Bought it! XLT 301A 4x4, 8 foot (8ft) bed box

[Bryan Simon]

I bet with that long wheelbase it rides like a dream

two reasons for the long bed.
1. Fifteen years of short beds did nothing but piss me off—nothing fits inside.
2. I started early with luxury cars. Predominately full size Chrysler Corp. from the 60’s and 70’s
Smooth ride is VERY important to me. And yes, this thing is a dream on the hiway. Firm but smooth.

I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous. My regular cab 8 ft bed is great but having even a tiny backseat would be welcome. Here's my solution. Hybrid tonneau that rolls from the back and folds from the front....if I order a supercab long bed I'll at least get to reuse it...

here are a couple of pics taken when new.
has had two years of commuting, so stuff has ended up in the back seat area.
I normally have the rear seats up so i can lay stuff on the floor
(right on top of the original floor mats still in the baggie)
payload is 2008.
The seat is all the way back in this pic.

This one below is after dropping the rear a bit.
Cant really recall if this is after the shackle only or a week later when I removed the 4x4 blocks as well. The 4x4 sticker has been removed (Ilive not too far from the border, so no need to advertise)
301A with these options:
Locking rear
36 gallon fuel tank
step boards
console
HDPP wheels
And I had trailer brakes installed after I took delivery.
Been a pretty good pickup so far, but I keep the old 98 k1500 around for the real dirty work. (still kind of attached to that thing)

That trunk is impressive. What sort of stuff are you hauling with it?
