Hi, My wife and I have been looking for an affordable flatbed Four Wheel camper for a while. Your rig is amazing! Any chance you are coming back towards Denver? I don't have any connections up your way to have someone check it out for us.
Thanks, Bob

No Denver plans for me, as of right now at least. Whitefish has a bunch of non-stop flight options around the country so I’m gonna sell it from here

My buddy who co-owns Baker Garage in Denver did a bunch of the work on the truck and could speak to it. They do a bit of UJoint 4x4 conversions type work

Would you consider a full or partial trade for a 1984 AM General M923 5 Ton 6x6 Military truck in good condition with less that 10k miles and a brand new engine?

Hello hello! This truck is currently in Denver, Colorado.

1995 F350 4x4, extended cab, 7.3L turbo diesel w/ 1988 Grandby Pop up and Alumline flat bed

Price
: $33,000

A bit wild to post this for sale but it's time for a new adventure. My beloved 1995 *F350* 7.3L turbo diesel is looking for a new home (F250 by VIN, but it's an F350 now in practice)

Between 1994.5 and 1997 Ford didn't make the F350 in extended cab, it was only available in single cab or 4 door. So I dropped a Dana D60 solid front axle from a 1996 F350 and made the truck Ford didn't. This is a very common swap in the OBS world (Old Body Style).

Everything of importance between the F250 and F350 of that generation was just the same, so the D60 can bolt right in without modification. The only difference between the two of that generation was the F350 did have taller rear blocks and one extra leaf pack.

At the time of the swap I moved to 2002 F350 leaf springs, which is a much improved design and gave the truck a WAY nicer ride. I used the Sky Offroad kit: https://www.skysoffroaddesign.com, also that time I was had the knuckle machined by Sky Offroad for cross over steering and this fixed any issues there.


I don't say this lightly: Literally everything has been done to this truck that you would want done.

What it might could use:

- Bands on the camper tent fabric that pull it inward when you close it

- Windshield has a round chip that hasn't spread. It's blocked by the rear view mirror so you can't see it


Camper:

- Sleeps two adult friends really nicely with their own space. One on the top bunk and one on the lower side. You could also flip the top bunk back up and make the full side bed back, that is a built in permeant feature (maybe also true on newer campers, haven't seen one in person.

- Furnace, I've camped in the winter no problem

- Sink with water tank (I just use it for washing pans)

- Power roof exhaust fan

- Dual burner stove

- Newer 12v Dometic CRX50 Fridge: https://www.dometic....-crx-50-_-30983

- 300 watts of solar

- Dual Full River deep cycle batteries

- Top bunk is an air mattress. Way more comfy than the stock foam AND you just deflate in place and leave it. I use a 12v pump to fill it up for sleeping, takes 30 seconds?

- 4 USB ports w/ 12v sockets (for bottom and top sleeping spaces)



The camper is functional and everything works but it's also from 1988, meaning it's well used and is vintage but everything does works and is 100% fine to keep using and enjoying as is. You could also restore and make it even nicer. Simply setting expectations.

Paint on the truck itself looks good but does have usage, like rock chips and pin stripping from tighter trails. I would call it "Looks good but you're also not scared to use the truck"
Hey! Is this still available and if so, where is it located?
