What a great story! Glad I could conjure up some happy memories for you. Ive definitely already created some for myself already with this rig. Thank you very much for the info and generous offer! Got your PM also. Im in North Phoenix but not for long. Doesn't really matter anyway, I like to...

I spent the morning installing a Retrosound "Hermosa Beach" head unit. This is the cheapest one they make that is bluetooth capable. I got it completely blacked out and really like how stealth it is. Its rad having streaming capability, handsfree calling and not losing the look and feel of the...

Nice, ill check them out. Oreillys definitely seems to be the best of the "fast" auto parts stores.

Too many pictures, had to split up the last post hahaha This is the HVAC blend controller thingy, it mounts to the back of the temp control assembly, it has one broken vacuum line nipple. I cant seem to find this particular part online anywhere. Anybody have a line on one? Gear selector...

I may have put a deposit on an LS swap today...I should probably advertise my motor for sale since its in the truck running right now. Thanks to @zoomad75 Kept on rollin in the stupid heat again today. Ripped out the dashboard. There was about an inch of dirt/dust everywhere. 40 years worth...

Well I havent let the stupid carb issues get in the way of working on other things so I tore into the doors this week. Im trying to get as much done as possible before Im out of my house and dont have anywhere to work on the truck for a while. 40 years worth of dust is residing inside of every...

I wound up replacing all the old vacuum lines but I havent gotten it out on the highway yet because its been so damn hot and Ive been busy. I will this weekend and we will see how it acts. Ive also messed with the carb a little and picked up an inline electric pump just in case. Still not sure...

Nice, that seems to be the consensus over on CK5 also. The choke pull off seems to operate smoothly when I manually push it in and it retracts slowly. Im going to replace all the vacuum lines and check for more vacuum leaks that could have developed in the last couple weeks since I last checked...

The part that seams to be sticking is the round brass colored valve. When the truck dies this valve is stock in the position you see right now. After it cools off/gets wiggled, I am able to push it in and it slowly retracts. It seems as though its filling with fuel or something. This could be...

Well I busted my ****** Thursday and Friday night to get the camper put back together so I could hit Flagstaff and I actually got it done hahahaha. Almost looks like nothing has changed. It was a little bit of a struggle getting up the hill Saturday morning but we made it with only one...

Yeah its definitely short, learned that this weekend. It was $25 bucks though and it works so Im not complaining. Ill get something fancier some day. I miss Anchorage, only been there one time but it was a blast and Id love to get back. Thanks, Ill get back to you as soon as I can!

Yeah, I knew taking the camper off the truck was going to be in the cards, that probably wont happen for a while because I close on my house sale on July 8th and I wont have a garage for a while. When I do though, Ill replace the front wall, install a cut-up piece of stock fiberglass top to fill...

Thanks, yeah I thought about a trim ring but its so close to the sink and also large enough that nothing round will work and put the faucet close enough to the sink. Im just going to use a piece of ply for now. As for the cabover area. Ive replaced a couple before but tips are always welcome...

Alright, grab a few fingers of bourbon, we got a doozy... ITS ALIIIIIIIVE!!! The pump is an "on-demand" type pump where it primes itself until it hits a certain load and then shuts off. In theory it can be hot all the time and doesnt need a switch, but I ran a switch to it because I dont want...

Still working on the wiring. It doesnt look like Ive accomplished much but it feels like I have. Wiring sure is time consuming. Im getting really close though. I picked up some rubber shielded 12/3(not romex, actual braided wire, gotta love Ace hardware) and ran it from the relay/house battery...

Im planning to upgrade to a fridge in the future and already have the one picked out(Truck Fridge TF65) that will fit into my icebox opening, just need to spend the money. Ive included its Ah rating into my calculations and I should be fine without solar. My total draw is 13.2Ah so that...

Got hot again in AZ but I forced myself to continue on the camper for a bit this evening. Pulled the ice box and started the wiring harness for the camper. I'll be running a 6 circuit Blue Sea fuse box with negative. I have the wiring broken down with current and future fitting onto 6 circuits...

Wish I could have made it on the trip. Pictures on insta look good. Have fun and be safe!

Well, I made a big hole in the driver side wall of the camper. It wasn't without some educated guessing, finger crossing, breath holding, lots of measuring, pushing, prodding etc. but in the end it worked! Since I have previously stripped the exterior skin of other Four Wheel Campers, I was...

This is gonna be rad!
