Look what followed me home

[CKibler]

Just brought home my next project. 93 with a 104000 miles well taken care of. Only problem is the damage from a slide in camper. I'm thinking of putting a flat bed on. Boxes of that year are not too good around here. Hope the pic shows up

Nice find, looks like you need a bigger trailer.



Go ahead and put a flatbed on it, you'll love it.

 

[CKibler]

Yes the trailer is a bit short. I plan on adding about 3 feet this winter. I got the truck to use for work. I guess the flat bed will work much better Thanks

Nice find!! Yes, Im jealous... exactly the first gen I want. Auto or manual?

 

[CKibler]

The truck is an auto. To me thats the only drawback. I'll take what I can get

Flat bed there you go. 6 wheels and flat steel. The only way to haul. :-laf



B&W makes a bed that looks real good on 1st gen.



Those bed mounts look broken down to. Must have been a big camper.



Good find.

Sweet looking truck, that's what I need, a W350 club cab.

Truck

I want it ! Jealous you betcha !

 

[dpuckett]

I'l trade ya :-laf. I do want to get rid of my flatbed, I think. I need to take it off and see if I can pick up 2-4extra MPGs. If so, it'll be worth it to me. I also think a p/u bed and a topper would work better for my shoeing rig.



Nice looking pickup.

Just out of curiosity what all would be involved in fixing that sort of "camper" damage?

 

[CKibler]

The rear of the bed where it mounts has been crushed down so the bolts are loose and also where the camper was tied to brackets at the front of the bed up behind the cab was pulled up and back. if you were to take a string and pull it along thr top rail it would look like an"s" rear of bed down the levels off in the center and the front is up. Only thing that is good that I can see are the extention fenders.

The truck is an auto. Water Mill is on Long Island, I'm in the process of moving just outside of Oneonta NY I have a nice old farm up there. Have to get away from this crazy place.

I need to take it off and see if I can pick up 2-4extra MPGs.

I lost 2mpg putting a flatbed on my '97. Since it doesn't really get used as a farm truck anymore, I'm thinking of putting the box back on.
