why in todays ago of way better looking led light options do they still use 1970's taillights ? ? ? such a clean looking truck then BAM 1970's hits you with the lower ICC bumper lights . . .

Had to go back and find where they showed them. I agree they totally screwed the pooch there. Could've went to any Peterbilt dealer and found some sweet options for LED lights. Almost seems like they just kept the ones they ship them with when there's no bed on the chassis.why in todays ago of way better looking led light options do they still use 1970's taillights ? ? ? such a clean looking truck then BAM 1970's hits you with the lower ICC bumper lights . . .
There's no reason for those lights since the bed has them.
It looks cool but that bed is so high it's basically useless.
I wonder if they'll ever offer it with a higher trim package. Not that I can afford any of them but both ford and dodge offer their top of the line interior's on their HDs.

Yeah the bed height reminds me of the international cxt. Look those up if you haven't seen one. I am pretty sure one of the review videos I watched said they are available in all trim levels.
I remember the cxt, another rig that was cool but beyond impractical.
It would be pretty lame if they didn't offer the upper trim level.

Always thought the topkicks and Kodiaks looked badass with beds on them. Pointless as hell. I always like the look of the western haulers.
Back when I worked at Monroe truck ( builder of ironhide) we had those western haulers and pick up bed 2 tons laying everywhere.

Yeah that second video with the western hauler bed is a good practical truck to get used. These new ones look way more proportional with the body and 4 wheel drive and everything than the older early 2000s topkicks. They always looked like they needed bigger tires. My wife's cousin had one and you couldn't go bigger or it pushed them too tall for towing a fifth wheel even with a flatbed.

That's when you raise the trailer to match haha.
Then again, most newer toyhaulers are up at max height legally from the factory.

The bare center section is Dana Spicer 10055852. Uses 4" axle tubes.

Maybe I’ve just been out of the game for a while, but for a new bare center section, that seems pretty reasonable to build a badass axle.
Pretty sure that housing takes the new bigger short 28 spline pinion instead of the 29 spline pinion that we are used to seeing.
Its definitely the 256mm. Says it fits the old ring and pinion too in the description. No clue how that works.
I saw that but I don't think that it is right. I think around 2017 they swapped to the 28 spline pinion. 256mm (10") ring and pinion will fit into any of the older 29 spline high pinion Dana 60 housings except a few aftermarket high clearance housing. However the 28 spline and 29 spline housings are different.
Can anyone on here look up a part number for a front ring and pinion by VIN number?

A kodiak high pinion passenger drop 70f section was about the same. Very reasonable
28 spline 1410 yoke and a 1350 29 spline.
That was my thoughts exactly. I figured the cost would be at least double that.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3039728589469390 Not too bad of a price compared to regular pickups. It is only a 1WT trim package but still nice.
For a work truck it's perfect. But if I was buying that to be a towter for a big rv. I'd want the higher trim package with the better seats. Actually I just want the better seats 
. Good heated full power seats have raised in priority as I've gotten older.
