Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
Thanks Advanced Design.
Thanks Saclandman. Thanks Chris. How's your project coming? Quote:
Thanks Swamp Rat. I appreciate all the kind words from all of you, and good feedback. Now it's my turn to wire it up, plumb all the lines, basically put it back together. Hopefully within the next 60 days Homer will be back on the road again. Hopefully.

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
Your project is coming along nicely.
I look forward to seeing your custom bed on it. My project is still on the collection of parts phase. Trying to find an 8 lug front differential. . I've most likely decided to go 4x4 on it...

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
My problem with pulling my truck is there will be no payment at all ,he is going to do it for free eventually with the understanding he can use the truck to pull his camper whenever he wants .

thanks. I believe it will be one of one. I have searched extensively & cannot find another 67-72 1 ton dually short bed step side. That is the only thing I have not been able to find. Every other thing has been done I could think of. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
Thanks. I also really enjoy the final stretch. seems to drag on but you can really see progress when you put in a good days work. Not like other portions of the build when it looks worse at days end.

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
No pics yet, but this past weekend I re-wired the underhood portion of Homer. No more long length wiring with power going into the cab thru a switch back out to the end user. Soo much more efficient with direct wired power source thru a relay with the switch only being used to activate the relay. Very cool. Course it took me wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy longer than it should have, but it's in and done now. Time to drop the distributor, plugs, plug wires, rad and make smoke pretty soon. Will post some pics when I get the time.

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
I will keep you all posted. Got the distributor, plugs, and plug wires in last night after work.
Thanks for the encouragement. I too can't wait to see this dude back together. Hoping to be there by the end of September.

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
I have found... the quickest way to dis assemble a motor home....and dispose of the waste by products, is to simply park it in tornado ally during the season and comback a few hours later.

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
Nothing much to take pictures of, but yesterday I got the radiator in, the power steering lines hooked up, changed oil and filter, & the transmission cooler lines. (doesn't sound like much but took all day). Poured gas in the carb and she fired right up. Had the dizzy out to install the motor. Still gotta lot to do, but was pleased the timing was close.
I will take some pics later today, but until I start adding more parts or wheels, not too much to look at. It hit a high of 117* yesterday and I have an outdoors shop set up. Low this morning is over 90*. Trying to get motivated to get out there is tough. Progress is progress though, so I'll take it when I can get it.
