I saw that post on the other thread. To me the inside looks like sh!t, but to each his own. I am curious about the connection myself. I have made progress, I’ve just been too busy to post anything here or on YouTube. I’ve been focusing on the inside of the house since I got the the new shipping...

I already know about the chest freezer conversions, there just isn’t enough room for it. None of the house is going to be 12V. The only exception to the 120v is the 5v charger outlets.

Got some more accomplished, even though this is definitely not moving fast enough to make me happy. I got the second wall surrounding the refrigerator finished and added the frame for the overhead cabinet above it. The significant other is shorter than I am so after asking her where she wanted...

Pioche wouldn’t be that much extra of a drive considering I’m starting in AZ and driving to the northern end of NV. Thanks, I never did a proper build design beforehand in SketchUp but I have everything that I want in my head. Insulation will be the closed cell spray in insulation. I had tried...

Nomadic, if you don’t mind me askin...where in NV are you? I will be taking the truck up to Lovelock to see my brother and help him with his rebuild, thought I might stop by.

Yesterday I “rebuilt” the fuel lift pump on the side of the block. Unfortunately it doesn’t work any better than it did before, but I did finally figure out where I’m getting in the system. The fuel filter immediately below it seems to have a case that is separating at the crimp point. The last...

There will be windows, I just haven’t ordered them yet so I haven’t bothered with cutting the holes for them. Windows are an absolutely necessary thing, otherwise this would be one large faraday cage lol More work is completed, I just haven’t updated here. I will try to remember to update here...

I put a new o-ring on the fuel pump couple days ago and got the pump back on and the engine started by that night. Engine sounds and runs great! I tried starting it again last night, but she just wouldn’t fire. I’m betting the fuel pump lost its prime again. There is a seal on the fuel pump...

That’s interesting! I’d be curious to see the inside.

More updates to share but this site is bieng a real PITGA again

With the engine rebuild finally nearing its finish, I’ve been able to do some work on the camper part of the truck. I bought a new welder (Lincoln Ranger 250GXT) with zero hours on the meter. Display model, brand new, just not brand price. Sumbeach still cost me $5000 to walk out the door with...

Feels like it’s been forever since I’ve updated this thread so I thought I’d catch up. The engine rebuild is still moving forward, but it is consuming all of my spare money so I haven’t done anything really new on the ISO or it’s frame. Even though I have all the parts for the frame I don’t have...

It’s been a while since I posted anything in here, sorry about that. I’ve been super focused on my engine rebuild. If you haven’t been following it then check it out (link here), it’s been a real PITA. I have the C channel coped to fit the I beam and ready to be welded, all I have to do is cut...

If you can find them cheaper than Tandemloc then let me know, I’ll still have to buy another 4

That was the company I purchased mine from, just call them that’s what I did.

Be ready for sticker shock lol those things cost me $800 just for 4 of them!

Got two corner assemblies finished today with the help of 98G who brought his arc welder. Welded up and now ready to be welded to the I-beam. For that part though I’ll be welding them together on top of the shipping container so I know for a fact that it will fit when I’m finished. Last thing I...

Finally got the valve cover ready to powder coat the new color. The turbo is with Dormant Red and clear, I wasn’t happy with the color so I cut it with 50% gloss red. First test piece with the 50% cut and compared to the turbo. This color makes me much happier. The turbo turned very...

Finally got all the ‘new’ tires mounted, with the exception of the spare, and I hope that the motor is fixed. I guess I’ll find out with time though. There is an intermittent miss so I’m hoping that it’s just air in the fuel system from replacing all of the injectors. Tried mounting the...

Powder coated the inside of one of my rims. I would’ve done all of the powder before mounting the tires if I’d had the time, but I need to get the truck useable again so that means getting all the new tires on first and then worryin about the fresh powder later. I do more updates on my YouTube...
