Truck camper on a chassis truck.

[Ed Heinlein]

I’d like to mount an Eagle Cap 1160 to a Ford F550 chassis truck. I was hoping that I might be able to use a utility truck bed, which would give me extra storage space as well. I thought I had found one that would work perfectly, but the bed is 9′ instead of 8′, which appears will shift the COG too far back. Has anyone already done this? If so, could you provide who manufactured the bed you are using? I’ve seen where there are some custom bed mfgrs. out there, but was hoping I might find a bed that will work, and be prefabed. Thanks in advance!!

I don’t have one, but wish I did. I’ve heard Douglas Truck Bodies or maybe it was Equipment mentioned. They’re out of OR or WA.
