Test drives are nice...

Thanks Mel me too!

Today my brother worked all day in this heat and finished this side. He surprised me with a black stripe to match the truck!

Tomorrow he will be back at it again.

I want to drive the truck around but I am so terrified of these crappy jacks to hold up the camper!

I'll just have to test drive it loaded.

I also need to measure my height!!!

Is that your "new" truck out on a test drive?!??!! Awesome. I'm so jealous haha.

Yes just put a whole new front end on that B4. Also reglued the window to the regulator bracket.

That car has caused me more cursing and blood and oily stains on my arms that take days to come off than all of my trucks combined!

But at over 45mpg it's worth it!

I really need an interior for it though

Job 1 truck. 140000 miles on it now. 5 radiators, 4 thermostats(there's two on it) one alternator, one hpfp.

Not too bad. Seems lately a lot of shattered pistons.

I think my husband is feeling guilty he isn't coming haha. He surprised me with a new fridge and new super comfy big mattress for the camper!!

My brother is almost finished the paint job. It looks so much better!

Going to go on a trial run this weekend for a one nighter. Mostly to see how the truck is enjoying its new parts and make sure no leaks.

I like not having drips of fuel everywhere!

Going to do fluid changes before the big trip.

Also want to search this forum for that thread about which tools to bring.

I wanted to get an extended hitch to install a rack to hold the a.c. machine but they're too pricey

Hey Danielle. Here is one hell'va bargain for what your looking for, for the AC. Fri. Sat. Sunday, Harbor Freight is having a parking lot sale, at least here, don't know about your area. It 's a 500 lb capacity steel cargo carrier, marked down from $70 to $45. Goes into the 2" hitch receiver.

With all that power cord hanging on the rack and adding a cargo carrier, your getting dangerously close to the point of overload on the rear. You really should have a dually.

I have this part, was thinking of extending the hitch beyond the camper. But after thinking about it, I agree, I don't want to be overloaded. The AC machine is about 283lbs shipping weight.

What about putting it on the front? Or I could wheel it into the camper and pull it to the front.

I have pulled out so much crap and I think eliminated a lot of weight from the camper. I might see if the guys at the junkyard will let me weight with it on and off.

(also my husband has forbid me from Harbor Freight and the SnapOn truck without a chaperone hhahahahaha)

I ordered the front mount hitch. Anyone know a weight limit for the front of a 92 2wd F350 also carrying a camper?

I am not sure I will use it, as I want plenty of air to get in there!
