    were the parts mostly new from dealer parts or from salvage yards?

    Very few from dealer. Didn't want to end up with more than $2500 in the truck. Paid $1400 for it from the salvage yard. I am right at that $$$ now, with mostly Rock Auto, Amazon, etc. Part purists can bash me, but it was simple economics. And most were not functional part anyways, just body. Functional parts I do sometimes get OEM, just depends.

    I am closer to $4000 in the green one. Probably a little too much, but both drive and run great.

    Not quite as purchased, but I bought it back before cameras had been invented. This is as old as I got, I think.

    Current state:

    Wildernest. Has a tent built into the roof.

    Don't bother; it's old tech. A PITA to set up and far inferior to any current RTT or wedge camper on the market.
