    2003 Ford Super Duty F-450 [7.3, 4x4, ZF6] (86k miles) $55k

    $55k With a heavy heart I am listing my expedition truck. I love this vehicle and had intentions to keep it forever but I need more doors and a longer wheel base. I bought this truck in 2021 as an arborist truck and have done the restoration and up-fitting to its current state. Interior 8/10...

    Thanks! No they don’t, this is due to the dually adapters. They’re like a big wheel spacer

    Ferdinand (F450 Avion Build)

    Such a rad experience, they are wonderful people. The truck has a dedicated second alternator with a Balmar alternator(charge) regulator for just the camper batteries. The batteries are capable of receiving up to 300A of charge input. I don’t remember specific charge numbers from their system...

    Thanks for the helpful Info! Last year I sealed the main seams, window edges and old rivet heads with flex seal (roll on) in clear. It has been waterproof since. Used it all winter as a ski hut! Though the 50 year old window up by the bed will let in snow while driving in a blizzard luckily...

    Slow and steady. Bought it 2 years ago while at the final stages of a pop top 4Runner build. The runner was just too small for what we needed in the end. Was cool though

    Ferdinand (F450 Avion Build)

    Sure is an awesome piece of metal! Lady and I have been debating the AC hard… It still works, draws about 100a DC. I could throw a soft start on it and be able to use it during hot parts of the day (with solar input) and a few hours at night. Planning on a 400ah LiFePO4 bank… and 800w of...

    Ferdinand (F450 Avion Build)

    Avion is pretty much completely gutted and off the truck for now. Bathroom and all cabinetry is gone aside from the overheads which I’m gonna keep. Also gutted the entire back portion of the camper including the floor. (Lots of water damage) Before it can go on the truck again: - make a new...
