Our 1st 80 Series build

[Ranchero]

Great build! Can you comment on your water tank - where you found it, etc.?

 

[Social Casualty]

Thanks Ranchero! the water tank is produced by Valterra, it's a fresh water ABS constructed 27 gallon tank and come in a few different sizes. The 27 gallon is 8x16x54" part number R8054.

Thanks SiliconTi! It's been a slow ongoing project

Thanks gerrywilson!


Updated platform with drivers side hinged door a rubberized coating on the rear of the water tank, aluminum trim and side hinged doors.

Showing the 54" drawer length.

Small rear power panel I put together including a 12v power supply, dual anderson 30amp Powerpoles and a Hella LED map light all for use when sleeping in the vehicle on the platform.

Fuse block for all accessories mounted in vehicle's rear section including water pump and fridge.

Getting close to completing our rear bar mounted Chuck Box. Complete with storage for pots, pans, cups, plates as well as cooking oils/sauces, salt, pepper, dish soap and others.

We based it off a Pelican 1650 case and had to do some modification to the swing out to be able to mount the case.

Almost finished the Chuck Box today, have a little wiring for night lights to complete and that should be it.

The stove is fastened to the box lid and folds up into the case just by lifting the lid up and snapping the locks

Chuck Box build

Started with a used Pelican 1650 case, a Partner Steel 18" twin burner camping stove, sheet of .5inch berch plywood, 2 stainless tethers, and a handful of fasteners as well as a can of stain and two spray cans of satin clear.

Love the decision to remove the rear seats and use that for a fridge/water system. Very nicely done!

 

[FinsUp]

Wow! You have a great looking truck! I just book marked your thread and saved a bunch of links. Thanks and keep this updated! Love it. We just bought a 1993 In white.

 

[AKayl]

Great build!

I may have missed it somewhere but what are you using for a coating on your platform?

 

[Social Casualty]

Jimmy the Heater, Thank You

Finsup, Thank You and Congrats on your new 93!

AKayl, Thanks, the coating I used is a rubberized do it yourself type of LineX. The name of the product escapes now but will get back to you on that if you like.

 

[AKayl]

Is it by chance Durabak? I have used their textured formula before but never the un-textured.

Beautiful work and craftsmanship. A lot of ideas to borrow here, do you have any better pictures of the Rifle mount on the drivers side b-pillar :ylsmoke:

Nice build. Spotted your rig in OFFGRID Magazine. Nice write up. I really like your Chuck Box build (as well of everything else). After I get the basics of my truck completed I will be building a similar chuck box. Thanks for sharing what you have done.
