I've been through that area a few times when I worked in the oilfields. It's definitely not the Nebraska of cornfields, it's gorgeous.

If they're still available I'm interested.

Do you sell them?

I have not but your best bet if you're in the US is agricultural or mining equipment stores for stuff that size. Grainger and Fastenal also come to mind, probably have to look through their catalogs but they have stuff like that. A good bearing house might be able to help too as they do...

I just picked up a 03 8.1 today that has 15k miles on it. Bad news is it ran out of coolant and quit, it would still turn over though. Good news is it's from a C5500 so it has the A/C and brackets to stuff it in older vehicles and I only paid $500 for it. Hopefully it can be rebuilt, I'll dig...

Nice. Have you posted it up on Binderplanet.com too?

4x4s posts are for fence posts. The only place 4x4s belong is under the camper, OP is skipping the 4x4 under the camper and using a 6x6.?

Talk to IdaSHO. He's built a very nice camper from wood. I think it's in the "other camper" forum. Right now there is a thread he started on changing its color.

Is it done yet?? Can hardly wait to see pictures of the completed rig.

I have to agree with the above and think you would be money and time ahead with something else besides a shipping container. But if you do get a shipping container and cut the bottom out weld in cross pieces every few feet just above where you are cutting it. This will make attaching it to the...

My dad bought a brand new diesel D50 4x4 in 1984. Lots of fond memories driving it, sometimes with him and sometimes by myself, I never told him some of the things I did when he wasn't with me.

Sent you a pm on your gas cans and pett.

An equipment rental company should have the big all terrain forklifts with the extendable boom that you could rent or meet the box delivery with your truck at the rental yard.

There should be. Or a crane service but that would be expensive. You might try the local tow company, they can usually move stuff like that with their wreckers depending on the box construction and tow points on it. Or they can recommend you a company that can unload it for you. I have a U...

Red wire, green wire, blue wire, I don't know. Let's just cut them all.?

I hear you on made in USA stuff, it's hard to find. Timken seems to be about the best bet but you can't find it everywhere because it does cost more. I usually use a bearing house in Spokane that has more seals and bearings than you can count.

That's the part that bolts to the frame right? Not the part with the bearings and that the ubolts are on? Have you tried a heavy truck parts house? You might have to disassemble it so they can take measurements to match one up. Another option if all else fails is have them made by a machine...

Just zoomed in on the pictures of the canopy and can see the old company name of One Digital, telecom canopy it is.

The trailer appears to be a M116A3. The canopy probably came off an electric utility company truck or possibly a telecom company truck. I put a canopy similar on a pickup for a splicer when I worked for a telecom company as their mechanic.

What does it include? Doors, windows, interior walls, etc or are they extra?
