I deleted the stack, it was layed out in the beginning for that option. The tool kit is a three drawer Craftsman 1/4"-1/2" drive in stretched ammo can.
Dang man! I knew your truck was cool, but I had no idea it was so purposefully built and so beautifully executed!!!

The boxes will get hinges and latches. It takes about 2 minutes to unbolt them from the uni-strut. The bed of the truck is designed to be universal.

Thanks
Dang! Just when I was going to say I liked the stack you went and deleted it. I see you are running the VE rotary pump and not the inline like "everyone" thinks you need to.

The original plan was to lay the spare tire between the shock hoops and fenders, one thing led to another and I won a Yeti 65 at an Employee Appreciation party. A yeti 65 is King like a steering shaft through a shock tower and bumpstops area. with a two foot step ladder, tailgate down and the yetti lid it's like a stairs getting to the center top cargo box. Availability overrules need when it comes to injection pumps. The VE will easily put out 250ish with the right amount of boost, air cooler and tuning.

The stack is universal depending on the task, when camping if it dosent get covered and it rains black crap comes out of it all over stuff. around the shop moving trailers, in the woods the stack works better.

Camping at dunfest 17 by myself, I took the back seat out and slept in the cab.
I'd love to do a cool functional flatbed on my f350 with the cummins in it but my issue is always that I have to be able to tow my fifth wheel trailer or occasionally a gooseneck. I have a VE pump on my 6B and it runs great, not a dyno killing horsepower machine but gets good mpg's and power for towing and good fuel economy. You definitely have a cool truck.
Yeah same here! Glad I didn’t see this before I started building my bed! I’d never be able to afford to finish it! Haha! This has a lot of the stuff I wanted to do to mine with storage and the airbags but I gave up on them because I couldn’t figure out how to do it. Can you give some more details on the bag setup? I thought about long travel bags, and then I thought about having them free on the top of the bag with a pad on the frame but I didn’t think it would work. Now seeing how yours is set up it is definitely going to happen. Wish I would have left the gooseneck hitch in it now...
Those are these http://timbren.com/ Fancy looking bumpstops that are actually rubber springs. International runs them on a lot of there medium duty trucks. They basically ride on them all the time as a supplemental spring. Summit Racing has them I think.

Yeah I made the timbren overloads ajustable so they kinda half ass multi task, They work okay just little noisy when close to the axle.

I used all thread to get the shape of the cross member then took it to the bender to pull center and duplicate. After about 8000 miles the 32 spline shafts between the NV4500 and 205 striped. Probably never know but Maybe because the input shaft on the 205 was used and the output on NV4500 was new. The second time bolting the two together the aluminum tail housing cracked, the gap couldn't of been thicker than a gasket. With a little tech support from Stephen I found that the bolts on front of the 205 hit the inside of the tail housing just a wisker, allways wanted a cast iron tail housing for the NV4500. Yeah that's a GM diesel damper on the NV4500 output shaft.
