I t I think that would look good! I loved the battleship(?) gray that Freedom_From_Routine on IG used.

So she’s still a work in progress but I’ve spent a total of about 60 nights in her...including 30 nights straight in the spring. I want to improve the kitchen slide out for hunting season.

Yeah the summer definitely caused a little hiatus. She’s my daily driver but haven’t been in the woods in a while...but it’s getting that time of year and she will be putting the miles on the KM3s. I LOVE this truck!

Responded to you on IG, but the paint has held up well. I simply degreased the whole thing and the dull old white made for good adhesion. The only issue I had was the bolt heads and other rusty spots that I had used red oxide primer. The overspray dust from the primer cause me to have poor...

So summer got hot, and with the truck being daily driven I didn’t get too much done. But last Saturday I hung out with the brothers again and we got a lot done. Added a chest on the rear right. This will be storage for now. I suspect I’ll hide my water tank and plumbing in this area as I...

No progress as of late. Been mid 90’s and we’ve been doing all the normal life stuff(kids, yard work, etc). I’ve also been out scouting and preparing for hunting season. I’m hoping to have a little more progress before October 15 to make the space more usable during hunting season and...

Got the light installed... Before....110v flourescent. After...LED and Cedar!

I’m in Alabama(Pell City), I found this M1010 in Ellaville, Ga. I think I mentioned before about her having 2900 miles in the odometer. The guy I bought it from got it at a Douglas County, Ga auction for, are you ready, $1400. I paid significantly more($5500) but I had studied the market...

Latest progress...the old 4ft flourescent hung too low and honestly didn’t fit our style. My wife had a 12ft LED tape lying around so I fashioned up a very low profile(3/4”thick) light fixture... Hope to get it installed today.

Beautiful rig!

Thanks bud. Long way to go still but I’m happy with the rate of progress.

I was off this past week for July 4th shutdown. I was able to get the closet wall done using a 2x3 frame(narrow side for space saving) and some pallet wood I had from when the shingle for my roof were delivered last spring. I used a little fire to add additional color and character to the...

2 weekends later I spent the Saturday with my brother who is a really great carpenter on the side. We were able to knock out the right side cabinetry save for the front trim fascia and the countertop.

Next came some carpentry... This is not where my skill set lies and nor did I have the tools for it. I bought a cheap miter box and saw and a Kregs pocket hole jig and clamp. From there we started work on the bed. My phone died so I lost the build time lapse but here is a quick clip of the...

And then it went digital for fun....I also forgot I'd love a nice 270 degree awning.

We thought long and hard about how to build the box. Plans include.... - Expandable bed with under storage and slideout kitchen. - A closet space ahead of the bed to hang clothes and house the house battery and solar control system and other electronic components. - On the opposite side, a...

Next up was a change of color. My wife ensured me white was the way to go. This is the same paint we used on the outside except for the color. The paint is extremely tough and should put up with the abuse. We kept just enough of the ambulance parts(focus lights, grab straps, rifle mounts) to...

Currently we put a piece of Lexan in place.

We then removed the A/C. The AC box and lines totaled 135 lbs not including the compressor. Removing this AC and not putting another AC unit in its place took some thought. I had considered a household window unit but the electrical demands(and related weight and cost) didn't seem reasonable...

We decided on a name at this point...Memphis Belle. I was leaning towards WWII bombers or pinups. She's a heavyweight bomber of off-road vehicles and my wife is my Memphis belle...so it stuck. Next up was to set a plan for the interior of the box. The current ambulance setup was not...
