That's great! I've got a 95 Coachmen Catalina fifth wheel. We don't get to use it much. Had it out since Friday. This is the first time that it's been used for over three days!

I had a 2001 Terry 27ft travel trailer, bought it new and used it a lot following the NASCAR circuit until about 3 years after I retired. Then it sat next to house being used as a guest quarters. It had only been out of the yard 3 times since 2009, so I sold it earlier this year. Two years ago I bought an '85 Esterelle, it's a French made pop up with solid sides and roof. We have used it a few times and is easy to set up, plus I can easily pull it behind the Flathead and even set up while still hooked to the truck.

That's a neat setup. I love the way the fifthwheels pull. Mine is easy to park too.

Finally a nice rain free day today. Gonna pull Edith out of the barn for a cruise in at Crossville tomorrow. I think she's feeling a bit neglected with me spending so much time working on Dollie



Rear fenders look to be repairable..but not by me





Bed off, also repairable





Good tailgate





Rear of frame looks as good as the front part





Truck driven down the road and back, about 1 1/2 miles, first time in many many years runs very good.





Cab off the frame





Frame section under cab shows that the entire frame is straight and solid





Front and rear windshields removed





Radiator shroud and cradle removed





Battery tray and exhaust Y pipe removed

Thanks, I'm building this one for the wife so it's going complete frame off. I actually pulled the engine and tranny out the other day but have not taken any pictures. I bought one of those cheap engine cradle/cart off ebay, but when I set the flathead on it, it started to fold up. So I had to run to Knoxville today to Harbor Freight and buy an engine stand. You can see my build thread here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ome-dolly.html
Trying to get things cleared up a bit and spend the next week or so on Edith, getting her ready for Truckstock 2015. 26 days till a bunch ( so far about 18) of FTE 48-56 guys get together at Fall Creek Falls State Park for 4 days. Looks to be one of our biggest ones yet, almost 40 people coming from TN, KY, GA, VA, FL, IL, MO, WI, MI, PA, NM and CA.

During the cold, icy days in Tennessee!


Pic taken for Winter 2014... I think sometimes in Jan 2015.

I got off work around 11:30pm and had to drive up to Knoxville which took 2 hours because all the snow on the interstate and stuff. Had a few slight spin but nothing major, went out and knock snow buildup off the tire and carry on. I think it kinda screw up the brakes a bit but the breaks is mostly working. Ouch.
