The concept of using this truck for a conversion this size is decent. The execution however is??? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4x4-Expedition-Camper-Mo...QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Alright I know this truck does not have alot of potential without significant investment But... There is an element of cool. 12V71..I know old tech, fuel pig but the sound and that long hood. I have an MP3 of one running (no idea how to post it) I can't help but be eccentric...

Pretty cool. Dual axles are unusual on those. I wonder if they are both driven.

Eagles are notorious for rust. A thorough inspection is an absolute necessity.

Pace it is. I figure no matter what I end up with as a motorhome, be it truck, bus, whatever, this trailer will be able to move most anything that will fit plus serve as a container for any other toys. http://www.supermotors.org/vehicles/registry/detail.php...7573&s=30457#content Kevin

I am looking at a used 30 foot (33OL) Pace. Built in 92'. What I am interested in is the quality difference between Haulmark and Pace and new vs old? This trailer has the older riveted sides but seems to have a very sturdy frame. Are they built better or about the same these days? I would be...

I have a pretty nice Alpenlite truck camper. I need to be able to haul a car also. Based on both the price and the rather sparton living quarters trailers I have seen for sale, I am thinking I could get a low deck open gooseneck trailer about 36 feet or so and put my camper on it. With some...

The cab looks like a HMMET (hemet). I don't think the truck has AWD in this case. The HMMET's are pretty sparton. Look like they have DD V8's, probably 8V92's based on how old they are but I could be wrong. Allison transmissions typically I think. I am sure Oshgosh has a site with info on...

This would be unusual to be sure.

I am from Oregon and am very familiar with going to and from work or school in the dark. I think we are actually farther north at 46deg N latitude. If resale or keeping the wife or family happy isn't an issue then build it the way you want. I was just posting the broader issues of things to...

You don't want a dungeon, especially if you take the family along. Guys only could probably deal with fairly dark environs. At least one window per side. It is a trade off. Think resale too. A dark box won't sell. Kevin

Wick - How much was your box if I might ask? That looks pretty nice. Does anyone have a range of what an unfinished box might go for? Does Wildside/Showhauler et al offer partially completed setups? I don't have 60-100k available to buy something like this. Kevin

How much does the typical frame stretch cost?

My wifes big issue is money of course, secondly she doesn't like the idea of yet another thing with an engine. She should have known better marrying a motorhead like me. Weather it is bus or truck or ? We need a trailer too. She also has a worry that she will be towing something the next...

I have been on the list a couple years now. I haven't bought anything as yet, the Navy keeps me too busy. I also keep flip flopping between a truck and a bus. I have been watching a Crown HiPo I really like which is a little of both if you know how crowns are put together. It is everything a...

Not as bad if the box wasn't just a converted freight box. I like the truck. Cheaper and I might consider it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIte...ame=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT If the link doesn't work try the number 4587008239 Kevin

That isn't a chinook, it is a sea knight. Called dynamic rollover when that happens. Notice the wheel becoming entangled in the deck nets. Several died in that accident. You're far more likely to die in a road accident then in aviation. Not any less spectacular either. Truck accidents can...

I like it. Are wildsides decent?

I don't think we have enough owners out there just yet. We do have this website though.

The one thing I like about old Crown's are they are much more sturdy then most any other bus and have an aluminum skin.. It's a Bruck. Shoot they made great fire engines. Other then some Gillig's , no place else will you find a Cummins and a road ranger in a bus. They also get pretty darn...

Cheap way to get into an RV. Tough to get parts and looks pretty dated. Might be a cool project, but a project it is. Painted up and updated, it would be pretty cool.

It is a 66 HIPO and I have posted some pictures here. 400 cummins with a 13 speed RR. Upgraded and converted in the 80's. Been in CA it's whole life. They have lots of aluminum. Really like it but the Wife is not going for it.

I am dreaming right now on what I want. I think the wife is going to squash any new aquisitions for now. My "bruck" option I have mentioned on the board before. A 45ft dual drive axle Crown former highway post office. It has almost 7 feet of ceiling space and for the length probably the most...

Which looks best? I used to like a nice cabover before. The older bullnose KW's and Freightliners are cool when done right. Practicality and other issues are another matter. Cabovers are more manueverable I think. They are harder to work on and would be much harder to build with a workable...
