I traded it in to Fastboats for the 39 Top Gun in the picture back in April. I believe that it went to the Carolinas after that and now it is for sale in the classifieds again.
It works really well. We have power in the cab as needed and we can run any kind of power tools or tailgating items out of the bed. Between the on board air and the power inverter, it will make changing a tire on the side of the road much easier.
It was made by a local company called Canvas Experts. They have made several of these covers for me over the years and they have all worked well.
To my own surprise there isn't any difference when towing. I was worried about the braking ability, but between the large factory brakes on the 450 and the trailer brakes, there is no difference at all. I am still using the factory rear springs, but we had to install a 3" block to level out the truck. Again to my surprise, there doesn't seem to be any axle wrap on acceleration. Overall I am extremely happy with the truck.

Why do you need a 50gal water tank? Got any recent pics? Really nice build Wil.
I may go with 19.5s for towing my toyhauler as I need to keep the trailer level, plus I want high mileage tires for travel.
