I'm a long time reader of this forum and I have gained valuable info from the forum. Thanks to this community! I purchased a new Flippac last March and I have been meaning to post pictures on here for a while, well here we go. I went with no windows on the driver's side and a large window on the passenger side. I went with the standard slider for the front window. I did get the rainfly, which I have used once during a cold/windy night, no rain. Now for the good stuff, here are the pictures...

My dog and the beginning of my build. 5x5' box with two drawers.

Slam latches installed. When the drawers are pulled out like in the picture you can extend the box into a bed (just add your favorite pad) by placing 5/8'' x 18'' x 5' board on top of the drawers.

All geared up.

I used a rustoleum spray on liner to protect the top of the box, no pictures unfortunately. I ended up using 6 cans of the stuff. I should have just paid to have Linex put on it, oh well. Plans for the future include cargo neting on the driver's side and a bench seat near the front of the camper. I hope you enjoy!

Nice!
I like how the flippac hugs the shape of the Ford cab's rear window shape.
I'm envious of all that space and flip out bed!

The box probably weighs about 70-80 lbs, but its easily taken out by removing the drawers and then the base.
