Pretty sure those are the oil lines for the hpop system..... should have oil in them not fuel. but if they are leaking better to change them now,

I would keep the ford, gm stopped building the c4500/5500 a while ago. parts that arnt supported by the aftermarket are getting harder to get and very pricey . I was in NC after the hurricane with a fleet of bucket trucks. Hit the local gm dealer for some parts, I had to laugh when the first...

My 2001 450 been starting in this cold mass mornings, well up to sunday. old girl just wouldn't fire. had to plug her in for 4 hours. then Monday morning, got her fired up and for the first time in my life had my fuel gel up. That was even with it over treated with power service. Been nasty cold...

worn injectors can also cause a hard/no start when temps dip.

Just amazing sir!

yup, black wire is for charging, as for hot water, depends on what you are looking for. Years ago I put a small 110 volt one under the sink in a camper. If you want propane, I will be a bit harder,

Thank you sir!

mite seem like a silly queston, but did you glass it, or just use the epoxy over the wood.

I like the first one best, but goota tell you I think it would look best on an old rest mod kinda truck, ( like an early 70s ford with a 7.3 powerstroke ) but anyways I love the idea, as for the people who say don't do it, it takes a real man to cut up a classic, anyone can restore something !

I had a zr2 blazer a few years ago, ( gave it to my godson) was drop dead reliable, and easy to fix. Im more of a ford guy, but it was a good truck.

I would drill a hole where the end of the rod passes through the bracket and just use a hair pin, quick and simple and if you need to exit quickly it only takes a quick pull and its outta your way.

The one thing I have to offer, if you are going to be living in it, get the 8 ft bed and camper. I live in a 28ft 5th wheel with 2 slides, and that feels very tight sometimes. so go as big as you can with out going over the top. just my .02

NICE RACK!

When I redid the floor in my Scout, I did a roll on bed liner, then put down some of the bubble inslation from home depot, then put carpet over that. seems to be good at keeping the heat/cold out, annd sound level insiode is much better. I guess we will se in a few years if the bedlinr will keep...

SOoo very cool, The 360 is such an over looked engine, nice to see a modern truck with a real engine! oh and I got a buddy in PA putting a 466 in a 74 IH travelett such cool swaps!
