Awesome Madison! Is that a special utility bed or one you can just order? Did you have to have a custom Alaskan to fit it? Can't wait for the couple to meet up!

The bed is a regular utility far as I reckon, but I asked Bryan @ Alaskan and he said they particularly liked the way AC fit with Skaug. Price was the same as others I checked, so I figured, let's do this right the first time. Not worrying about resale value definitely freed me up...can't help it...I get attached....

Re: carpet delete, I looked in the back seat of my Civic and noticed a tiny plant growing on the floor! Did I say I have a big dog who shakes IN the car? So yeah...carpet begone.

I think there's room for a few cigars in there somewhere

I can't wait to see it!

I too think the utility style body offers storage options you will appreciate down the line. "A place for everything, and everything in it's place". I think from the photo you have an 8' body so an 8' or 10' Alaskan would be fine since you bought "enough truck" for either! What have you decided to go with if I missed it....8 foot CO or 10 CO or a NCO?

[Moose Dog]

8 CO, nice clean line. I also can't really justify that heated seats are 'practical', but, well, maybe they are....yeah....

If anyone has questions about the byzantinium Ford option packages, feel free to holler. I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure that out and tweaking it to my liking. I do wish I could have gone sans chrome but they lump things together.

Picture doesn't do justice to how large these newer models are. It's a battleship!

Nope, jus a Cruiser... The Crew Cab 8’ bed is the Battleship.

WooHoo!

Cute ......(;-)

Now you'll need some led lights in those utility bays......you'd be surprised how dark they get when your trying to find something.....there should be an additional 12v plug coming off the trailer lanyard

Hey MD....what is the wheel base on that truck?

[Moose Dog]

Ooo another good idea, Rusty. I'm a big fan of headlamps...but then I forget the 'obvious place' where I put them!

 

Wheel base is 164.2". And it's so high up I have said it's like sitting in a hot air balloon, nice touch HappyJax
