Yep brand new cab, well....brand new condition anyways. Off a 1991 F150 short box. 1 owner truck, blown 302 engine, scraped the whole thing!







Hell no, all the bondo it would of tooken for this, was cheaper just getting a new cab!

Nice John you going to paint her? I can see how you would want a new cab I bet you wore out boots prety fast with your feet draging on the ground all the time!

Kind of off topic but this thread was F***** from the begining. I know you will like this John it is like my truck meets your camper . She will be the ultimate hunting/ camping rig I can still tow the horse trailer with it on! picked it up last night for $200

Nice old camper! That's how we first started out! Had an old full size 12ft. 1977 Shamrock slide in camper, on my F250. Was a heavy beast! That's why I had to add timbren springs to it, or else the front wheels were hardly on the ground.


You had a great deal for 200$!!!


And then in 2000, bought the motorhome, and had that since. No plans to get rid of it anytime soon either, ain't no where I'm gonna find another one like it, or one to match anyways.

Yeah $200 I couldnt belive it either no leaks accept one small leak in the closet that they already fixed. The fridge is an ice box so it will always work. The heater I dont really trust so I will use electric for now, stove works great. They put down vinyl floor in it but I am thinking about doing tongue and groove wood floor that was scrap from a project on base. I weighed the truck on the way home 8100 lbs not bad! I love it!

Vinyl flooring is great, as it's easy to clean messes, or sweep up sand from the beach etc. but I find it has no style.

My motorhome has Parkay hardwood flooring, previous owner did it. Really love it! But if I was to do it, I'd use floater floor, much lighter. But I do like better Parkay. Matches great with the darker color interior it has.






Wow this thread went from an accident to campers
