WM,
Thanks- but I think the input from others in these threads is what may make them likeable. The input from others in this thread had so many keys to success and seeds of equivalent benefit.

BH,
My theory somewhat aligns with yours. After reading the article on removing the back seat to allow more people in the rear of the cab, keeping the headrests gives the visual that the back seats are still in place. All just wild speculation on my part.
Thanks @GON, looking forward to it!
Are you sure you were north of 60? That would have put you past Manitoba's northern boundary, into Nunavut (perhaps still the NWT at that time).
Presuming you were up there in the summer (rather than ice fishing), you would have enjoyed lots of daylight with a very late sunset, and perhaps more mosquitoes etc. than you might have wished for.

N35,
We were a little north of Fort Hall, Manitoba. Maybe my memory is failing me, I was told (teenager- never validated what I was told) we were north of the 60th parallel.
Wow, I'd never even heard of Fort Hall! It is 59° 23' N, and appears to be the 2nd-most northern settlement in the province, behind only Nunela, and edging out the metropolis of Duck Lake Post (neither of which I'd heard of either).
The sun rose today (conveniently, the summer solstice) in Hall Lake at 0427, and will set this evening at 1106 for 18 hours and 33 minutes of daylight.
I was up at Flin Flon for work in 2011, Gillam in 2014, and was based in Snow Lake for a week in 2017. You've got me beat!
Still a teen in '81? I correctly figured you were still a young fellow (compared to me).
I'm still waiting for an update from GON. He's been strangely quiet for the last several days. I suppose he on his way to Taxas to pick up that grey truck bed. What a trip! Fly from Washington to Texas and then drive from Texas to Washington, then back to Texas and then back to Washington! And that's not including the side trips to pick up other parts. I hope that truck is comfortable!

FLA, spent the weekend with my Wife. Here is this morning update from Boise, id. Still not sure the color is a match. Stone Gray is a brown and very rare in a dually, and zero confidence I matched the color.

This is true^^^^
That’s surprising it’s that close to be honest. I filled up here in Alberta yesterday for $1.35 CAD a litre.
Exactly what I was thinking. Surprised someone in Texas didn't buy it??
My 01 150 has it also.

Color is a match. The bed I bought had zero options/ upgrades. So lots of wiring and moving stuff, but no big deal. The bigger issue is the truck I bought had the factory kingpin and fifth wheel option mounted to the frame. I want to keep that, so I will be drilling four openings in the replacement bed, along with hole for trailer wiring.
Removed the front cattle guard and rear bumper. The cattle guard was welded to the front bumper. Guess poorly made so weld was done for better stability.
The driver side rear bumper mount as a big bend. The rear bumper mounts to the 3" trailer hitch, so damage is limited to one bracket.
Will take off wheel wells shortly and maybe cut off the old bed, piece by piece. I want to do this at home because of tools, so this is a challenge as I have a homeowners association.
