So in my quest for versatility with the truck and camper I explored where people mounted the slide in camper on a flatbed. This allows 24" x 24" x72" of storage along the front portion of flatbed under the sides of the camper.

Such as this setup:

So went on a search finding a dealer with a stack of beds been sitting 2 yrs. Ending up getting this setup $3k off the $6500 MSRP for new 2020 units after the aluminum tariffs kicked in. $3600 installed. CM AL-SK flatbed 8'6" x 97" x 58 x 42
4 under bed storage cabinets and skirted all around. Has 26k B&W gooseneck built in and 14.5k B&W rear bumper pull hitch all integrated in a steel frame under aluminum body.

Now to mount my camper and storage solution.
Damn Colorado trip coming up fast!
I like that solution much better! But I wish I had known. My buddy is wanting to take the flat bed off his truck and put on the regular bed. Y’all could have prolly just swapped.

It fits no problem. Will do pictures, already have 8ft ramps to load it. Got to finish my camper attachments solution.
Must be over 8 ft bed? If I remember right it needs to be about 8’6” to get ramps out from under the 1000 or ramp mount under the bed.
That’ll be a damn nice setup, be nice to not need trailer for a day ride somewhere else. I like it!

That's a hell of a deal. I thought you already had a flat bed...

If your buddy has a 2017+ dually Super Duty with 179" wheelbase my bed will fit and would consider selling it.

I really like your set up. It looks very sharp, you did a nice job

Thanks, with the Torklift fast gun mounting brackets I can be completely disconnected from camper and free within 5 minutes, of which 3 of those just waiting on jack's to extend fully.

Interesting comment, why do you say that? I have only replaced a fuel pump with a FUBAR design by BOSCH. A steel piston in a magnesium cylinder and housing, but it did pump over 23,000 gallons of biodiesel before it s*** the bed.

Had I been allowed to run regular #2 diesel with proper lubricity may not have failed. Thanks Obama
By no means was I trying to be offensive, just was filling in neoohio. Case he missed it. I'm scared myself of what you went through. Since I believe we have the same pump.

I was being a smartass. Because everyone says Cummins or nothing right?
I have always been impressed with his truck. The mileage he has put on it speaks volumes of what the 6.7 is capable of in stock form.

For what’s its worth, I had 225k on my 08’ 6.4 before I sold it for the new 15’ platinum. It was still going strong at the time, and 285k on my 95’ 7.3 before that . I just wanted my 8’ bed back and a few more amenities.

I agree. He uses it what a diesel is made for. Never working them is hard on them. Mine has 38,000 and 29,000 has had a trailer behind it. Computer keeps track. Pretty cool.
