If you search using my user name, you should see the threads I have started. Not all that many that I can recall, and they were mostly questions. I have covered most of the modifications I have done over on utube under user name Rronmar And will continue to do so. I hadn‘t really thought of...

Don’t have anything up for the floor/frame build, as I am just starting on that now(Just cut the last huck bolts this afternoon) so the upper frame is now free of the lower frame. I cut the hucks in the lower holes on the joiner plates(circled in red) and will cover the holes so I can run...

No real build thread, just some utube vids(user rronmar) as I go thru the various modifications/alterations to prep the frame for the box build. I am converting the upper frame rail into the floor frame for the habitat and will use captive hydraulics to allow the main frame rail to twist away...

Height has been one of my biggest concerns. I bought a cab and chassis so am literally building from the frame up...

Well if I were keeping the bed, I think I would find a shelter box, or build my own to fit the full extent of the flatbed. A camper designed for a pickup bed winds up having compromises, being designed for a narrower bed with wheel wells. If it is cold where you are at, you could probably...

Well in the case of a shelter box or camper placed in the bed, the bed structure(all 2600 pounds of it) acts as the subframe, and its components allow for some flex without transmitting all the frame twist into the box. The box of course needs to be able to withstand or tollerate any flex it...

Yea, Neil did a fantastic job! Cutting the DS RPM in half with the eco hubs actually brings them onto the angle/max RPM chart...

Yep, the trucks with low pinions are running the shafts way outside the angle/rpm charts which cause longitudial vibrations. The rear shaft is right at the 61" max length for this type, so has more mass which is what gets moved to cause the longitudinal vibrations in steep angles@high RPM...

The problem with that chart is it does not say what exactly of the many systems actually failed, just that the truck experienced a failure. These trucks were not designed and built to support a profitable enterprise, so design compromises WERE MADE. All those A0 failures could have been in the...
