Contractor grade concept
Check the link out:SEMA 2009: Ford, DeWalt team up for Super Duty Contractor Concept
After Ford introduced its heavily upgraded 2011 Super Duty trucks earlier this year at the State Fair of Texas auto show, it was only a matter of time before the Michigan automaker unveiled a commercial-grade concept.

Designed to illustrate ways in which the Super Duty can benefit commercial consumers, the concept features a number of upgrades designed in conjunction with tool manufacturer DeWalt.
Based on a 2011 F350 XLT Crew Cab with a 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8, the four-wheel-drive truck has a SkyJacker 2.5-inch lift kit, Nitto Terra Grappler tires wrapping 22-inch American Force Trigger Wheels and, of course, a DeWalt-special yellow paint job.
Functional upgrades start with Ford’s Work Solutions computer system, which, among other features, helps users keep track of tools and fleet vehicles. Unique interior storage pieces designed by Work Gear Storage add to the useful appeal.
A Knapheide custom service body takes the place of a traditional bed. Articulating gull-wing-style doors with LED lights make it a veritable Swiss Army Knife on wheels, while a Warn winch can lift up to 770 lbs. into the Durabed-lined cargo bay. A live PTO hook up with hydraulic connections at the front and rear of the truck would help owners with pretty much any task imaginable.

If it has over 49" between the bed walls and 97" length then that is cool! Store all the tools and have room for the sheet goods in the middle! If I could afford it I would buy a truck like that as long as it wasn't that color.

That is a nice rig.
For the last few years there's been another promo going using the F-350 but this year they've outfitted a Dodge...
