    What would you keep 4x4 7.3 Box Truck or C4500 2wd Ambulance?

    I would keep the ford, gm stopped building the c4500/5500 a while ago. parts that arnt supported by the aftermarket are getting harder to get and very pricey . I was in NC after the hurricane with a fleet of bucket trucks. Hit the local gm dealer for some parts, I had to laugh when the first...

    1946 Spartan Polished Aluminum Trailer converted to LORENZindustries Ram Truck Camper

    I like the first one best, but goota tell you I think it would look best on an old rest mod kinda truck, ( like an early 70s ford with a 7.3 powerstroke ) but anyways I love the idea, as for the people who say don't do it, it takes a real man to cut up a classic, anyone can restore something !

    Looking for tips on locking ARE DCU door from inside

    I would drill a hole where the end of the rod passes through the bracket and just use a hair pin, quick and simple and if you need to exit quickly it only takes a quick pull and its outta your way.
