California has so many rust free vehicles,I can't see why anyone would settle, just wait and a similar vehicle without rust will pop up for sale.

What about a small trailer ? You could get some weight off your truck and carry a mini bike to get you out if needed .

I think you are fine with your truck. You said you are right at gvw and under your axle ratings.

The wiring, plumbing, cabinets and finishing still needs to be installed by hand by semi- skilled manual labor

I know many ford f150's came with a 9.75 rear end

I made my own front mounts for my camper.

I think you have it in the right forum. When you start posting pics of the build you will get more interest.

To the truck owner. It sounds like you got caught up in building the"cool" overlander and may have overbuilt for your needs. When you get tied up emotionally in a vehicle sometimes overspending is involved. Most of the time people lose money, it is a depreciating hobby. In my life i've bought...

I think if you are going to be commuting, get a small street bike. Small dual sports suck for covering boring road miles. Yes it can be done and people do it but why not get the best bike for the job.

Price seems high. I don't get the love affair with the 7.3/4r100 combo. Stock they are kinda sluggish. I had an 02 f350 7.3/4r100 , didn't really care for it. The same combo in a built out 12-14,000# camper doesn't sound appealing.

The woman told the officer that she had been living at the site for some time, and that she was surviving off grass, moss and fresh water from a nearby river. A few campers had also given her food now and then, she said. “We now believe she knowingly chose to remain in the area over the months...

When I saw your truck, it made me think of this one. https://www.fourwheeler.com/features/1211or-stealth-prerunner-1982-ford-f250-4x4/

My favorite body style. I had an 83 f250 with a 6 cyl. and an 84 f250 with a 6.9 Right now I have an 04 f250 v10, 6 speed. would love to have my running gear with a 80-86 body

I was just about to buy the dynatrac kit for over $2,000 until I found out I Will need 2 cartridges of Grease. Too rich for me, I'm out. Seriously, everything about the trucks have gotten better, bigger axles, bigger brakes, better engines and transmissions,etc. They did kinda cheap out on...

Nice, clean truck. One of the best trucks i've owned was a 2000 silverado 1/2 ton 2wd extended cab with the 5.3

Sounds like a good plan. I think there are too many variables for companies to have in stock. I'm sure you could have a nice one built exactly the size you want, just depends on your budget.

Easy but not cheap.
