I did the same as Moe. Can't give you a cost as we did it when I was doing the original build. Basically, cut to size, pound to fit, weld in place - works fine. I use a combo Pintle, Ball hitch to cover all my trailers.

A beer batter works great for Onion Rings.

I did competition cooking for about 15 years. Also special events, some catering, trail rides, and hunting camps. Also got to teach chuck wagon cooking one summer in Germany. Help a friend on his wagon every now and then but I am mostly retired now. Check out americanchuckwagon.org to find an...

I would suggest using mineral oil. Vegetable oil or animal fats will turn rancid with time. Mineral oil won't. We used a light coating of mineral oil after cleaning all our cast iron for the past 15 years on our chuck wagon. It is rust free.

If I am traveling alone or with just one other it will be a 14" deep. I'll leave the 16" deep and standards at home. If I am planning on making a soup or stew from scratch, I'll take a Potjie, English, or Gypsy pot because of its shape. Since I learned to cook for a minimum of 50, I find...

This approach has worked well for me for a good 60 years. I can't see changing now.

Can't say I am too worried about the radiator but I do need to go down and check out the position of the condenser to my bumper. Maybe just getting better airflow to the condenser may improve the cooling issue. I checked the position of the rubber flap and it is about 5 inches behind my box...

Since the rubber flap appears to be for protecting the condenser from damage by rocks and other debris, how practical do you think replacing it with a mesh one similar to the wire screen around the transmission cooler? Sounds like a winter project for me.

I made a similar mat from scrap cypress that I got from a friend who is a wagon maker. I rubbed it down with mineral oil.

Would like to help as I have made plenty of pie dough cooking on a chuck wagon, but I am not sure what you are looking for. I did a search for "pie-hole dough" and the only result was back to this thread. If you give us a better idea what you want I am sure you'll have plenty of responses.

The book is available through Amazon. S&H is more than the price of the book.

D Hackney used National Sportster Seats in his build. Albums 07 & 08 have photos. There is a description of the installation in his build report. http://www.hackneys.com/mitsu/index-buildup-photos.htm

I have a fairly large collection of oil lamps and lanterns but the Acme Inspector Lamp is one of my favourites. , The hood on this one is 8"X9", I have another that is 11" OD, and one that is 12" OD.

My Uncle was a hunting and fishing guide and ran cutting crews in the woods of Washington Co., Maine from the '30's until the '80's. He always wore Bean boots. He had several pairs so the one was always being rebuilt at LL Bean's.

Reminds me of the Coleman oven I bought a couple of years ago. It is about half the size of the one that Brinkmann made. Handy when you can't make coals for baking in a DO.

Used 2 qts of oil in the first 100 miles. Went back to the dealer in Ft. Worth (200 miles) on a hook. Mitsu Rep said it was normal for break in period. I won't say what the Dealer said about that comment as this is a family site. Oil filter wasn't on properly and there was a bad gasket. Hasn't...

All I got was a box of emergency reflectors. Those triangle shaped things - No tools

I use an 8 ton bottle jack with a piece 2'X12" to provide a wider base for the jack. Worked well when I had to change a tire on my FUSO FG - Casita combo in the middle a pasture.
