It’s a buyer’s market. I found a dealer that had a new 2008 Dodge Ram standard cab work truck. He gave me $13,000 off plus trade-in. It already has a bed liner and tow package on it and a CD player with I-Pod hook-up so I can listen to podcasts on the road. Get’s slightly better gas mileage than my Dakota did.
This next week I plan to order a camper shell for it, and I’m trying to decide on how I will build a storage box in the bed this time. Any ideas from you how-to guys? I want something more compact (not as high) than last time and will probably make it nice with drawers using a pocket hole jig.
BTW, Leer and Unicover both have a “fisherman package” shell that looks good. Any of you have one of these? Recommendations?
I’ll post photos later this summer when I get it fixed up.
Nice truck Scott – I’m green with envy !
Here’s a couple of things I was looking at in custom made drawers for the back of a ute.
You probably wont get anything made here in Oz, but they might give you some ideas.www.dsaphoto.com
A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
Recommendations?
Scott,
I’d highly recommend a Windoor-type side window for easy access. Also don’t forget the Rod racks.
Wish I was in Cotter, AR.
Ha Scott! Nice truck, great deal, and good for America!! 🙂
Looks like you are already enjoying it. I bet you can’t wait to get that new fish smell in it.
Enjoy
