Not complaining, but this truck in KO KO orange would have been great for all of use who have KO KO models. Will have to stick with my Chevy models. Lucky for me, I have six or so still in the box. Drove for them for about three years. GREAT GREAT company to work for.

Really think Stevie Wonder was working quality control these days.

Dumpster - you should know that Kokosing only runs Chevy! I don't think they have a Ford in their entire fleet! I have never seen one.
As far as QC goes - of course we will take care of any issues - there is no way to get perfect quality when you are running this many models. Considering the number of models shipped, we expect some issues and the number of issues has been very small!
But that is why you purchase from DHS and not some shady eBay seller - we stand behind the product!

Going by the Tailgate it is a 2011 or 2012 Model Year (Same tailgate for 2008-10 Super Duty As Well). In 2013 and later years Ford Tweaked the tailgate.

I do not know this for sure, but rumor has it that KOKO owns the Chevy dealership in Fredericktown. If this is true, this is the reason for no fix or repair daily in their operation.

Dumpster - that would make some sense then - not sure of the truth there, but I have never seen a Kokosing Ford - that is for sure.
Quin - and other reputable dealers selling on eBay - I need to apologize as there are numerous very good eBay sellers (including DHS). Just be sure to look at the feedback before you buy!!

My 2 arrived on Saturday. These are the first models I've pre-ordered in years, maybe ever. To Chuck and your staff, good job and thanks for bringing such nice pieces to us. My only regret is that I should have ordered more.

Mine arrived this morning so I brought them along to work with me and converted them to match the fleet. Overall I give them a thumbs up. Few things I would have liked to have seen done different, but they will make great support staff for the rest of the collection. Sorry not the best of pics, maybe more when I get them home.. Nicely done Chuck and all of DHS.. Now bring on some beam haulers... Brad

Oh my those look great in white with chrome! Wow! Nice job.
And dumpster I had heard that Kokosing had their own GM mechanics just to maintain their fleet, so that dealership could be theirs. I'll ask around
