Re: I am Back!
Well I know all you guys want to see is the motor and guts, but all I have done so far is start ripping out the bed- wood on the way, lowered the seat- much needed, and put on a few miles before winter. I also took these pictures and thought I would share.

 College? LOL, I am still paying off that mistake! As for the seat, I just cut down the brackets. Pretty easy and you can also get some added recline if you cut the back down little more than the front. Measure twice here!!! Super comfortable now and my head isnt in the roof anymore.

Re: I am Back!
How much did you lower the seat? I assume just until the seat hits the floor? :-) I actually talked to Fritz about this awhile back. He used a newer seat though.

Re: I am Back!
Ok fellas, been a little while but I have made some progress.
First off, I ripped almost every license plate out of the bed. They were even on the rear tubs. So anyways those are out and I just got some wood in. Hell with the story, you all want pictures all the time so here goes...  IMG00309-20111109-1304 by Malibob, on Flickr This one shows some of the plates- THEY WERE EVERYWHERE  IMG00596-20120610-1628 by Malibob, on Flickr Here is minus some  IMG00614-20120620-1656 by Malibob, on Flickr This is when I got the wood in. My templates are still in there too.  IMG00615-20120620-1657 by Malibob, on Flickr Another, I wanted to keep it as tight as I could around the tubs  IMG00659-20120622-1513 by Malibob, on Flickr Here it is with all the wood in  IMG00660-20120622-1513 by Malibob, on Flickr And another, not much bed but thats the price to pay to get low I guess.  IMG00662-20120625-1648 by Malibob, on Flickr Here is my homemade stain. I wanted it to look like old barn siding, I was skeptical  IMG00663-20120625-1701 by Malibob, on Flickr And then it dried, I love it  IMG00665-20120625-1702 by Malibob, on Flickr I think that I lucked out.  IMG00666-20120625-1706 by Malibob, on Flickr The whole truck Not quite done yet, I have to rip out some more tin and add some real braces, then a piano hinge. Where the knot is is where I will access the filler for the fuel cell. Then bolt everything down with some galvi bolts. I took my good ole time but I think it is finally coming together.
