How'd you start removing the vinyl? Mine has about 6 or 7 layers, and at least three of them are the stick-on lettering like you have showing now.
NO, that would be a HORRIBLE idea. Trust me, you don't want to paint over vinyl wrap or vinyl-stick on letters.
looks great! MASSIVE bed in therbut you need to take a spray bomb to those Uhaul markings

A company called eastwood likely has the vinyl removers for your drill. They used to carry them, I can only assume they still do.
They are a good source for all sorts of tools and resto supplies.

Water
You ever have one of those days where it seems like you're spinning your wheels, well yesterday was like that for me. I had wanted to have pressurized water for a while and had finally gotten around to ordering a pump a few weeks ago. I had the pump and made a sketch of what materials were needed to hook it up. Because this was a combination of home and RV parts it wasn't as easy as I planned. The two things I had were the Sureflo 2.8 gpm pump and three six gallon water jugs. I mounted the three jugs and the pump on a piece of plywood from the old floor and screwed the plywood to the bed of the truck in the space under the front of the bed. After driving to Lowes, Home Depot and Ace hardware and wandering around what seemed like for hours I picked up a few things, grabbed some lunch and came home to regroup. After redoing my plans I went out a second time for more supplies.
The electric is only temporary, eventually I would like to add a deep cycle battery and a fuse block to the right of the water tanks. Right now I have an alligator clamp to the battery. After I use it and make sure it works as planned I will clean it up.
The on/off switch and the valve are just behind the cab hidden behind the bedside.

UHAULER is for sale. I know this would make a great exploration/camping rig for someone. I have put a lot of time and effort into building it. I hope it will find a home where someone will appreciate it and add there personal touches to it. I have decided to downsize from a daily driver and a camping rig to one vehicle.

It was trying to remove that vinyl wrap that did you in, isn't it?
Ever have a chance to see if you had those parts I PM'd you about a little while back?
I finally dug around my mess of a garage and couldn't find any parts.
Sad to say but this project is Over. The truck is sold. The box is still for sale.
