Another crazy dude doing crazy stuff. Great. Welcome to the club. Just one simple advice -if I am allowed to: expect the unexpected, don't forget your family and your friends, be prepared to spend three times the original budget, double (at least) your estimated time for completing the project...

Happy and proud of your own job; what a great feeling. Congratulations. Pairoa

Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been working, but updating this and other two threads have become a little hard with few time remaining after regular and extra work. I will show some progresses as soon as I can. Greetings from Chile.

My deepest respects to your dad. Wish I had a quarter his skills for TIG welding! Magic indeed.

Absolutely, and sometimes seems it would take forever. Good work.

Just my PHO, but... isn't it a little sterile to go on with this thread if the owner does not update it since january 2012?

Welcome to this quiet exotic world of the truck/camper self builders. Nice shop and nice old 416 indeed. Where are you from? Did you build the panels yourself? Keep up the work and let us know how it goes. Pairoa

Victorian and Sitec: Many thanks for the encouraging words. If I had the choice, the AK 2628 would have been my choice, far; longer distance between axles, a bit more powerful, more place to play with not having to plan for a longer overhang. But 6x6 was my choice from the beginning, and...

Hello again: Yes... I know that I haven't updated this thread for long, but I have been working all the time, as some of the members of this forum know. This is just to point that, no matter what, I still go on with the project and if possible will get to an end... who knows when. Whoever has...

No matter how thougtful you were at the designing table, there will always be something to change, cut, hide, stretch, paint or replace. Good for the Mog. Enjoy your toy. Makes me feel happy for you, guys.

Looks like a very nice and well preserved truck, congratulations and very welcome here, where you won't feel alone in the long path you have decided to walk through.

Hello Svenwesley: I agree with the idea of the composite sandwich panel with no wood in it, at all. Check www.stadur.com as another source of inspiration. If you like, I can give you the proper contact coordinates. Good luck with your project. Pairoa

Great job, Iain! Many of us know how fantastic it feels when you start the engine for the first time, at the first attempt (I hope), after all that work. I can understand your feelings regarding Ianc's comment, but remember the old wise words:"Never say never again". Greetings from San...

You couldn't really expect better than that! Just what you needed and nothing...nothing more. Keep the news and the pictures coming. Best of lucks.

Nice work with the engine, Iain! (as with all the rest of your project, of course). It makes me remind the one I did with my truck, long, long time ago. It took me eons to finish it; seems you were pretty fast in comparison. It was my first engine rebuild, though. Keep up the good work and let...

AK is for all wheel drive.

Well done, Neil and Pat. Enjoy the beast. BTW: you never know what your skills are untill you decide to do something putting your heart in it. Cheers. Pairoa

Hi casejeep: If I was you I would take a closer look at Ozrockrat's advice. Cheers. Pairoa
