IdaSHO , you are inspiring me ! I bought a 93 Ram W250 with a Cummins ...... I want to get rid of the original box and do a flat bed ......then either slide a regular camper and close the sides or do a slide in camper like yours ! Dan ,

Thanks Umtaneum ,great answer ! :victory: But dont you think that even the phoenix will have dust issues ? I had a poptop westfalia with perfect fabric ........ But whenever we slept in a wallmart ,we had to deal with noise ! we ended up sleping with top down all the time ,but the lower...

you have about the same truck then me !!!! Ill probably fix the cab ....maybe remove the box and transform it into an RV ....now that I know I have an A518 this thing is a tank ! lolll Dan ,

thanks Motafinga , My friend has an Hi/Lo 31 feet , he loves it , when lowered it doesnt drag in the wind .......low gravity ! Ill give a look at those Alaskan campers for sure ! I dint know it existed Dan

found : www.autobodyspecialt.com ....they have much more body parts ..... anyone ever did a modified camper project on his pickup ? Dan

LMC has the same part then : rockauto and many others all these floor pans dont have the reinforcement .....

Is Reflectix some kind of insulation ? any link? thanks Dan

Possible new project orientation , instead of putting the ram pick up mechanicals in/under the Econoline , I might build an RV out of the pickup .... this thing is built like a tank : good old fashioned diffs & T/C It has Dana 60 front diff, positrac Dana 70 rear diff , NP205HD Transfer case...

Thanks to all of you , Brian ,quite complete answer ! ...... One of my neighbour had a poptop camper ......says that it was usefull when offroading in rough sections ...... he had a hard time to sleep in it when boondocking in walmarts or truck stops ( left top down : noise ) as you said...

I have this new project , a camper in an 8 foot box 4x4 cummins powered pick up we plan to go "mild" offroad trails .....I had in mind to convert my Econoline van first but changed my mind .... being an absolute newby in campers , why should I go for a popup one ..... I understand the lower...

been a long time , what about a 5.9L 6BT + auto tranny + T/case I can get a low mileage 4x4 92 cummins Ram 2500 complete ......... I think it could make a good swap ...

Id say that any A Arm type suspension is pretty hard to lift more then 2" ...... but then 2" + bigger tire ( hope it fits in front fender ) should give you a good start hope you`ll get a posi differential ! On my 84 Cutlass I installed UMI tubular front A arms , maybe they have...

this is my new concern , would it fit directly ? switch twin axle beam to twin traction beam ..... It would be so simple and id keep the coil spring suspension .... anyone knows ?

I`m on a budget ...buying such type vehicle is impossible to me ... And , I like to create from my own hands .... This van is seriously so clean , I just cant pass on this project ! Update : after hours of search & discussions , Ill keep the 351W MPFI for now ......changing the cam , long tube...
