Thanks Stan and Mike, I'm having a lot of fun restoring this thing. It was in surprisingly good shape for how old this is. I was 8 years old when this thing was built :sombrero:

Excellent work! Could you tell me what brand sink/stove that is? I've been looking for one for my build, but can't find anything like that. Thanks. Looking forward to more of your posts.

I've been busy lately with work, so not much to report on today. I tapped the rest of the dents out and applied bondo to the areas. I also finished up the tail light mounting and backup light mounting on the drivers side and installed a new porch light. I think I'll have some time to work...

Time for a small update, did a little more work on the camper. First, I tensioned the spring piano hinges to be able to install the front lifting panel. I then started by riveting in the top of the panel. Because I am using the same hinges in the same places, I could rivet back into the...

Thanks! I lucked into this one for the price. They are pretty available around here, but many are pretty pricey. Although one was given away on Craigslist about a week after I bought mine.

Well, this evening, I decided to do a little work on the camper. I wanted to take care of this mess here. So, I went and found some decent wood at a great price. I picked up enough to complete the whole interior of the camper, as well as make some new cabinetry out of it. It is Baltic...

Thanks! I found this one on Craigslist. There are lots of these old campers floating around here though since they used to be made in Denver.

I decided to start taking the lift panels off, so I made a couple 2x4 braces to hold the roof up while I worked on the panels As you can see, the lift panels are toast. After I took off the front lift panel, there was some mildew/mold. Its long dead and cleaned up like new with a little...

I got a little more done on the camper today. First, I started by cutting out and removing the cabover wood. It was in pretty bad shape. I'll be replacing it with 3/4" birch ply. After removing the wood, I seen that it would be easier to replace the front lifting panel while the cabover...

Yeah, I don't like to sit on things. I want to get this done in a few weeks so that I can use it this spring/summer to camp here in the mountains/desert. Not sure how long it will take me exactly though as this is all new to me. This is my first camper, so I'm not too sure yet where to source...

I finished up redoing the plumbing and wiring on the drivers side, then I installed new plywood. Now that the frame is narrowed to fit in my truck, I'll be starting on redoing the interior. After that is finished, I'll repair the drivers side aluminum (the previous owner said the camper...

I'm up in Loveland, just south of Fort Collins. I've seen a few FWC on trucks around here and it looks to be the ultimate go-anywhere camper setup, so I've been looking for a while for one and finally found one.

Thanks guys. Not much to to post today. The driver's side is built differently than the passenger's side, so I had to first remove the stove, sink, propane storage area and most of the cabinetry to see what I had to work with. Its a mess. Once that was done, I removed the plywood off the...

Hello everyone. Last week, I bought an '86 FWC Keystone for $675.00. It has some issues, but for the money, I thought it was a decent deal. In this thread I'll document my full rebuild to include narrowing the floor pack for modern trucks, rebuilding the interior, replacing the over cab...
