The bed is going to look similar to the back of the trailers that I build (pics in profile) it will have Rumber decking, lift off above bed tool boxes.under-bed box's, a winch up front. a B&W Turnover Ball (Flat Bed Mount), winch poles that can be hidden under the bed, a tail roll and a winch up front..

I went with a Sterling as there are currently no 45/5500 dealers between Denver and Salt-Lake and the nearest town Grand Junction(100 miles) has a Sterling dealership, from what the dealer told me is that they under estimated how well these would sell and if you don't find a 4x4 on the lot you will have to wait for the 09's to come out this fall to get one..

Congrats on the new truck.

I think it's safe to say that they grossly underestimated the popularity of these trucks. I read an article before they were released and Dodge was estimating sales between 10 and 20K...
