I had heard about SpaceCraft on the Escappees Forum, we stopped at a rest area near Columbia last week, while waiting for FD to return to the RumRunner, I noticed the building directly behind the rest area said SraceCraft, I clicked on the Nav screen and found out the next exit was only a 1/2...

Go to the escappees forum and post this same question on the HDT forum, John W Morgan has a bunch of experience in cranking up the IH DT466 -blizz

Before you start.... Drive out to Concordia MO and talk to Wyatt at Spacecraft, if your conversion is going to be a nice on (rather than just someplace to haul dirt bikes and sleep, I doubt that you can build it yourself much cheaper than SpaceCraft can. They do as much or as little as you want...

The 2 other trucks belong to Chuck at CandS Conversions in Watertown SD I believe they are still for sale. -blizz

Souns Dyn-O-Mat! oops I mean Dyn-O-Mite! if you roll on dyno-mat, just wash all the steel down real good with soap and water, then a quick wipe with rubbing alcohol, and the surface is reay to roll on the dynomat. you should use a small 1" roller to press it into all the grooves and corners. We...

We would like to run it down to Nashville the last weekend of April, we have a conference there. We want to stop in Kansas City, there is a Mexican restaurant that serves the worlds greatest Mararitas at least we thought so the last time we were there. Then overnight in a Walmart and on to St...

A buddy of mine uses these tie down systems to haul his very expensive Old Shelby Mustangs he likes this system and I think it may be a solution for you too. (Maybe not I just remembered your tight quarters, you may have a heck of a time tying that car down. Travel Lite lockdowns You may have...

I like it!! Gotta love posts with pictures to wake everyone up!! -blizz

Make sure that the windows you bought are for both the right AND left side, putting them on the wrong side may get a bit breezy and soggy. Thats how I wound up giving my 4 25 dollar a peice windows to some ice fishermen for their Ice houses. Sounds like a great trip, we spent over 3 grand, then...

I was at a RV show 2 weekends ago, there are some very, Very VERY good bargains on almost new pull type units right now. I saw a lower roofed 24' unit 2008 model that looked like a holdover or used a couple times before returned. under 8 grand. I could have put that on the back of my GMC 6500...

We looked into foam mattresses, but we plan to use or conversion primarily in summertime, and foam mattresses hold heat where a coil spring will not. Ours is a "Full" as we needed the small difference down the sides from a queen. it is only 4" thick. they can adjust the firmness/softness of it...

We had a local custom mattress place make us one using pillow top mattress springs about 200 dollars, really comfy. -blizz

Step bits? never tried them, I did borrow a home built frame drill, you could if you had all your holes marked and possibly piloted rent a magnetic drill for a half day and drill all the holes. A hand held 1/2 drill will require a few extra bits as you will break them long before the dull. blizz

Ray, you are not in the woods by yourself, we might lurk and read, but if ya need something that I can help with just post, I get by here 'bout once a day. I cut my frame rails with a Dewalt saw-zall and 3 $2.00 each metal blades, it took around one song on the radio per cut, but 3 beers to...

I'll let ya get by with crimp connectors, AND heats-hrink. The problem with scotch-locks is it is very easy to chop the individual wires off! then you only have a few strands to conduct the current. Then the weight and shape of the scotch-lock starts to bounce however minutely as you go down the...

EEEEEKKKK!!!! Scotchlocks!!! The scourge of the 12volt world!! Why anyone would use those other than the fact that they are lazy is beyond me. Please take the time to solder and heat shrink those connections properly, you should have enough wire stuffed in there to do it right. -blizz
