92 Truck+Camper Build

Is your side entry door worth the rear overhang/departure angle limit?

That thing is a unit.

The height is another killer. It is not confidence inspiring off road. None of my setup is good for off road though when you factor in the kitty bitty 29" tall tires and hilariously long wheelbase. We manage to stay at primarily unimproved sites, but our options are definitely limited. I came real close to scraping a jack getting into Rabbit Ears Pass but it was worth it. It's us and 3 kids, I'm not sure I'd want to cram that many people into anything smaller. My friend has a triple slide on a newer F450 and his sits plenty high off the ground. I'd never fit into my hangar with that.

Good going. Sounds like your set up works well for you and your family. See your on the look out for a 3500HD.

Tell me about it, we're two kids now & its cozy. Good thing we like the outdoors (any weather). We'll probably keep the ol girl for now and make do with what we have. I'd love to slam a bunch of $$ into it but I'm not in the position to do that right now. Hopefully some day.

Truck has been sitting since Sept 2022. Life has got in the way, kids, no $$...

Currently have a problem where the engine dies when put in drive. Idles ok in park. Dies in drive. Fuel is almost 2 years old so I've got to drain that juice out first and foremost. Maybe spring time when it warms up we will get this pig running again.

Yanked the spare.

Too far gone? (Appears so...)

That spare is pretty nasty!

 

[92GMCK2500]

No doubt. Anyone know if you can source OEM steelies from anywhere?

 

[Supercharged111]

Junkyard? Fleabay? Kijiji?

 

[92GMCK2500]

Yeah, figured... the hunt begins.

Nice! I bet that was an SUV spare that was stored inside the vehicle. My Suburban's spare is the same six lug steelie even though it came with the aluminum saw blade wheels.
