Sorry about the foot. I seen medical markings on it though. Good to see you went to the hospital. Burns can be bad. I am a RN working in the operating room at a level 1 trauma hospital. Keep it clean. Infections are baaaaaad news. On another note I love the miller. MGD and the Miller...

To tell you the truth, the biggest problem I had with the bunks was the hinges. I had to make then out of 2"*2" angle iron. the clearance was the issue. The sides of the duese are 14". The bunks are both 30" wide. gives me 74" the inside height is 6'4" or 76". Take 1" away for ceiling...

I did think of that but if I am not using the top rack then the chain would have to run to the ceiling. I thought it might be better to keep them separate. It did sound like a good idea until I thought of that, but I have already remodified a number of things, so if teh legs don't work out...

Sorry abou first pic. This was the one

Got a bit more done. Had to manage a death in the family so took some time off to regroup. I decided to go with two fold up bunks. More room when not in use. Top bunk will be held up with two small chains. The bottom with two legs. The chain will have links to allow for the truck being...

Can't help you out on specifics but Just wanted to say I think it is great you are doing a Vietnam tribute truck. My father (Capt. USMC) was in country for 27 months . He flew the F4 Phantoms with the Black Knights, squadron 314 . Kokomo, Indiana has a Veteran's ralley in Sept. Can PM you...

A few new Pictures. Framing for the bathroom. I included a picture of the grey water and brown water tanks. I'm going to relocate the spare tire and just get rid of the shovel, pick, and ax holder. Tanks will hold 28 gal. each. The toilet uses less than one liter per flush. One gallon is...

AirborneJordan send me a link. Love looking at other builds. Swap Ideas. Skidder, I'll try to make Gilbert. When is it? I'll bring the beer. Or maybe we should both bring some. Just in case yours tastes better. Hope to have some more pics this weekend.

Winter or not, I plan on taking it to Kokomo, Indiana in September for the Veterans reunion. Thankfully this winter has been mild. I would also like to get to the Rausch Creek rally this fall. Spring rally isn't going to happen for me. To much work left for spring. This fall might be...

A little more progress today. Two more pictures of the muffler. I am going to take the two piece section of pipe coming out the top of the muffler off and I'm going to use a solid 5 and half long piece. That will give me about two more feet in height and it should be a quick job. Today I...

I didn't get as much done as I thought, but I never do. I repaired a rust spot where the mirror bracket attaches to the side of the truck. I take no credit to the idea of the muffler and installation. I archived " muffler install with db comparison" It was a great idea. I will need to get a...

Sorry about the lack of recent posts. I Got sick, took vacation, became a little lazy. Today I am getting back to work. I wanted to let you guys know that I did get it weighed in. Same parameters, except I had 3/4 tank of fuel instead of 1/2 tank. Same scale was used. Pre box weight was...

I like the ideas. Thought I would post a few of my pics. I have the thread Extreme Rv from M36a2.

I had the same problem with my M36a2. It was the overflow tube that was clogged. It was so bad that I had to cut it off just after the elbow. I ran tubing down next to the old overflow. I filled the radiator again and went for a long ride. When I got back I noticed that antifrieeze had run...

I got the truck inspected. All is good. When I got back from the inspection I noticed some things I need to think about. The stack blew soot on the cabover and the decking so I will need a new piece of osb board to paint. I did some archiving and I think I am giong to put on a Donaldson...

I didn't know you could rino line wood. I would use herculiner, most likely, but it is definately someting to concider. I don't think the underside of the flooring will take much abuse, but I just don't want to have to pull it out to replace it down the line. Big pain in the rear. I'll read...

Warm weather is right. I'm getting it inspected Saturday. I need to finish up the floor on the cab over section. I need to prime and paint the under side. I want to line to the underside with maybe a vinyl sheathing or something that would be a good weather barrier. I might even try looking...

I did what I set out to do this morning. I finished the cab over and the craw trhough. Actually I just sealed them off, I still need to do th finishing touches in the spring. I also did a awlsome paint job. I covered some of the primer and rust areas until I can sand it down and paint...

Tom, I am going to look into the paint. Thanks for the info. Today I am going to put the decking in the cab over section and finish up some of the welding. I am capping the square tubing ends on the frame with 1/8" 2*2 flat stock.

I have mostly used 4.5" cut off wheels, bimetal cuting blades on a sawzall and the diablo metal cutting circular saw. They are about $30 but they cut great. I used the other twenty foot section, from the 40' shipping container, as a storage shed and I haven't had any condensation on the...
