Previously I had posted pics of our 450 with the air suspension my wife and I installed. We now have the body installed. It was built by the Utility Bodywerks of Elkhart IN. of 3/16 aluminum. The craftsmanship is outstanding, with lots of storage and a completely usable bed. The nice thing is that there are no concerns about bed rail clearance. The paint on the body matches the cab perfectly. The Caribou is the least chosen color, but goes nicely with the RV.

Attempted to post pics, but we have a poor internet connection, and Saturday is probably not a good time to do that. I'll try another time.

 

Sounds awesome! Can't wait to see the pics!

 

I'll try to post pics again. This is a most frustrating issue, sometimes works fine and sometimes not. Supposed to be broadband, but performance is very limited. Try #3. gave up after taking 20 minutes to load one pic. another tomorrow maybe. The nice thing about the body is all the storage and we don't have to worry about bedrail clearance either. Maybe I already said that. Used one of the compartments for the air compressor, still have space for air hose, chuck, etc.

 

Very nice.

 

Wow wow wow nice!
What gear ratio did you go with and what are you towing with it

 

Great looking rig! I can certainly see why you're happy with it.

Is that twin fuel tanks or did they separate the DEF and fuel fill doors? That'd be kinda nice too.

 

Nice! That is one sweet looking tow rig!

 

That is gorgeous looking. Looks like they managed to build a ton of storage space in there as well for you.

 

That is the body style that I want. But Ford does not offer the SuperCab on the 450.
How did you order that cab style?

 

It's a cab and chassis you can get them regular cab super cab or crew cab that's why he is added the custom box on the back

 

I just visited the ChassisCab website, now I understand.

2017 Ford Chassis Cab - Build & Price

 

That is a GORGEOUS hauler but doesn't that give you the detuned version of the 6.7?

 

Yeah its detuned. You know had a 2011 duramax cab chassis and at that time they detuned their cab chassis trucks. It pulled fine, never lacked for power.

 

WOW, the best part of all is hidden from view, that beautiful suspension! Don't get me wrong, the body is amazing but that suspension . . .

 

[QUOTE=4.10 ratio, we are not towing that heavy, 12K max on RV trailer and 10K on cargo trailer.
