Doubletrouble

Nice camper. What does it weigh? Just curious, looks like it's making the truck squat a touch. Not a bad thing, just made me curious on the weight of the camper. I think my radiator is worse than yours, it's on my list as well. Just been busy with other stuff lately

Time? What's that?

The head rack is to keep it from falling off.

Mine has a fass ddrp, it's in the factory location but a better pump. Probably one of the least expensive upgrades from a factory lift pump. I plan on moving it to the frame to get it closer to the tank to make it more of a pusher pump rather than pulling fuel so far. Those pumps, factory or aftermarket, aren't meant to draw fuel so far away from the tank. Larger lines wouldn't hurt either. That's also in my plan. Factory lines are small. I plan on going to 3/8" line. My truck will remain mostly stock with so slight upgrades along the way but nothing to crazy. Just want reliable and long life out if her.

Truck looks good with the boxes on. Nice! Truck looks good with the boxes on. Nice!

I've thought of making an account at my local napa. Just haven't done it.

In the first set of pics I noticed disk brakes in the rear? Mine is an '01 3500 4x4 but has rear drums. Was that an option? I would prefer disks. Just curious. Welcome to the forum, there is alot here to learn and gain from reading. Check out all the tech articles that apply to your your truck. Lots of stuff there. Nice truck! You'll love it the more you drive it.

Now let's hope that Mike don't get caught up with the new jet setters he'll be hanging out with and forget us little people. You also forgot one little perk Mike, all these toys will have to be test ridden to ensure they are functioning properly and safely.

Wow @Mopar1973Man, that sounds awesome! Congrats! I hope it pays well and you enjoy it. Sounds like your dream job.

I looked at it briefly but is it possible to remove just the center console? Or even move it enough to mount a stereo amp under it? I want to secure my amp to the floor under the console, would be easiest to remove it if possible. Thanks.

Mine is like that on the driver's side as well. Planning on replacing both sides at the same time, possibly the middle one to. Right now they work for flat ground but I leave it in gear when on an incline just to be sure she don't move

There is a tach in the dash, I assume it's driven by electrical signal. Being it's a '67 I believe that's how it was done. This is just something I've been considering just to make it more reliable and easier to start. The truck sits alot but I do have some plans for it this summer. I want to put in another gravel driveway, haul some grain and some other odd hauling jobs. For what ever reason I'm kind of find of this old truck. Don't know what it is but I like messing with it. Maybe the nostalgia of 1967? I don't know. Lol Considering swapping out the 2bbl carb and manifold for a 4bbl as well. A buddy has a 600 Holley that can be had cheap just need to find a manifold.

That's what I thought. Just wanted to double check. I think that would help it start a little easier and be more reliable.

I have a '67 Chevy C50 farm truck I've been thinking of converting to HEI from the original points. Not sure what I need to do it. I've heard it's easy just want to get everything I need before I start. Any input would be great. Thanks.

I don't have any experience with diesel tuners so just gonna toss out a name, Bullydog? I don't know what they may have available for that truck. Have heard of them though.

Gotcha, just curious.

Quad adrenaline won't fit the bill? Or are you just looking to experiment with something different?

I agree. I don't think I did bad at least for this area. It does have a gooseneck in the bed and fifth wheel rails as well. I believe both should be attached to the frame also correct? The gooseneck in my truck now is attached to the frame. I assume they would all be considering the weight they pull.

Very true. There are 2 broken mounting bolts I'm going to have to get out somehow. Hopefully they won't give me to much grief.

Not a bad idea either. I'm trying to get ideas on how to make it last. We all know the drivetrain will well outlast the body. I have a chance here to try to prolong the rust gremlins from getting another 2nd gen bed.

A buddy found this for me, a second gen dually bed with fenders, tail gate and rear bumper. Bed was Rino lined, under side has very little rust at all. Came with the tail lights also but they were broken. I did scavenge the led bulbs though. So, truth. Was $400 a decent deal for this? Next, how to proceed, should I get the under side blasted to remove any rust then undercoat? Any other/better ideas? I'm in north west ohio so we do get salt snow and ice here. Want to do what I can to make it last before I think about swapping them. Check out the pics. Thanks! Oh, the bed also has aluminum diamond plate rail protectors and a camo tail gate cap as well. The passenger fender does have a chunk out of the fiberglass but I do have the piece that goes there. I was told it could be fixed

There's a joke there but I'll let it go. 🤣 I wasn't sure if they were reliable just because I've never seen mine move. I have seen them work on big trucks (18 wheelers and such) but not my dodge. Not yet at least

Did your filter minder show that it was dirty? I ask because I wonder if they really work. Mine hasn't moved a bit since I bought the truck.

Thanks for the pic! I see how that could make a difference.

@Mopar1973Man, what type of heat shield for the trans? You have a 5speed same as I do, what are the trans temps like while towing?
