Looks cozy to the point one could fart and warm the place up :eek:. What’s in store for the ceiling?

Don’t mind my paranoia just war and Washington state has made me this way, especially fact of they just let them go here. Anywho nice progress and a shutter would be great not just for thieves but if a bad storm blows through. Got pretty hairy in Montana a few nights this summer and I know how...

I believe you will beat the cold. Nice insulation job, too bad the door and the window in it will be the weak link in the armor for insulation value and for breaking in. Never liked the thought of window you can break no matter the size you can access the door lock or windows one could crawl...

I suggest that then add some fiberglass or cellulose insulation to absorb sound, it’s why I didn’t fill my wall cavities full of spray foam insulation plus thermal bridging I wanted to avoid. I got angry and put my fist through a car window in junk yard that someone pulled a transmission in and...

Slowly but surely it’s coming together, one piece at a time. I haven’t had time to do anything with mine plus I broke my hand... Going with polystyrene insulation behind the interior walls?

Digital camo paint job :cool:

You should look to using Google Sketchup very nice program the free trial version works enough for builds like ours.

I have one of those cheap Chinese diesel heaters though not yet installed future endeavor. Did you get dual paned window at least with argon fill?

Thanks for the update looking great though worried about the pin nails and the vibration of the truck pulling them out. Hope the construction adhesive holds well. At least you got a slab to work on, doing it in a dirt/rock driveway sucks...

I’m still waiting on these photos too, maybe this give it a bump...

Made it to point B, managed to hit a deer the last few hours of driving right outside of Cle Elum. Doing about 60 mph on impact, slung it across the road I stopped and someone else did, but hauled ass after I climbed out the truck with shotgun in hand to put it out of its misery, guess I scared...

I would be screwed trying to fit at all the campsites I stay in with something that large. Better write a blank check for choices of places to park it.

Just stick a Mr Heater in there with 5 gallon propane tank and it will warm right up with 9k btu on high.

I’m not not worried on its looks, I get so many heads turning intrigued on what it is I damn near cause accidents. Bought 4 new 6 volt batteries now running 430ah in series/parallel connection I don’t have to worry about running low if the sun doesn’t come up the next morning before I get up...

Going down the road looking like 21st century Beverly Hillbillies :D

That’s what I did and helps a lot. Also while going down the road the axle splitter motor plug came loose due to previous owner just unplugged it and left it that way instead of fixing it. Fun trying to get up the Continental Divide without it so I hard wired it with heat shrink butt splices...

Thanks! Using a iPad myself navigating, makes life easier than a stand alone GPS.

Around 8 mpg with DT466 on 4:89 gears.

Actually this is my “2nd” time to “just run with it” all the progress besides loading it up on the truck was after I “ran with it”. What is your towing rig? The cab on this one is rotting out and the frame isn’t too healthy, though my next round will be another beverage truck again. Love this...

Thanks, this is a temp fix till later on when I replace all the gauges and put in a different pod to hold them all that I will have to fabricate. Not going to be much building or of anything really for next week or two, I'm headed back to Washington state to grab rest of my tools and my...

Place is going to last longer than you and your kids...

As for the speedometer problem I bought one with GPS antennae to tell me how fast I am going and will eventually rip out all the gauges and customize a gauge pod for it though in time crunch so I got this one for now. Has odometer, trip odometer, time/date, GPS coordinates, heading info...

Time for commercial break from our regular scheduled program. Besides just building my own truck conversion it also includes converting the truck too so... When I tossed the transmission on this truck in the beginning it was cable driven speedometer on it and parking brake on the tail shaft, and...

Either A the emailed photo went to spam, B it didn’t load up all the way and need more time to do so or reload or C it got deleted. So when any water builds up you got holes for it to drain out the bottom? Only under (Go Advanced) is the smile faces on.

And you actually made it here to type this, you didn't drink enough for your celebration with the wine or it was too low in alcohol content:D
