I bought a surplus military truck that I'm building into an RV! In this video I cover the purchase of the truck and some of the work I've done to get it to where it is today. / treygerman
Right on! And now I know the rest of the story. You sounded a bit like me when I first drove my LMTV away from the "lot." Great instructional video and introduction to fantastic world of LMTV/MTV!
That is going to be a "go anywhere" camper, the down side is the cost to drive it long distances. Reminders me of the MLVW's I use to drive back in the day. Good luck Cheers, Patrick
Thanks Patrick! Further down the road I've got plans to change the gears in the axles and maybe swap the engine to improve fuel economy, but the living area is priority #1.
The auction I won closed around $8000. With taxes, fees, and transportation to get the truck to Houston I ended up paying a little over 10k. Prices have gone up since I bought mine as more people have found out about these auctions.
John, I use this parts spreadsheet a lot: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15EAAnbRXqh4LJuFsBxOPNgC-ICHeJdeFltiSmE5jjSc/edit#gid=0 part number for the rebuild kit is Haldex/Midland RNT26A

Looking good. Can't wait to see what you do with the camper.
