flatbed with integrated tow extension. Am in the process of building side boxes as well. It's made to handle a Bigfoot, hence the bolted on side retainer plates.

blue coyote is that a square body gm? you lost me on the hitch extension. why? highdesertranger

Yes - 90 TBI 454 4x4.
It has a 11.5 Bigfoot going on the flatbed. Truck is dedicated to the camper, never plan to use it seperatly.
Not a fan of the stinger extensions - this extension ties into the rear truck rails and flatbed rails. Very strong, multiple attachment point vs cantilevered off the hitch, zero movement. Will also serve as a support for the slide out rear "platform" when parked.

This is one of my fav flatbed truck pics. It's from somewhere down in Australia.....
I have the powerwagon pics from post #2 saved to my truck pr0n folder too. It is one sharp looking rig!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone- really wish I had kept it. She had ram assist and many other touches...

Snorkel was Aeroflow I believe, but I am traveling and cannot access the file right now, sorry.

More info on your snorkel if you could. Been looking for one for my 03' CTD.
They say it will work on the 5.9 Cummins. ... http://airflowamerica.com/?page_id=91

HOWEVER: they say ONLY for 5.7 Hemi: .... http://www.airflowsnorkels.com/details.php?id=11

If you consider the diameter of the tubing, you will quickly understand that there is no way it can flow enough air to keep a hard breathing 5.9 happy. If you never tow and your engine is stock, then it would probably be OK. I love snorkels (I have a Safari on my 80), but there is no way I would install that on my Gen 3 Ram 5.9. A correctly sized snorkel for a Cummins would be HUGE.
