72 IH + ‘85 Alaskan = Questionable Judgment...

You bet— thank you! I was beginning to wonder if all this wrenching on old iron really interested anyone here.

More to come…

Add me to the list of interested in what you are doing. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent!

There's more to come, but I'm sick of fighting Tapatalk's photo uploading problems for now.

I’m following along too. Great job on the build and the documentation.
I had an Alaskan build thread here several years back, I too felt at times that I was posting to a vacuum

I too feel like that at times with my build. In fact I have not updated it in several months.

ITTOG's Truck Camper Build (was 6' x 12' Trailer Conversion)

6' x 12' Trailer Conversion In September I purchased a 6’ x 12’ tandem axle trailer for my on road and off road adventures. I was tired of battling the rain in my tent. I do not get out as often as most on here but do get out two or three times a year for about ten days. For the past several...

Another follower here. Love the Internationals! The first vehicle I bought with my own money at the age of 19 was an 1970 1200D 4x4. Big fan of the old iron. I'm currently working on my own version of your style build. Looking forward to more.

Alrighty then.

After a grand misfire and a great weekend, I stayed away from that damn IH. We were in time-out, needing our space.

Around the middle of June, I got the push I needed to solve this fuel problem in the form of a crawfish boil at my BIL’s mountain retreat in Rollinsville, near the divide.

Thinking this problem might be with fuel flow rate, I swapped out the (not so) old 30 gph pump-

For a new 55 gph one.

I packed some clothes & some beer, and set sail for the mountains, fingers crossed.

First camp spot:

It was kind of a nightmare because I had to dig some pretty good holes in the driveway to get it near level, and I didn’t sleep real well worrying I was going to roll back down the driveway into the neighbor’s living room.

Still, it was a win because I got there & back with no fuel-related issues at all.

Next was a little trip to Overland Expo. Some cool rigs to see, interesting merch, but it didn’t really feel like the place for a shade tree-engineered rig with redneck overtones.

One thing I did get a kick out of:

My house wiring “hub”-

The one on a converted rescue truck-

Some rigs that caught my eye:

And this one, because it’s no more than you need to get out there:

I did one more camping trip to The Gulch (Rollinsville):

Leveling up with my new Anderson levelers into a much better spot than June:

I had gotten sick of this moisture intrusion by now-

So, with some self-adhesive foam from McMaster, I fixed it:
