Mine may be available. Ditched the OEM system for my camper project, it's yours for the having but gave some other stuff away earlier so need to check if I still have it. Can check in the next day or so.

Today's work... Extension tacked: Clamped in place: Tacked in, cab at air springs inflated: Burning it in: Front wall is just about done now. It's been a good week for progress.

One of the jobs I was most intimidated by is now done. I have a passthrough. Laser cut bulkhead panel: Building it into a box for accommodating cab wall arc and thickness: Committing to the concept and plan: Roughed in, held by friction, some gaps to fill, but centered and level: LOTS...

Axle centerline to aft end of cargo bay bottom is 74" and the floor is 32" high. The math makes for about 25° departure angle. I know that's probably not impressive to rock crawler types, but it's miles ahead of the truck camper in the F350. I think it'll take me everywhere that I am...

Did one more to get a better feel for things, and I'm actually liking it more and more: This one is marginally more accurate. The floor in the cargo bay doesn't extend as far down as the initial sketch showed. It's 32" off the ground.

Overall height is right at 12'. It varies a little from front to back but it's tough to measure exactly on a gravel pad. The horizontal length of the lower tail section is 33". I forget the exact number for the upper section but I think the length is 80" from the end of the subframe rails to...

Used my mad skillz at MS Paint to skin the cabin frame and approximate some windows. For some reason, this makes it look more manageable to me, and it's almost right at the target of what I drew up originally for the exterior dimensions: There will be a window or two in the bedroom area...

That's what I started thinking if it's all over the fuel tank. Check cab lift cyl connections maybe?

No worries at all Doug. Better to have a thorough discussion with you here than with Johnny Law on the side of the road or watch my rig get towed away. The regs in OR are online. This is the link to the overhang section: https://oregon.public.law/rules/oar_734-082-0030 The relevant...

This was something I hadn't thought about until your post Doug. After a little searching, I am confident I am in the clear. Oregon is generous in their allowance. Per what I found online, we are allowed 3/4 of the wheelbase, and the wheelbase is from the front to rear axle. In that case...

Not sure how much opportunity there is over the cab due to the tilting cab access to the motor. If you've got a creative solution, I'm all ears. Regarding the swing of the overhang, I noticed this already just backing it in and out of my work space. I will poke around a bit more with it...

I may not be fully awake yet, but I don't follow the question. What's the suggestion?

So.... I've been building in an RV-sized but still "single" carport without being able to really see this project in its entirety. I finally drove it out into the open yesterday and saw it for the first time in the wilds. Uh, it's big!! I did make it a little bigger than the drawing I...

I like the idea as well. I've been posting in the FMTV subforum but will post to wherever the mods feel is the correct place if this is opened up. Thread link is in my signature below. To me, this forum feels to be well suited to this endeavor. Lots of people who appreciate the vehicles...

Thanks. It's sometimes difficult to work alone, everything seems like a great idea with no one to disagree with you. Any and all feedback is welcome. Affirmative. The steps are a little further out laterally than the tank, but the bottom of that 2x2 piece across the bottom is just above the...

Starting to look more like a jungle-gym than a camper for now. Regarding the diagonal bracing, I want the frame itself to have a bit of rigidity without shear panels on it so I went diagonally. It may be non-traditional (I haven't seen anyone else doing it this way) but I wanted the structural...

Walls/roof framing going up: Slow work, but feeling good to make progress again.

Fun story... I PM'd Jim (VertigoPilot) to say that I am up to visit a town near him from time to time and it might be interesting to get together. He explained that he's also to that town often as that's where his boat is moored. I said, that's funny, I have a boat and it's moored there...

Close.... Grainger. Look up die springs, lots of lengths and rates to choose. I will end up replacing the upper springs on the aft 4 perches with shorter ones- actually going to use the springs from the first set of perches in the upper positions. Originally I was going to insulate and build...
