    Super cheapo van build, it's my fourth E350...

    Speaking of which. At what point are you going to have to change the title of the thread? Those last couple of pics looked pretty "not super cheapo". :)

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    Recovered! Woot n stuff. [/URL][/IMG] This is the plug that runs your overhead lights. I think the little green wire (1 on each side) are for lighted visor mirrors but I don't have those. Second pic is the van side of the plug. It's on the drivers side and runs down the corner of the...

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    Anytime! Just be sure to bring a big fat check too because while I don't mind shooting paint, I absolutely hate sanding and taping and filling and anything to do with body work, except the actual shooting. Shouldn't cost you more than eleventy billion dollars. :)

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    For some reason photobucket changed some of the picture folders from public to private, but only 3-4 of them. Go figure. As far as I can tell it should all be good to go again.

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    Naw, didn't move anything. They still show up, for me anyway, but not sure that means anything. Maybe photobucket is having an issue? Anybody else not seeing the pics in my thread?

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    Well it's done. I didnt realize how absolutely crap-tastic the pics were till it was too late to take more. Try again tomorrow. You can get the basic idea so I'm open to opinions. At the moment, I'm kind of undecided. It looked ok in my head, but now that it's done, not so sure...

    What is your favorite belt?

    I'm fond of these guys. Some of the most bomb-proof belts I've ever seen, but to be fair they're also the biggest pain in the ******** to put on and off. I really like the Cobra buckles, and you can get the inside lined with velcro to keep certain firearms related bits from shifting around, if...

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    Thanks. And I forgot to mention something I noticed awhile back. Do you realize the link to the build thread in your sig actually goes to a 10 yr old thread by someone called dieselcruiserhead?

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    All taped for the final (I think) shoot of Raptor. Rockers, the front module corners, and in back the sides I'm going to give it that phony beaver tail look without actually chopping all the sheet metal. Can't do that, nope nope. Can't bring myself to lose the compartment space, and besides...

    Ford 6.0 Turbo Diesel - How scary are they really?

    I think some guys who haven't had to eat some of those repair bills are missing the point. The 6.0 is a great engine. The one I still have runs like a raped ape, and has had all the popular "bulletproof" stuff, but that isn't the point. It WILL fail, sooner or later, and when it does the...

    The Lunchbox Build... 4x4 chevy shorty van

    $600!! Holy crap. Can't say as I blame you for nixing that idea. In my case I could use the factory bar, which was still attached to the axle when I bought it, so no extra charge.

    The Lunchbox Build... 4x4 chevy shorty van

    I'm curious about what you see as cons, and why. I ran my pig without sway bar for a bit, but like it much better with, at least on road. My Jeep was the same. Liked it a whole lot better on the street with the bar, but off road I had disconnects. My van otoh doesn't have disconnects, but...

    MG Metalworks Van Build

    My apologies, sincerely. I didn't mean to offend or question your abilities, as those more than speak for themselves, evidenced all through this thread. I was simply curious if you had plans beyond the E-series because I've heard the "what you gonna do" questions more than once myself, and...

    MG Metalworks Van Build

    I'm curious how you envision the long term viability of your business model. What I mean by that is that as I recall Ford saw fit to dump the E-series except (for now?) the CC versions. With no new E-blood entering the consumer market, how long before you run out of potential customers...

    Ford 6.0 Turbo Diesel - How scary are they really?

    I'll tell you my opinion and where it's coming from. I've either owned, or own, everything from a 7.3 idi to the 6.7. I've owned the 5.4 and 6.8 gassers. If you don't NEED a late model diesel truck, I.E. the 6.0, 6.4, or 6.7, it's A) not worth the buy in premium and B) not worth the...

    3D printer weekend project

    Pretty sure he got that, but just wanted to Geek Out about his knowledge of 3D printers.

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    I'm just about 100% positive those lights came on in reverse. Otherwise I'd never be able to see squat at night, which is pretty much what I see now. When I was doing the Raptor on the back end I let the backup/brake/turn lights just hang, which was probably a mistake. I might have pulled a...
