Yup, it's a pop-up camper. We'll sleep where ever Dozer lets us!! Probably put him in the overhead sleeper and we'll use the couch. More room there!

Got pistons and rings for a good price. (Thanks PT) I'm going to get the crank checked next week. 600 cfm Holley and Edelbrock dual plane Aluminum intake ordered. Need to spec a cam next week and other misc. parts. Need to get heads checked out or replaced. Then the build begins!

Can't do that. Won't fit in bolted togethor. Can't remove the grills on the EB's. (another wonderful idea by Ford) Tranny is in place already and hopefully good!

It even drives now! Drove it in and out of the garage today. Even has good oil pressure!

Found my vaccum leak and got the choke adjusted last week. Fires right up and runs good now! Probably have to start on the disc brakes next.

It's been kind of buried. Finally was ambitious enough to dig it out, and it got warmer out too, that helped!

Water tank and wiring. Furnace works too, but no picture of the hot air (was going to post one of the ex....) I'm having problems with the outside light on the back of the camper. It only works intermitantly and I'm not sure why.

The light socket was a bit rusty. Cleaned it up and it works now! So much for the easy stuff. On to the disc conversion!
