I always heard that troops want in the tank while the tankers want outside. Local veteran was a tanker when his tank disappeared in a German house basement when he pulled into the house to hide his tank. He ordered everyone out and pulled the pin on a grenade to put his tank out of its misery...

I have a MKT85 and am ready to test burners as soon as weather warms enough to put up awning. I could see a MKT trailer as the base of a manly Coleman popup camper with the outside sidewalls attached. Guess others at the KOA campground would be scratching their heads with Deuce and GI camper in...

I will post pictures of fold up back porch as soon as my main computer receives CPR. I have a black screen to look at right now.

I really found the ultimate portable back porch but I do not think a Deuce would have enough power to pull the hills around here.

The porta potti was designed by a distant cousin of mine, Frank Sargent who got tired of a Airstream camper with"no place to go, shall we say". Wonder what he would think of a Deuce Camper?? You are making good progress. I saw this truck back porch from some site. I like the design...

One thing I did in my house was to back up drywall or paneling walls with plywood in areas where I could mount anything anywhere. Handy for hanging pictures,shelves etc. I can't wait to see your plumbing and tank locations. I am leaching ideas off of your build. I plan a semi dry camper build...

I worked summers on the State Road crew and a dump truck driver drove in the lot with tree limbs and leaves stuffed in what was left of his side mirror. I kidded him about cutting brush with his mirrors instead of a chain saw.

My friends mentioned with the roof solar panels are you going to put a tree limb protector pipe along the truck box top sides to help prevent a tree limb from putting you in the dark with solar panels dangling behind the deuce by the wires? Food for thought. Lots of trees here overhang the road...

Are you going to write "THERMOS BOTTLE EQUIPPED" on the truck bed. A Union Carbide school demonstration on liquid nitrogen stated that if your house was insulated like the nitrogen storage jar, you could heat your house with a light bulb!!! You have certainly insulated the walls, now your...

IS HIS SPECIALTY MEXICAN FARE? I would not complain to the cook about anything. In the Frat House we had a common refrigerator and some would borrow if midnight hunger struck. My solution was to keep my stuff in a paper grocery bag because the food thieves were too dumb to look in the bag. Had...

At a fraternity picnic at a State Park, a member thought it was funny to beat on the tin sides on the outhouse as I was in there occupied. He had his laugh but turn about is fair play, when he felt the call of nature and made the outhouse run, I followed and took a log and braced the door shut...

I traded for a Mossberg 500 12ga. with 16" short barrel and adjustable stock. With high brass 23/4 shells it kills at both ends being so light. It kicked like a bank mule and sheared off the shell holder plastic rivets . An AR butt stock cushion and a shotgun rubber cushion now occupy the...

I am interested in you GI drywall job and how well the material works on the ceiling/wall radius . I have to get my truck home (400 mile recovery) to see how the insides are in. I am thinking of doing most of my remodel towards the front half of the truck box and leave the center floor space...

Are you sure your (heater?) unit will ventilate flue gasses venting down hill with your 90* bends?????? I hope it is not a flame unit as we might read about you in the memorial service section. Or is this your AC unit?????

I would post a thread with your air/12v supply so everyone could see it. It could be built with wheels or a slot to use a hand truck to tote it around . Mark

Sojouner I like your set up. Does the compressor have a crankcase for oil? You have a compact outfit for sure. You are only missing an arbor for a grind wheel and wire brush ! Your set up reminds me of the old antique engine powered line shafts that powered multiple tools from one engine. I will...

My Hatz engine is a one cylinder that resembles a small Briggs and Straton air cooled engine with a starter attached. It is supposed to be Navy surplus off a sub? I will try to pull a picture of it on the site. It is more than you want to carry. I think it would turn a 35 amp GM alternator...

I have plans to stay mainly 12 volt in the box side of truck with a combination of roof solar panels and I have a small Hatz single cylinder diesel with 12 volt starter. I plan a small amp GM alternator charging a battery bank located under the truck some where. I believe in KISS Keep it Simpler...

Thanks for the pictures of what is inside the box walls. With all that foam, are you planning to haul freezer pops and push ups and become the local ice cream truck? How are you going to resurface the box interior? ........ Are you going to cover the wiring or use conduit? I was thinking...

I am in the process of trading for a M109 that I intend to modify the box for light camping and other uses. I plan to install a larger side window near the front to serve as possible second path of fire escape from the box. How thick are the metal sides and the distance between the outside and...
