The time has come for me to part with this one of a kind Four Wheel Pop Up Camper Scout model that has been restored to fit the 1976-1980, 118 inch wheelbase International Harvester Scout Terra I bought this unit in 2010 and spent six months on the restoration, modifying it to function as a...

Hello friends, All things must come to an end, and I am currently selling this camper on Ebay. Thanks again for all the help and support with the project. It is a cool unit. Below are a few final shots for the thread. I hope the Four Wheel Camper team doesn't mind that I recreated the old...

The interior has come a long ways over the past few weeks. I traveled around to all of Missoula’s flooring stores and looked at their remnant linoleum and carpet supplies. After sorting through my options, I picked up a piece of each and spent a day installing it all. Finished edges... I...

Bob, Take some pics and post em for folks to see. Sounds like a great find. Joel

I have been working overtime on the camper recently to get her ready for hunting season. My Dad and I removed the camper in the middle of August so we could protect the wood tub from moisture. We applied three coats of Glidden polyurethane porch and floor paint. It is slow to dry, but ends up...

Here is a question. My old (1982) FWC has screens that will keep out the skeeters, but the mesh is no match for noseeums. Do the newer ones have a finer mesh or are you still in trouble when you get into tiny bug country?

Fair enough, but given the mounting placement of the gas struts, it doesn't look easy to mount screens over the big side wing openings. They would most likely have to be on the little sliding windows. I'm sure you could put something up, but that thing wouldn't be as practical as it looks for...

Just don't go camping where there are bugs... Mosquito's would kill you in that thing.

The birch cabinets and wood paneling have neared completion. I replaced the insulation. Noticed the piece of C channel that runs all the way to the back of the camper to provide added support to the overhang bed area in the front that no longer bolts to the windshield frame. After cutting...

One of the ugliest parts of this truck from the outside was the rear. While the sides seem to have escaped damage over the past 30 years, the back end got all the abuse. Someone had backed into something and torn a couple panels on the driver's side. Many panels in the rear were dinged at...

thanks, Stan.

Does anyone know if I can still find a direct replacement for the external greywater drain fitting that was installed in all the old Four Wheel Campers? I've done some looking over the internet and haven't been able to find one. I'd prefer to stick with the original design. Any help is...

Significant additional progress has been made on the Scout Camper. We cut and installed a new wood panel for the cabover bed area that hangs over the cab. There wasn't much left of the original piece… The cabover bed area originally bolted to the Scout windshield frame and I was...

Quick update - parts are coming together. New aluminum sheeting in original style has arrived that will be used for the outside of the front wall (that's a piece of dead grass in the photo, not a scratch). I also found a vintage aluminum sliding window for the front wall. It is nearly...

I have an SD33T in mine.... It's pretty good on fuel usage and for gravel roads, but is wholly underpowered for the Montana highway system and 75mph speed limits everywhere. Engine noise at 65-70 is killing me. I was planning a SD33T buildup using Australian pistons, intercooler and all...

Hi All, I am trying to determine the best material for waterproofing the exterior slide in portion of my Four Wheel Camper. The bottom sides of my camper are made with ACX plywood. What do you suggest as a protective coating? I see that some folks like Durabak. How well does this adhere to...

Well, thanks to a little time off work combined with help from my brother in-law Mike, my Dad, and friend Aaron, the Scout Four Wheel Pop Up Camper has undergone a good chunk the rebuild. As I've said previously, the camper was originally designed to fit on a 100 inch wheelbase Scout II and...

Very helpful, Silverscout. Thank you. You have confirmed the way an original and in-tact scout camper was built inside the tub... just as I thought - no walls below the bed rails. I had a foggy memory based on an intact 77 I used to own. On a different note, I looked over an older Six Pack...

I would also have to remove or install the pickup top and bulkhead, which are secured by 28 bolts in addition to the four over the windshield. Further, the camper is structurally weak when out of the truck because it currently relies on the bedrails for much of its strength – it really...
