Also I wanted to get some boxes built for under the bed and mud flaps installed before the camper is mounted. I looked into Adventure Trailers boxes which are really nice and look cool but they ultimately were way over what my budget could handle. A friend of mine has a fabrication shop in Grand Junction, Co. Named All Metals Fabrication, they have done numerous projects for me over the years and do quality work. Since I was going to be in G.J. for a couple of days on my way to Iowa to get the camper I made arrangements to drop off the truck and have the boxes and mud flaps built. I wanted to be able to remove the boxes without having to remove the camper which meant the boxes could not be bolted to the bed from the top. The boxes would make access to the bolts holding the leaf springs to the hangers impossible to get to so if I needed to service them it would be a lot of work to do so. They ended up welding L brackets to the bottom of the flatbed and bolted the boxes on their sides to the brackets. The boxes are mounted solidly and are easily removed. The mud flaps mount to the rear boxes.
