Wow! Love it! The junction between the tilt cab and the box hasn't to be huge, just a hole to allow passage from one to another. If the box is too short, it even could be lenghtened. Really a nice project!

Hear this! :) I'v worked for years on Detroit 2 stroke engines, I loved them

Job well done here!

As it was raining those last days, no envy to meet the elements on my motorcycle to go work on my truck, as I have some kind of brains (well, sort of...), I did some drawings about my project. Knowing my truck has for now a day cab, which limits me to three people on board while travelling...

the kitchen corner also has had it's definitive lighting, same operation as in the bathroom, indirect lighting on the ceiling with a led ribbon. I either decided it was time to crack my wallet, throw out that old worn out camping-gaz burner, to put a more modern two burners unit.

Hi all, it's been a long while since I wrote down **** here. :D Truck improved little by little. Bathroom almost finished, I built two doors under the **** hole, to cover the metal dustbin, I also built two hinged covers above the sawdust receptacle and the **** hole, to allow the definitive...

The heater itself may be but higher than the fuel tank, while, to me, the fuel pump should be put at the tank's bottom level. Another option I tryed without succeding was to put a outboard engine hand pump in the line between the tank and the heater's fuel pump. As said, I guess my fuel pump...

My heater sucks its fuel from this tank, dedicated for it. Webasto recommends, when using the vehicle main fuel tank, to put a "T" piece on the returning line from the injection pump. I did want to do that, as my separate tank allows me to use what we call "red" heating fuel here, it's the...

I've read on other forums that those chinese "Chinebasto" ;) heaters work very well. You may think to buy a 5 Kw unit, more heat produced than the 2 Kw unit (seems obvious, hehe). One point of attention is the incline angle you have to put on the fuel pump, for about 30%, the suction part of...

Thanks! ;) My actual engine has 350 000 kilometers, this one only 250 000. When I'll swap the cab, I'll put the "newer" engine and gearbox in it, just checking the clutch mechanism to be sure it is OK. What nice is on this second truck is that it has everything still on it, and as some parts...

Funny story here. One and a half year ago, I go to a old trucks meeting in France, with a few guys belonging to my truck club. I meet there a guy telling me he has spares for my truck. OK, after a chat, we decide to keep in touch and I forget the case. Three months ago, the guy sends me an...

Hi all! At last, finally, I got the washroom ceiling done. Insulation first, then the ceiling made out of 4mm thick MDF, which has been coated/doped with 5 coats of linseed oil followed by 5 coats of white paint. Lighting, as all my lighting elsewhere in the truck, is done with led strip...

Awesome truck!

Wow! Yes! Looks good!

No one, ever, will be able to fix stupid... ;-)

They stick for about one inch out, should be enough. Experience will tell...

more pics of the water heater funnel cap

I also built two funnels coming out above the roof, the little one is the fridge exhaust, the big one is the water heater exhaust.

Hi all, as cleaning the box was useless, I decided to apply a new coat of paint. I also put some adhesive letters to do a BMW motorcycle racing service truck lookalike

Almost twice this price here in Europe, 4,80 € for a gallon of Diesel.

Kitchen doors and drawers completed. The left row counts four drawers and two doors, the upper door hosts the gas valves and gives access to the sink siphon for repairs the right row has 5 drawers and two doors, the two doors being the most important part of this "mobile man's cave", the bar...

If you say so, hehe! I never ask money to help, I even never ask for sex with those women. Some really are surprized. By the way, I went further with the works, I had some place between the two rows of drawers, I've put in there a garbage/trash can, made out of plywood with the same front pine...

We always are someone's idiot, period. I'm no better than someone else, I agree with you, Jay. But as you do, when I can help, I do it, if & when the beneficiary allows me to help him/her. In this case, this neighbour (a woman with three young children) asked me for help. So, we both are...

Thanks ! Just trying to stay rational in my building thoughts/plans and manual skills. I'm helping for now a neighbour who recently bought a van, converted as a RV, being poorly build. A shame to look at... Sometimes sad to see how People think. In this case, the builder was a surfer, his...

Mmmmh, I like the Pete. Still dreaming about that 1949-1955 "needle nose" Kenworth, they can be found cheap, but bringing them over here in Europe is expensive.
