Hi to all that have opened this thread:
(this my very first time starting a blog post thread here)
Man, have i read about some very dam good builds and mods..... highly impressive. Lets first start by saying mine will never be as good as some of those. Example of a great build and blog post is from GCecchetto. For me it's about cabbage, time, and skill. (fyi: cabbage= irish green for money & lack of, time= never enough, skill= jack of all master of none) Haha.
Ok.... I am building a custom bed for my 2003 Chevy Silverado, 2500 HD Duramax, 4x4, Crew Cab Long Bed. To accommodate my 2009 Four Wheel Camper (FWC) - Grandy. I am the second owner of the camper. Last year I drove out to Iowa to purchase. I am a very simple man and camper. Storage has always been an issue no matter how i have camped; from tent to truck tent, to full truck camper, to pop up, to trailer, back to tent...and final at this stage of life to a FWC pop up.
I am the kinda of guy that will always be tweaking something and looking for not only the best way to do something but the least expensive, and at times settling for what i can afford. Lets face it the best camping and exploring and adventures have been with good people and good trips, not our equipment. First a few pics of the travel home, then i willl start with the build.
First day of purchase in Council Bluffs Iowa.
submitting this to start to see how it comes out, if good i will get a beer and continue.
