I got matching interior paint from the dealer when I did mine. May be lucky and still have some available somewhere. I got the last can (according to the *******) of the dark maroon color that they had in a Portland, OR storehouse. Be sure to clean the pod completely. The dealer's paint was...

I'm a Lance owner (twice), but I wouldn't say brand loyal. I had really good luck with our Lance Lite 815. A bit narrower (won't fit on DRW), a bit shorter, but still full size and worked great for us for a number of years. Couldn't even feel it on my old '02 2500. Plus, up here they are "loss...

My '93 W250 Club Cab 4x4, auto, pwr etc, sold for $10. 5k IIRC, here in Pierce County (south of Seattle). Took patience to find a buyer however.

WOW; I'd go higher than everyone else, but I'm w/o first gen currently so my desire for another has crept up over the last 5 months. Is it ext'd cab? If so, I'd easily go $10 - $12k. Much more than that, and you can find nice 2nd gens so resale would be difficult.

I had my stock drag link break with the 1" springs installed. Could have been caused from a number of things, but a new drag link isn't so bad... spendy, but safe.

Over on DTR, there is a template from a fellow that goes by Bumpytruck (I believe). I used his template, a sheet of diamond plate alum, and rented a hole saw to make my "Old Smokey" copy. Got everything (filter, clamps, 4" alum intake tube, 45 degree rubber boots) from Air Flow supply in...

http://www.gibsonperformance.com/free.asp Hope the link works. Looks like they need a first gen CTD to build a prototype exhaust system for future sales. Must be able to get the truck to them in Corona SoCal, and leave for 2 days. Good deal = free. For my first gen brothers!! Oo.

I used Kelley green glass paint from the local craft store. 5 coats; matched perfect.

Isn't the 820 the Lance Lite 815 with attached "skirts" for the SB models? If so, that is a narrow, fairly light camper if it is not loaded down with a ton of extras. I ran a Lance Lite 835 w/ ext'd bed area in my '93 W250 and was right at the GVWR, and well within rear axle & tire ratings...

I think slide in's are great in a budget application, but some of those that are $25k+ almost would push someone into looking into a class C motorhome. My Lance Lite 835 works great, was inexpensive, and the truck handles it like its not there. Love it!

I know, I know... I do feel somewhat like a traitor, but ya can only afford what ya can afford. I needed new this time (hard to finance fixes to used trucks in the payment plan). Anyway, the ad is up now. Thanks Clint

Carl, Nope, couldn't afford a diesel of any brand this time around. Got a new '04 Chev gasser crew cab for $24k. That's still a lot of dough, but the new diesels were well over $30k. Plus I took a new job, and I'm only 8 miles from work, instead of 70 miles from work. So it works for now...

Most folks say the 2nd gen rear seats are too big. They use rear seats out of a ford ext'd cab (fit best). There's a guy on DTR that did this, but I can't find his post now. He sold his truck now too, so may not even hang out there anymore. Good luck. OBTW, don't want to sound like the...

Mine's listed in the classifieds. Had to have a crew, but not in a hurry to sell if you know what I mean ;) Let me know if you know anyone interested. Eventually I 'll have to sell it, but... :{

Congrats! We had this same problem times 2. Looked at the canada rear bench seat, but it was too small for the seat base to sit on w/o hanging off the front edge (which then violates the car seat manu rules). Ended up buying a triple trucker front bench (like a 2nd gen, except the middle...

Stan's headers built me a 4" from the turbo back. They now offer the 4" DP with their exhaust kits.

Just go to a local craft store, and get some $1. 50 glass paint in a kelly green. Pull the bulbs and paint them; let dry and paint again, and again. I used 4 coats to match my dash lights. Works great, and no melty bulb covers to worry about.

I installed shaggy's front shackles. Much thicker and a bit longer to move the rear spring eye away from the frame a bit more. $60 I think, and they came with all the bushings.

I run 33x12. 5 on 16. 5x9. 75 wheels. 1" springs, minimal trimming of the black plastic fender flare, and the front fender lowest lip. Can't tell I trimmed anything unless you get under the truck. No rubbing on the street; minor brush with the rear of the front fender lip when off the road...
