Awesome. My grandmother was camping well into her mid eighties, with kids, grandkids, and great grand kids. I did have to give her an arm to steady herself on getting into the swimming hole, big slippery rocks. Having a bathroom close by is important. Her biggest thing was being able to get up...
Your fuel filler still makes me a little weak in the knees. Nice attention to detail. I had a '66 when I was 17 that I wheeled all over northern California, 152 4 cylinder and 3 speed. Wasn't fast but sure was fun.
Have the rear diff looked at, pull cover and make sure no big chunks in the oil. Check ujoints in driveline. Make sure brakes are over 50 percent and good operating condition. Pull trans pan and inspect for wear. If you dont have an aux trans cooler get one installed. You probably wont be using...
I hear you on the Ford vans, especially ambulances that have extra stuff on the dog house. I work on semi trucks and it seems like the older I get the lower the trucks get.:elkgrin:
Ouch is right. Do you have tow insurance? My mom got it for her motorhome and used it once. What the tow would have cost paid for something like 10 years of tow insurance. Its well worth it on bigger rigs like yours.
Did the shop get all the drive lines back in their correct places, not out of phase? Pull front drive line and see if it goes away. Then put front back in and pull rear.
I have done a lot of the upgrades you are thinking about to Dodges in my career, you will like the improvement. The only other thing I would recommend that's not on your list is a steering box brace by BD Diesel or comparable manufacturer.
Good chance you fix the line and fill it back up the trans will be fine. All the trans I've done the lines got pulled off the radiator and the cooler got flushed. Probably what the dealer did when they replaced your trans.
