Seem like there is a growing intrest in this platform.

Hey Dale yes I'm putting the bunk back on. I mistakenly removed it when I first bought the truck before realizing I could incorporate it.

I'm sliding the camper 3 ft back, removing the rear wall of the bunk, the front wall of the camper and grafting the 2 togeather.

Then lastly I'll reskin the camper with smooth sided white aluminum to match the bunk.

I called weller truck parts inquiring about rear end gear ratios. I'm going to put a 2.72 in it.

That will get me from 1800 rpm at 75 in 9th gear, down to 1500 rpm in 8th at the same speed. Currently 8.2mpg and I am excited about where mpg will get too. Possibly 10+ if I can stay at about 70 in 8th.

Pete I slept all day yesterday.

Sounds like a PLAN Joe. Should look like a new rig when you finish.

Here is what it looks like now.

This is the ac evaporator and heater core pete puts in the bunk. My couch will be in this corner right on top of it and I'll be able to use it for aux ac and heat in the rear for the camper.

Tomorrow will be a big day. I move the house back 2 ft cut 1 foot off the front, removing the front wall, slide the bunk back between and connect the 2 togeather.

Looking forward to some pics. I think it'll look great with the bunk.

I have defiantly created a project to keep me out of trouble. Both good and bad!! Holy Miley this is gonna take me the better part of a decade to complete with all the ideas I have bouncing around in my noggin. The more I look at it the more things I think of.

I only have 24ftr of house to work with and that creates issues out of things that r not in a 45 ftr.

2 things that seem small but important to me for user friendly issues r a garbage chute and a laundry chute both those baskets will be downstairs..

Also looking forward to autonomous retro fits for existing vehicles LOL. Andy who is selling that gadget?
