Bartamos,

Just as I mentioned in the OP, I have a dually 1 ton. The Apache 3800. Right now it does not have a bed. I'm sure you know what those trucks look like, but you asked what I wanted so I posted some pictures of trucks I've seen that I like. I've created a photo bucket account if you want to see my truck.

I want it to be 3/4 or 1 ton, 4x4 with disc brakes, haul a load, pull a camper or 5th wheel, get through the occasional snow fall and navigate the occasional Forest Service road. The question is whether or not to: switch chassis, or just front axle, or just front and rear axles and use stock frame. I love the truck as it sits now, I just want a couple more bells and whistles, i.e. a little more versatility.
