Thanks! Yeah I had hoped the "easy button" with the Dodge swap but since that became much bigger issue than I wanted to deal with. Figured at this point just move forward on the CUCV and get this done. :)

I pulled these Hella Rallye 4000 lights off the Ram, when I removed the front guard off the truck to install the new headlights. I decided I wasn't putting it back on so the lights have been sitting on my garage floor. Tired of having to move them to get to things, I decided to just mount them...

Last couple weekends have been working to permanently installing the back wall frame and wall sheet. Drilled through the tubing so I could get my pneumatic rivet gun into the tube to rivet the wall to the box. I am using the same structural rivets I did for the roof raise. Also used Sikaflex...

AAA did the RV title change on my old '97 Dodge Ram with FWC. Since I planned to not remove the camper, it made it simple and cheaper registration. Knocked the $190 weight penalty off.

This is so cool!!! Mega want and seriously which I had the funds. Question about the box, I could not find any info on Unicell's site regarding a cab over option for a truck box. You said the box is 12', does that include the cab over or is that floor length?

That sucks!

That's an awesome story!

Got the rear sheet panel test fitted and did some more finish welding on the wall frame done. Pulled the rear doors off as well. Hoping next weekend will have the frame and sheet panel installed.

Look at how small it is compared to the newer trucks. Amazing how much newer trucks have grown.

@Superduty Thanks, ordered one. :)

Hot tub is epic!!!!

Thanks! Yeah, I figured that out after reading through your build thread yesterday. Very nice work on the windows.

That came out awesome! I was thinking of something similar with my roof but since the construction of the M1010 box is different than most commercial ambos, I did a full roof raise instead. I do have a question about the windows in your box. Where did those come from?

That's awesome!!!! Great job on that.

If you want the convenience of a spray can or don't have air equipment to spray Raptor Liner (and don't want to roll on Monstaliner), Raptor Liner does make some of their colors in a 2K spray can. This is the same two part of the bottles, just in a spray can. You hit the button on the bottom...

Honestly, trying to build a cab forward rig on an existing truck platform is likely going to not be simple or cost effective. Cab forward frames and layouts are designed from the start that way and have specific setups. Biggest challenge is the steering column and linkage relationship. Engine...

I'll take the Lagun mount. I'll PM you.

The one thing I consider when looking at engine swaps is parts availability both local and when traveling. Having to find a part in some small town parts store is something that can and does happen. Some of the larger rig engines might be harder to find parts for. Larger truck engine parts...

Yeah, from the research I have done, the Comeup winches seem to have a good following and reputation.

Cool rig! Looks like that will be a neat project. Love the camper setup. As for engine, hands down, 5.9L 12v Cummins. Torque is king and the Cummins will have that. Lots of easy, cheap methods to bump the power and you are likely to at least get into double digit fuel mileage. The 460...
