Project Basketcase: Another ReSAS story

This is closer to what I was thinking. The semi truck with a camper towing a flatbed with trucks.

 

The first one was better

 

I didnt get much done this weekend. Had to go pick up a new daily driver and tow rig. Black N Tan will be up for sale soon.

Did get my aux fuel tank mostly mounted and the storage box is almost done. Gonna have to put my bottle jack inside it to push some of the panels where I want them for weldout. The Punished skull was a last minute add on, thought it was a nice touch. Thank you @EddyRRT for playing along with my stupid ideas

 

What did you pick up? a Kia and an oil burner?

 

05 Excursion. V10, I can't afford a Power Stroke

 

I wasn't real impressed with the way this thing mounted. Just 3 tabs to hold it down. SO I built some straps to secure it. There's room for a little rubber under the straps to prevent any rubbing. I'll figure out plumbing later

 

Still have to finis welding out the lid, and then I'll seam seal everything inside and out with urethane. But my bed storage is built. It'll be rigged to open and close with a linear actuator.

 

Another flatbed for inspiration if you haven't seen it.

 

Haha no way, that guy is from here, I swapped hoods with him

 

Started the exocage this weekend. Next need to get the rear bumper on then start joining them together

 

Nice work!

I there enough room for your foot to use it as a ladder?

 

Well shit, now he's gotta cut it all apart..

 

I've watched lots of junkyard car builds and that's a cool thing they do.

 

Another day, a little closer.

Crawlbox and Tcase are installed. Still have some work to do on the shifters. The main down bars for the bed cage are tacked in place. The RTT will sit on these later.

Just keep plugging away and one day it'll be done. Thank you @ahspurlock for your help again today and @EddyRRT for listening to my weird ideas and figuring out how to make them work.

I swear anyone doing this without a couple skilled buddies is SCREWED

 

Nice. You gonna bother trying to seal the floor? I was working on my twin sticks today too.

 

I will. I have a boot for it

 

I have one that works for mine, and I'm probably just gonna stick it to the bottom of the body with mastic

Got a delivery at work yesterday. I wasn't expecting them so I had the Tacoma with me. Took 5 trips to get them to the shop after work.

They look huge next to worn out 37s
