Thank you for the detailed postings of your upgrades! I hope to pick up 1970 NCO, 8’ very similar to yours. Will probably do some,thing along the lines of what you have done. Very nice work!

Well, back on the forum after a bit of a hiatus. In my travels (work) I found an 8’ NCO in sou5western BC Canadá. Going to go and seal the deal in a few weeks, it looks like a decent one, and pretty easy on the pocket book at $2k Canadian. I will get some pics and info up on it when I have it on...

I would not be afraid of the aluminum body of the Ford pickups. I am an aircraft mechanic for my day job, and aircraft are held together with steel bolts holding aluminum structures, there can be dissimilar metals corrosion or "galvanic action" but with proper precautions, such as primer on any...

thanks so much thisoldcamper! That brochure is the exact info I was hoping to find!!

Does anyone know if the mid 70's CO's weigh in similar to the newer models? or are they kind of like the older NCO's and weigh a little less? I see a mid 70's 10' CO in my area for sale, and was wondering on the weight. Thanks in advance!

After conferring with Bryan at AK Camper, I am changing my request, as he said a cab over will ride better than a non. Looking for a decent 8' Alaskan cab over. Some work needed is ok, though I am not wanting to do a full restore at this time. Appliances not all working ok. Call or text Karson...

That 10' in your avatar pic is one nice looking camper! Thanks for all the sage advice and information. You guys are great!

thanks for the heads up Rusty! You must have been in and around these things for some time. I will keep my eye out for a good used one. I know when the time is right one will come up. There seem to be quite a few in the PNW. Depending on time, I may do the retrofits myself, or possibly take...

Thanks Rusty for the input on this question. I was forming the opinion that the NCO was possibly a little easier on the fuel economy from what I have been able to glean from the WWW as well. Your input goes right along with others who have made passing coments on the 2 style options. I think...

Can anyone speak to the differences in wind resistance going down the road of the C/O models vs NCO's?

Rusty, thanks for the link to the other thread. I read through it, and your cautions are noted. I looked up my GVW and Axle limits, Ford publishes the cargo cap of my rig at 1940 lbs. With Timbrens and E rated tires I should be able to safely go a little over that. I am going to look for an...

Excellent info, thank you very much Gents! I did get a reply on a query to Bryan Wheat on older NCO weights, from the factory he said that they were in the 1200-1500 lb range. Another question I have about the NCO's is sleep accomodations, How many adults? is it a 2 person afair? How do they...

Well done on that Camper! Nice mods too. Simple but yet very functional. I like it a lot! Do you have a weight on that thing after the mods? I have an F-150 (2008) and am thinking of an NCO for my truck. According to Bryan Wheat, the older NCO's are in the 1200-1500 lb range, which with a...

Hello all!, I have been lurking for several months, and have searched for info on NCO Alaskans (older ones). Can you who know, post on this thread the year, length, and approximate dry weight of your NCO Alaskan. This will help me zero in my search for a used option for my intended application...
