Metcalf, great build and awesome trip report! This and rango have to be two of my favorite builds of all time. Would you mind telling me a bit more about your buddy's old ford? I have a '78 f150 shortbed that I think would look pretty cool with an aussie (think PCOR) tray. I don't want to muck...

Thank you for taking the time to document your modifications. I don't own a truck camper but I find your work very interesting. And as a fellow woodworker, I really enjoyed your solutions to problems such as the spice rack and toilet riser.

I think this might be the coolest rig I've ever seen! Keep the pics coming!

Awesome find, I've been casually looking at ambulance rigs in the local Richmond area, I never even considered driving one from 2000+ miles away! I'm eagerly going to follow this build to see what you do with it!

I really liked my cooper st-maxx tires on my super duty. I thought they were just as quiet, and wore better than the cooper at3's that were on there before. They also did better in NH and VA snow conditions that i experienced. I also REALLY likes my toyo open country at2's on my last truck, an...

I've never been to Cape lookout itself, but having spent a bunch of time in obx I would say "it depends ". If you want to get out to the island and experience the solitude, do some fishing, swimming, etc then I would take two nights. The ferry takes forever and I think the extra day would really...

This is so cool, thanks for sharing!

I absolutely love that truck! Literally everything about it it awesome. Thanks for sharing!

I just found this thread, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this project comes along! Good luck!

That looks so good!

Thanks for posting about your trip, cape lookout is on my must see list. We stay in the outer banks a few times a year, July would definitely be a hot time to visit.

Haha, you mean I'm not the only one?

Very nice, it looks perfect for your uses.

One of the guys at the earlycj5 site just started this: http://www.beamingpix.com/ it isn't free, but for $15/year it might be good for some people. I'm not affiliated in any way, but I just thought I'd pass on a solution to stupid photobucket.

Haha everyone is a rookie at one point! You should have seen the left handed studs on my 1957 willys the first time I tried to take the wheels off! You only do that once though :)

Wow, as much of a pain as that situation was, it's sounds like the company bent over backwards to make it right! You don't see that too often.

Looks great!

This is next level awesome! Congrats dad, you guys will have so much fun!

I think you'd be very happy with that fuji. Deore components seem to be the happy place for budget vs. Quality. Obviously you could upgrade as parts wear out, but deore seem to last a long time. As far as motobecane bikes are concerned, I bought a mirage pro a few years back ("triathalon" bike...

What a great build, I want to do something really similar for my truck!
