Enjoying the build so far. Sucks about the your truck order that shows up to be shipped right after you buy your buddy's truck.

I totally approve of that blue! Love that color!

What size vehicle are you using? The one in that video is a very short wheelbase, which will limit frame flex but that is not going to be your typical camper build on a normal vehicle (like truck, box van, etc.). Class C RV's have some flex to them. This is why over time you will start...

I'll be willing to bet, the vintage of those trucks, that F250 is already overloaded without any of your gear. 3/4 tons of those vintage don't have the capacity of newer 3/4 tons. Heck, that vintage F350 has the payload of modern 3/4 ton trucks. Without knowing your offroad experience with...

Thing is, you want to have some flex. If things are so rigid nothing flexes, then things break and driving down any road, they are not truly flat. Get on back roads or dirt roads, it's even worse. All vehicles have flex built into them. It's about controlling the flex, that's the challenge...

That looks like typical frame flex that almost all cabover's are going to experience. The front vertical wall is the junction at the frame, between a cab and box. That has a lot of leverage hanging out and that is where the frame will typically flex at.

Amazing work but I would never have that level of patience nor time commitment.

I have been researching something similar for my 2000 Ram 2500 long bed. Here's a build using aluminum. I haven't found many, most are steel and heavy.

More importantly, how did you get the eagle to fly into your picture frame, for a great shot?

Per forum rules, must have price and location.

Yep, any mounts that hold the cab on (under cab and core support). The number of them depends on the vehicle. My '55 Chevy wagon has 14 mounts. ?

Having done this on other vehicles, loosen all of the body mounting bolts on the cab and core support. Then removed one side (drivers or pass) and put a floor jack under the rocker pinch rail. Then just up that side enough to get the top bushings out and put the new ones in as you go. Then...

Nice work on the holder. 1/4" plate might have been a little overkill :ROFLMAO: You'll want to find something to go around the paper towels. If you get any wind blowing on that (like from your window being down and driving), you'll find they will self unroll around itself. Ask me how I...

I agree, I wish there was a more "factory" looking bumper that has provisions for a winch and better protection. Not sure on 3rd gens but it seems many 2nd gen bumpers end up looking like the truck has a fat lip sticking out.

Hard to tell in the pics but is this the 6.5' or 8' model?

OMG! With as many rivets you have done, a pneumatic riveter would have saved a lot of work.

That's a lot of drilling holes and riveting. If you have a compressor, the Harbor Freight pneumatic riveter is awesome! Question, are you putting compression sleeves into the tubes that bolt to the frame, to keep them from compressing over time? It would be worthwhile as over time, that will...

I would look at something like Raptorliner or Monstaliner tintable bed liner. Do it in about any color you want, give you a texture (level of texture is based on PSI and spray pattern so can be light to heavy texture). Very scratch resistant and easy to apply (can roll on or spray). About the...

Nice! If I was ordering up a truck, this would be how I would do it. All the good stuff without all the fluff. Love seeing a manual transfer case shifter.

I am interested in this. Sending you a PM
