    Default Northstar TC650 (extended cabover) on a supercrew

    Hey,

    Just wondering if anyone has a picture of a Northstar tc650 with the extended cabover option on an extended cab. I've a F150 super crew, and just wondering how far over the cab this will sit?

    I checked Northstar website, and the tc800 has alot of pics which give an idea, but does anyone have the setup mentioned above?

    Thanks

    Probably best just to call them and ask, I hear they are very helpful.
    From what I can tell, even with the extended cabover, the bed extends into the living area a small around (maybe a foot?).

    The cabover length is the same on both the 650 and 800, the floor length and center of gravity are different though.
    With a crew cab you will be about 10" more than my extended cab, so the camper edge will be close to even with your cab roof line.

    Not sure what you mean there. With either layout the bed starts at the cabover bend.

    All of the pictures I've seen show that the bed does extended into the living area 6-12". I mentioned that as a means of measuring. An 80" bed means that the cabover section is probably in the area of 68-74". A person should be able to measure that out on their truck and get a decent estimate, that's all.





    Here is a supercab with a Northstar on it. The cab on a supercrew (04+)
    is about 6" longer.

    I just ordered a NS 650 to go on my GMC 1500 crew cab. I saw one with the full wrap around on the short box and it looked great.
