For all of you interested in the single windshield idea, please bear with me for a couple days. I will pick Mr. Gimli's little pea brain for all the details and post a separate thread for everyone interested. We going to see if we can figure out how to make a kit for the one piece too... Thanks!

THANKS! It was a lot of work, but well worth it. Now if we didn't have to work for living.. would rather be wandering all over the place in the darn thing.. Many, many hours went into just the planning. I would go out into the shop, and there was all my guys (Mr Gimli included) standing...

Hi Zout! We thought about the boot from a semi, but decided to make our own - just using the same principle. We did use another M35A tank that we bought from a buddy for next-to-nothing and just used a cross over tube.

Well, Iron Horse train guy, it's pretty darn easy. Cut the holes in both the box and the cab (PLEASE make sure they line up!!!). Frame both sides with sq tubing, making sure that there is a minimum of 3 inches between the box and the cab. We attached a 1/8" x 6" flat piece of steel, screwed...

M920 - Do you have any pictures of your build?

Hi M920! The ladder is surprisingly light but not light enough for a decrepit old lady like me so we attached a helper spring that assists with the up and down. The spring is actually made to help with raising and lower the drop down trailer door/ramps (like on an enclosed car trailer). It...

Check a couple pages back on this post and you will see the pics that show it is completely done on the inside like an RV. Very comfy and very efficient.

Thanks everyone for the compliments, we do appreciate it. It's real hard to give you a cost on the build because we were able to get used parts for free, others at reduced rates and plus the steel we used was leftover from other jobs, so that was basically paid for. Plus we would be giving...

We have thought about the singles, but one of our trips convinced to stay with the duals. A big old rock took a huge chunk out of the tread on one of the steer tires. We just took off one of the rear, switched it with the bad front, and away we went. Since we go out in the the extreme boonies...

Yes, Maynard83, good eye - that is the propane tank. It works good, but on the next one, we may set it up a bit different. Right now you have to watch those big tree limbs! Oh yeah, Mr Gimli says to tell you that we have a remote fill right by the passenger door so that one does not need to...

Here's some more various pics for you. The frame is 1 1/2" steel tube with what my supplier calls "paintable galvanized" 20 gauge sheet metal skin, riveted onto the framework. All paneling, most of the trim and other pieces are riveted also, so no worries about screws coming undone. The roof...

Ok, ok! Here are some interior shots for you all! It involved climbing on the sink, hanging in and out the door, and some rather rude positions to get everything in but there you go. Here's some of the mods we have done: Cab - new seats (woohoo!), single windshield, new wipers, frames...

After looking at the 109's for possible RV conversions, we decided to make our own!! This allowed us to run all wiring, plumbing and etc within the walls, easily hidden. We purchased an awesome 35A2 from Rueb aka bigelk50 in Oregon last fall and brought it into our steel fabrication shop and...
