That set up is cherry. A real truck, with a real engine, with a real camper on a real bed. Excellent work!

[@OttoEx]

Thanks for that! Appreciate it

[@Hobotraveler82]

That setup is so cool. The ultimate Overland vehicle. 😊

[@mikes.4136]

Every detail of this truck is clean and simple. This somewhat spartan appearance lends itself to its beauty. The owner’s fidelity to keeping it original and sourcing all time-period, consistent parts, is quite a feat.

[@OttoEx]

We totally agree!

[@portnuefflyer]

I had a Knapheide bed on a little Toyota work truck, super handy for work, and also good when getting groceries! A no brainer for a rig hauling a camper.

[@MrTommy001]

I had a 97 F-350 with a Stahl curved utility bed. Had that truck for 20 years and loved it. Even after doing numerous Banks Power upgrades though, it just wasn't up to towing our 2012 Arctic Fox 25Y. The drum brakes on the rear contributed to my finally upgrading to a 2016 F-350 (in 2018). But I sure do miss that old 97! No DEF, no REGEN, and no DPF. Sigh.

[@Sedona-Faise]

Had this in the Chevrolet version from Alaskan factory built and was hands down the best exploring setup ever.

[@markfierke8565]

Zip ties and bias plies would love this ole sweetheart

[@vertstang123]

That is as serious an expedition vehicle as you would find back in the day. That camper was state of the are when it was new.

[@aydengiffen1943]

Hell ya bro, love the set up, the shop bed and the camper actually go really well together

[@captainvlad]

The 7.3 idi really don't quit. I picked a E350 cab and chassis that was sitting in the middle of nowhere for $500 and the damn thing just needed new battery's and some starter fluid. the cab's totaled but I'm lookin to do a swap soon

[@billramsey7455]

I have a 94, just like it without the camper, of course , and I love it.

[@deepbludude4697]

Nice rig, Ive got an 89 F250 IDI 5 speed I love the truck only has 84K miles on it will last me the rest of my life.

[@AG-rk5hj]

Your great grandkids will be driving that IDI

[@LocalsOnky-06]

awesome truck. I would swap a LSD C5 Diff into the truck, so you have LSD. as well as swap the ugly radio out for a later series stock radio that looked much better. The camper is so sick!

[@ShouldersMoondog549]

Now that is a really nice truck!! Very clean for it's age!! Oh, this is referred as a "SuperCab" not an extra cab.. Must be a pretty new/rebulit utility bed! No rust!! Nice camper!!

[@mymomsoldlandcruiser7220]

I just saw this same set up 2 weeks ago it was so nice inside.

[@drewmax-kl4oy]

I had a work truck with the 7.3 idi turbo. Thing was a beast. I had the best experience working with it. Now i drive a 6.6L gas engine truck. Its not the same :'( i miss the ole clatterbox and the tractor engine diesel smell. Had close to a million and ran good. Someone didnt quite top off the oil before the work day causing the motor to go.

[@jamietetrault4517]

Looks like it should be showcased at mecum auto auctions..sweet..

[@Gregs80Z]

That is the real deal!! Awesome

[@MelRichardson-d8o]

What a beautiful set up love it that's something you could live in and your in

I have a 1995 7.3 and I love it, but this one is IMPRESSIVE. Good work. Subscribed.

[@OttoEx]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@edwardboyer7102]

Beautiful battle ax maintaining it not to bad either

[@tengu190]

My favorite Ford is a 2010 F-350 single rear axle 3V V10 Crew Cab Long Bed.

[@bradjenkins932]

LOL

[@robertjosan]

i always heard that the aspirated engines have greater longevity than the turbo version, no?

[@Brian-os9qj]

Windshield crack passenger side visible . Otherwise a clean rig and usable to great adventure I am sure.

[@blackfish7163]

awesome rig, great walkthrough!

I don’t know about that elderly driven my grandpa is 75 and still smokes his BFG on his 1963 SS impala and has a prerunner ranger he takes to the dunes

[@danp6897]

Between the extra weight of the service bed and the camper I am 1000% confident this rig is over its gvwr.

[@jbj27406]

Needs dual rear wheels.

[@skylermummert24]

@@jbj27406there’s no dually f250

[@jbj27406]

@@skylermummert24 I realize that, but it still needs dual rear wheels. My '96 Dodge Cummins 2500 HD started out as SRW. In that year, you could only get a 3500 with DRW's--there were no single rear wheel 3500's. So they offered a heavy duty 2500, which is what mine is. I added factory front and rear sway bars with polyurethane bushing, larger rear brake cylinders, air bags from Firestone, and converted the truck to dual rear wheels with available well engineered kits. It would be pretty simple to put duals on the back of this camper and it makes a HELLUVA difference. It might not have come that way, but you can make it that way. Mine is a completely different truck with DRW's.

[@JeffBezis-my7bn]

calling that special might be a stretch but it is cool.

[@asdfasdf-fg5kx]

here's a video idea for ya: while its raining hard raise the top. i'd get a kick out of seeing that camper bed get soaked.😂

[@aarontimm]

Yes, the windshield does have a crack on the passenger side

Yes it is

[@catecalvertarriola3986]

Wait'll this guy, or anyone else for that matter, take this camper into -40 below weather. This so-called camper shell will freeze up like a big block of ice. You'll have to wait for early summer before it thaws out. 😂 👍

[@flamedeep2073]

Tell us you know nothing about these campers without telling us you know nothing about them.....

[@PaulCrawhorn]

What the parking heater is for

[@crazywisdom2]

I sub'd !!~

[@kingterry6045]

Sleeping in a similar setup was a nightmare for anything even remotely hovering around freezing. Needed thicker walls, better windows, an actual stove inside somewhere, still made it through the months but a camper with just a stove in it was a thousand fold better. Turning on the truck was not an option for heat as you'd find yourself driving down the mountain everyday for gas and it isn't worth it, no you're not packing enough fuel to heat that thing all night every night.

[@GuessWho9411]

Does the engine have a block heater for cold winter starting? No air conditioning in the camper for hot days?

[@OttoEx]

Yes, the engine has a factory block heater. No AC in the camper

[@StephenShreds]

Sometimes you just gotta raw dawg life dude. Don’t always need these creature comforts

[@MrDmjay]

They had balls back then. You should grow some😅

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

My camper doesn't have AC. Either don't camp in a heat wave or tough it out like us old times did and still do.

[@WildcatScience]

How much?

[@jameswalstrom2433]

Cool but I only clicked on to see ya lift the camper... And that didn't happen 😐

[@reidcrosby6241]

It would be better with a 300 six , shaved head, and turboed , AND a ZF5. Then ypu have a dependable winter camping rig to go with the "Alaskan"

[@bradjenkins932]

Not

[@wbwilliam4034]

Where is toilet and shower I owned several of there 30 years ago no restored. Most will not like no shower no toilet but newer ones have pull out toilet w tank. But no shower. Alaskan lost it for a 55000 camper. I sold them all. Need small shower toilet area. Mine all had small bottle jack to lift top. Hard to jack off truck withside jacks not safe.

[@FenderBender503]

Its E4OD, not E40D. OD, for Over Drive

[@catecalvertarriola3986]

This all metal camper is better suited for warm weather states like Arizona, Florida, etc. So what's "Alaskan" about this camper? 😅

[@wigit2216]

its lightweight, low profile ad durable which is much better for rural mountain camping. its also certainly better than the vast majority of canvas pop up campers in the winter. a good blend of durability while not being 6ft higher than the cab like other "winter" campers.

[@skullmecca8492]

@@catecalvertarriola3986 the company that makes the camper is called Alaskan lol it's not specifically made for Alaska

[@PrestonGladd]

You want $40k for this? That’s about $15,000 more than it’s worth. For $40K you can buy a newer Alaskan camper and truck that won’t break down and is in this decade.

[@okieengineer8530]

You are doing “man math”

@ not sure what that is, I just checked Facebook marketplace and found way better deals. Pretty simple really.

This isn't an Alaska camper. It's an ANY state camper. If this guy happens to be in Alaska, that's one thing, but to say it's an Alaska thingy is too funny. I don't like ppl who make claims using Alaska to make a buck. 😠
