That sucks!

That's an awesome story!

Got the rear sheet panel test fitted and did some more finish welding on the wall frame done. Pulled the rear doors off as well. Hoping next weekend will have the frame and sheet panel installed.

Look at how small it is compared to the newer trucks. Amazing how much newer trucks have grown.

@Superduty Thanks, ordered one. :)

Hot tub is epic!!!!

Thanks! Yeah, I figured that out after reading through your build thread yesterday. Very nice work on the windows.

That came out awesome! I was thinking of something similar with my roof but since the construction of the M1010 box is different than most commercial ambos, I did a full roof raise instead. I do have a question about the windows in your box. Where did those come from?

That's awesome!!!! Great job on that.

If you want the convenience of a spray can or don't have air equipment to spray Raptor Liner (and don't want to roll on Monstaliner), Raptor Liner does make some of their colors in a 2K spray can. This is the same two part of the bottles, just in a spray can. You hit the button on the bottom...

Honestly, trying to build a cab forward rig on an existing truck platform is likely going to not be simple or cost effective. Cab forward frames and layouts are designed from the start that way and have specific setups. Biggest challenge is the steering column and linkage relationship. Engine...

I'll take the Lagun mount. I'll PM you.

The one thing I consider when looking at engine swaps is parts availability both local and when traveling. Having to find a part in some small town parts store is something that can and does happen. Some of the larger rig engines might be harder to find parts for. Larger truck engine parts...

Yeah, from the research I have done, the Comeup winches seem to have a good following and reputation.

Cool rig! Looks like that will be a neat project. Love the camper setup. As for engine, hands down, 5.9L 12v Cummins. Torque is king and the Cummins will have that. Lots of easy, cheap methods to bump the power and you are likely to at least get into double digit fuel mileage. The 460...

That's the plan (outside of regearing). Just a lot more work, time and money.

If the GVWR was 10K on the Ram, that might be doable but with it at 8800 lbs. it was going to be close to weight (or over) once the box was moved and built out. Add the weight of a flat bed and it would be well over GVWR. The M1010 truck is rated for 9400 lbs. GVWR. Add to that, putting the...

Well... moving forward. Picked up some aluminum tube and sheet to start building the rear wall. Much to my surprise, by using 1.5" thick tube on the bottom and 1" thick tube on the top of the opening, the door fit perfectly. I knew it was going to be close but I figured I would have to shim...

Down side is, if you have to pull off the road and it's a narrow shoulder, it becomes a risk of the door/you getting hit, since you cannot see what is coming when inside and the door closed.

Very nice rig!!! Might I ask what the reasoning was behind putting the camper door on the driver side? Seems unusual to do.
