This is my first post in the 6.7 forum, I just put my money down on a 2012 f-350 xl, 4wd, and I pick it up next week once the flatbed is on.
You're about to start seeing some stupid posts in this forum starting late next week. You've been warned.

 

Welcome aboard bodabdan... You'll love the 6.7's power and effiency.

 

Flat bed is on?

 

probably getting the no cargo box option

OP - welcome to the forum and post some pictures of your truck when you get it

 

It's a cab and chassis, but the dealer is sending it out to have the bed installed by a CM dealer.
Thanks for the welcome, and you can bet the pics are coming.

 

Thanks for the clarification - still working on getting the various configurations straight

 

To clarify a little further-
2012 Ford Super Duty F-350 DRW XL Chassis Regular Cab 4x4 Vernon, Texas | Vernon Auto Group

 

Congrats on the new truck. I know your probably like a kid at christmas right now.

 

Update for anyone who cares-
After talking to the truck bed dealer I have decided to go with a bed made by Armor Mfg.. Their Farmer Deluxe model is more along the lines of what I need. I was not familiar with them but anyone looking for a good bed should check them out.

I'm also getting a Ranch Hand Summit Bullnose front bumper with a Pierce 12.5K winch.

Majkthreads-Christmas is an understatement!

 

Haha, looks awesome! Good price too.. what are you gonna be using the truck for?

 

I know that I'm not supposed to reference politics here, but I can say that as a person who works in the oilfield, my future is now more secure if I have a vehicle that allows me to not only support my company's operations, but also to seek out other opportunities related to my past experiences as a mechanic in the event that my company's oilfield opportunities are diminished.
And I think it looks cool.

 

That is a wicked cool looking truck bed! Looking forward to the pics that are of the finished product.

that bed is AMAZING!! I'd put that on my personal pickup, just for kewl points.

 

Nice truck and bed...welcome to the 6.7 club!

 

Thanks guys, I thought the bed was awesome too, but I ran into a snag with it. It's gonna take me the better part of two days to run up there and get the truck, and I have a construction project kicking in next week.
The guy who sells the beds was not able to get me availability on it due to language issues. Apparently these beds are made in Mexico by German Mennennites. There is only one person there who can speak english and he was not available for a several day period.
If I didn't commit to something and get this truck now, it would be next year (after the project) before I could get the truck so I had to change my order and go with a CM bed (TM style). It's still a nice bed but not nearly as innovative as the Armor.
I finally got everything set in stone yesterday, made the wire transfers, and sealed the deal.
2 hours later I recieved an updated timeline on our construction project and now I would have had plenty of time to get the Armor bed.

After seeing the Armor bed though, I have a feeling that I will be duplicating some of it's feature into the CM bed as things progress.

If anyone is interested, the TM bed goes for $5675 installed, and the Armor was priced at about $7250 (couldn't ever confirm price/availability)
