I'll take your word for it:elkgrin:

The beads weren't cheap, but at the same cost as a high speed balance I figured what the heck. I'm not sure about just putting sand in my tires. It's a cheap...

Check out Nitro Gears thread here in Domestic Fullsize (Just Differentials F450 motorhome on 42" tires). They just did all the mods to run 42s on a F450.

Your project is going to be cool! ...

Good idea. The front would be a great "stash spot" for hunting rifles, or extra fishing rods etc.

Loved your Scout build, but as a Dodge/Cummins fan, this one will be a favorite I'm sure!

The red truck looks like it was out in the snow for a while. What happened?

I think:

A. You have very lucky kids.

B. $2000 for less than ideal or $3500 for ideal... Can you afford the extra $1500? If so, you know what to do.

C. You must post pics of the '68,...

Nice reference you have created MACAMN. Just to boost the Dodge numbers, does my "Holy Grail" thread fit your criteria?

Imagine if you will, half a coffee cup of little white BBs being poured into each tire...

I will take a couple of pics of the friday night work party. Don't want the natives to get restless...

Haven't done a whole lot to the Dodge for a few weeks. I did notice a lot of vibration at highway speed so I took it on over to my friends shop and threw the front wheels on the balancer. One side...

Looks great FWC guys! I will also echo the earlier comment to make the storage go all the way to the front of the overhead. The slight increase in weight will be "outweighed" by better looks, and...

All out can do is test the "slide action" after you tack the hinges on, and once you are happy with that, weld up a bit at a time so you don't get heat warpage. I'm sure you know that if you tack...

Oh, I guess I'm not having acid flashbacks then... :sombrero:

The way those weld on hinges work, you could make the swingout so it can be lifted straight up and off the pins for loading/unloading the camper. Just weld on a tab so it can't be lifted in the...

That'll keep you well under your 8800 gvw. Nice!

Or, if you just CAN'T wait, you can always drive it a while and then sell it when the right one comes along.

E4OD and 3.55s. That's likely the difference. I had a 460 powered E4OD truck the same as my '97, and I think it was close to 10,000. I chalked the difference up to engine weight. A neighbor has a...

If you use your offroad lights in winter, you might want to research the LED thing. I have heard people complaining that they don't produce enough heat to keep snow from sticking to them and...

I used to call my '92 F350 cc Wanda. After replacing all the steering components she was re-named Juanita as she didn't Wanda all over the road anymore!

How is it possible that a same year F250 has a higher GVW than a F350? My '97 F350 PSD had a 9200 lb max GVW! What trans and gear ratio do you have? I guess ZF5 and 4.10s would boost the gvw, but...

I like the airbag "cradle" idea, but I'm not sure if my 3500 dually flexes enough to justify it!

I think you are best to wait for what you want. You can always rent a full size suv to go camping when your girl is in town...

Yes, but he has something heavy under the hood that also makes up for the extra weight , doesn't he?

If you see a '92 or newer Ramcharger that I could get for a song (rust free of course) for a future 12 v swap, let me know!:D

I was pointing out that your budget is $3-5000, and that you want a W250 with a stick.

People have been very kindly posting their Craigslist finds, and I was merely reminding them of your budget...

Empty weight 7400 +/- , GVW 11,000. Payload 3600. And I use every pound!
