Just read the article. It closes with a new Dodge Duelly 4 x 4 with what looks like a 6.5 ft bed. Is anyone still producing 8' bed trucks?

Well, the F250 and F350 Fords are still available with 8' beds. I'm not at all familiar with GMC and Ram products, I'm afraid.

Interesting. A lot of wood in those campers and a lot of "kids" working on them... not that kids can't do the work it just seems strange to me.

Can say that again. There's no hiding it in those pics.

Clocks on the wall but no calendars Are they really built the same now as way back then. Not sure that's 100% fair.

Seriously, good for them. Looks like they are really expanding.

Yep. GMC/Chevrolet, Ford, Ram, Nissan, & Toyota.
