    Buckstopper's FG Build

    Update I'll come back to the suspension seat question but I thought I should post some more photos and an update on the build. The concept of the build was to put an aluminum flat bed on the truck similar to this photo from Highway Products in Souther Oregon: The idea was to use a slide in...

    Buckstopper's FG Build

    There isn't much that can make any seat comfortable in an empty Fuso.:smiley_drive: The first deadhead trip was from 750 miles Montana to Oregon and I did another 1250 miles going to pick up the camper at Hallmark. The truck was a work truck in its previous life so the seats are a bit trashed...

    Soft sides in windy conditions

    Hallmark Ute ok in the wind We camped near Maryhill just up stream from you in February and it was cold and really windy. Our Hallmark Ute did just fine in the wind. The whole rig was rocked by big gusts but no noise from the soft side. The nice part about having the soft side is that we...

My truck is about 80 - 90% done at this point so this will retrospective to some...

    What spare parts do you carry in your FG140?

    Responding to Olsurfer's post regarding the CPS got me thinking again about what spare parts I should be carrying. With my Ford, there were a few odd things like a spare CPS that I would't leave home without because they were known failure points. What should I be carrying that is unique to...

    Short Bed vs. Long Bed

    Take a close look at a short bed. How are you going to use the truck? If you are considering a truck camper on your new truck look at the floor plans designed specifically for short beds. Short bed campers use the wrap around space for bathroom and storage space pretty well. The shorter...

    Sven Saw folding saw appreciation thread

    I have one in my truck that was my dad's so I know it is well over 40 years old. It weighs next to nothing and takes up little room. I have used it many times in the years that I have had it. Great little saw and a great example of "KISS" engineering and design.

    Suspension Airbag Durability?

    I had firestone airbags on my F350 for over 10 years and I was hauling an overweight hard side camper and pulling a big heavy boat. I had no problems with the airbags and they made a huge difference in the handling of that truck. Your application is totally different since the F350 was leaf...
