I can imagine it would be hilarious to take that into suburban New Jersey and park it next to the mall crawlers GREAT TRUCK And excellent re engineering of a classic

@banjoplayer93 Thanks. Yes, when it is parked next to a "normal" modern day "SUV" it really shows how big it is. The best part for me is when I drive around and see the young kids pull on their dad's shirt sleeve and point! Thanks for the nice comment.

Nice harvester!

The camper looks and probably functions pretty nicely for cold snow runs =D

would of put a cummins in it but im sure that 502 is treating you great

props!

Thanks a bunch. Yes, I have a 12,000 BTU propane RV furnace in the camper section plus I insulated it with 1" thick CLOSED CELL foam. Underneath the sleeping bags I have 4" of open cell foam on top of 1 inch of closed cless foam. it is very comfy for myself, the wife and our two old beagles! I stayed away frm the diesel more for weight distribution issues. The extra few hundred pounds on the front springs was a bit more than I wanted to have there given the front winch and so forth. Ron

Having fun is fun. If you had to sell that truck how much would you aks for?

[1966ih]

I never added it all up but I figure about $40K. Big ticket items I can remember. Turn Key 502 Engine with Fuel Injection and all pumps, pulleys etc - $10K. transfer case $6k, tranny $3k, custom bellhousing & flywheel I designed and built to run an SAE #2 tranny - $3k, pumpkins (rebuilt from scratch)about $3k each, tires and custom wheels - $4k, custom aluminum 70 gal fuel cell - $1.5K, body & camper $5k, raw steel - $2k gages, exhaust, suspension $5k. Blood, Sweat & Tears - priceless!!

Thanks! I have found it takes about 4 to 5 feet of heavy, wet NE USA snow to stop it on level ground. Once, in very light puff snow which is rare here in the NE, about 3 feet caused me issues. The puff snow got up under the engine compartment and started making all of my belts slip.

Wow sounds like a camping machine!

and yea those diesels can rack up the weight

and im sure would send it out of whack with that much weight in the front when on snow.

all in all a amazing restoration of a now priceless gem

happy trails! =]
