The key to the West System is the perfect environment. Not too hot and not too cold. Also making sure that it is mixed thoroughly and applied fast. Buy their pumps and when they get nasty replace them.

Dicor is an excellent lap sealant for pass thru applications.

Rustystud, firefinder basically gave the total summary of the WEST SYSTEM. Great products great people. We typically buy from West Marine locally. They have a price match program that we haven't been able to out due, and amazon has it as well if you want it delivered.

I just started following this tread. Just thinking but what Rusty said on tread 24 about buses and rivets. What if you cut the back section off a bus so you have the large door and back panel. If you changed the window design area you could loose the bus look, The roof is already rounded. I guess if you wanted it would probably accept a canvas cover if you wanted it to almost look original or to protect it as a cover if its stored outside when not in use. Just thinking as I have been wanting to build one as well and have been drawn to the bus motor and trannys lots of parts for not much money.

I am really enjoying all this information and discussion. I am doing this kind of build but on a heavier truck -MTVR. I am hoping to use the stock military bed as it has a torsion system built into it. Since I know some what less then nothing about all this kind of thing I want to thank you all for your homework and opinions. Very helpful.
I have been "stretching" our truck trying to see what kind of torque it would have in normal use, with our Home on it I won't be going crazy on road choices and we hope to bring the M715 along (trailered) on most trips for those hard to reach areas. I do hope the OEM bed is going to work out, given its design with cam locks for c-cans it give me hope it will flex and be strong enough.
