The new truck coming is a 2017 F-250 regular cab long bed, 4x4, 6.2 gas.. This new truck is going to be great. I ordered it way back in July with all the electrical and mechanical options to be a capable backcountry camper hauler. It will have the 4.30 gears so it should be quite the hot rod. I...

Oh no doubt about it. I'm thinking there will need to be a good 4 inch block-up for the new truck. Right now there is 1 3/4 inches of plywood under the camper so it clears the roof of the 62. And it could use another inch to be safe. One thing that concerns me is the possibility of interference...

So now the goal is to get her cleaned up, sealed up and ready to go onto the 2017 F-250 in my sig. This truck is supposed to be built on 9/28 and arrive to me mid to late Oct. Couple more pics -

I finally got some time today to give some attention to the Alaskan. I filled the jack reservoir to the top will fluid and the top went up very nicely. It went up fairly evenly with only a little push needed at the right front corner once to help it . The jack action is strong with good...

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. I picked up some supplies like hydro oil and dicor for the roof vents. Still need to buy some sealant for all the other areas as well as a boat load of new screws. When I get the top up, I'll post up some pics of the interior. I've been...

I was able to install longer screws of the same diameter and get a good bite. This particular area...

Thanks. Yes it is the one from Sonoma. Apparently I was quite a few people down the list of respondents but was the first to leave a phone number. So I got to have a look at it first. Rusty, I've been reading a lot of your info here and that will be a great help going forward. The truck has...

Hi everyone. Long time reader here but haven't posted much. I've been researching and looking for an Alaskan awhile and now I've acquired an 8ft CO for my old 62 Chevy truck. It's a 1976 model in pretty fair condition with good bones as a starting point. It needs a good cleaning and detail as...

I put the Bilstein 5100 shocks on the front of my 2016 F-350. Night and day difference from the factory shocks even though they only had 10k miles on them. Fitment was perfect. The Bilstein 5100 series can be had for lifted and non lifted applications

Fantastic trip report and beautiful photos. DYNOBOB, did you ever need four wheel drive during the trip?
