here's one i free handed because the basic tan paint was too ordinary. the black is ultra flat walmart camo rattle can. the green is duck boat paint i got out of the hardware store same as the tan. i know what you mean with it being so plain as a single color. you might want to get a Rator...
frigidare has a 5000 btu unit that people use on teardrop campers (ebay search for link) but fit up will be an issue as its shaped like a window unit ac but much smaller. The price starts at 100.00. it would be possible to mount the box under a seat and use a remote control to switch it...
memphis equipment most likely does they have just about anything else but you are going to pay through the nose for them. most likely will be cheaper to buy another with the bows already on it.
glad you got it home, looks like it trailers pretty well.
thats a solid old truck, i dont think you would have too much problem restoring it. great find
So i dont think anyone answered directly, We are all in agreement that lockout hubs on the front are great.... no issues there
So if you got a second lockout on the middle axle on just one side would you gain the same benefit as removing the axle or would this cause a problem? Im asking for...
i saw a detroit 353 in a 65 chevy on the internet.... that was about as big as you could go....
you realize that even with a signifigant body lift and suspension upgrade you still will lack about two feet being able to close the hood. i wish you the best but i just dont see how it would be...
its a detroit but im not sure what kind. it wouldnt fit in a M1009. Its huge.
go with a 6.5L GM diesel or gas. Or 4BT/6BT cummins. Even a detroit from a gama goat would be so large and heavy it wouldnt be worth all the trouble. its half the size of a hemmt engine.
sorry but im a electrical novice at best. So does the 12v power supply from the tow vehicle just make the 24v trailer light dimmer? or did you change the bulbs to 12v also. I had heard that it could be done but ive never seen it.
very clean setup.... i like it.
anyone have a picture of a seperate 12v altenator setup. I have an idea of how it would work just want to see the mount and pulley setup. This seems by far the easiest solution.
im making a fiberglass campershell for mine. I dont think making a tonneau cover would be overly difficult. I would get some square tubing to fit the side panel holes and have them bent with a slight dome to shed water/snow. Then get the cover material measure by hand mark the underside in chalk...
well my first was a Gama Goat....that didnt run, shift,stop,and had a few flats when i got it. She wasnt real happy about it. since then ive had a unimog 404 and a m715 and recently a M101 trailer. We use them allot since they are our only trucks or trailers at the house. I hauled a ton of sand...
5-6 K huh..... i think im in the wrong business. if it wasnt for that whole... "i have to be able to live with myself" thing i would probably do something similar. 2cents
buyer beware is in full effect on ebay......
