Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
Well now you don't have to "bake from scratch". You got a recipe right here. Old Homer needs a brother. Believe it or not I would not be opposed to doing another one someday. I've figured out a few tricks for the next one.

Thanks advanced design. Up until today all I had was a "Vision" in my head of what it could look like and the jury was still out. I think once the bumper, lights, steps, etc are in place it will trim out nice.

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
Before and after;
Yeah, I know. It's not after till it's done, but I think you get my drift.

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
If I could build mine the way I see it in my head, I'd do a crew cab conversion, cummins power and probably a flatbed/fifth wheel compatible rig. Just a thought.
But I love yours a lot. |

That would be cool. Lot of work, but cool as heck when you got done.

Thanks A. J. I dig it too. Actually it's the same body color (not white roof) it came from the factory with. After painting the inside of the cab we painted the roof, and when I saw that white against the tan I decided to not paint the body med. olive. I see those pretty olive trucks and sometimes wonder if I made the right decision. But hey, I was going for something different.

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
Looks awesome, I want one now. I much rather have this color then the olive green. I just think it fits the short wheel base design better.

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
71Sleeper. Thanks man, I appreciate it. Yeah, I love the color combo too, just always have had a soft spot in my heart for the med olive green trucks. Maybe next time.

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
I will for sure Talk to you if I do. I would be curious about maybe grafting a fleet side bed. Just to be different

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)
Actually the grafting step side fenders onto a long fleet side bed has been done. Most look goofy. One yellow slammed truck looks awesome. I looked at that possiblility myself, just couldn't fall in love with it. I also bought a flat bed thinking I would put it on, just couldn't do it. No offense to those with flat bed, just not hot rod enough for me.
