Well, it took a few months for the rain to stop here (as usual) and it wasnt really till June that I was able to really get to work on the truck habitation build/rebuild.
Soooo many things to do... Here is what Ive done so far:
Installed the overhead cabinets that I built in the spring at either end of the bed.
Put a big decal on the rear wall of a Leunig cartoon that felt appropriate for people following the truck to read :)
Tore out all the wooden framing and redid it with aluminium for the bed and the bench seats and then reinstalled all the solar power/battery system and three large water tanks in the sub-floor.
Designed and bent and welded an aluminium center console with a lock for the cab.
Rebuilt the framing for the kitchen cabinet in aluminium.
Fitted it with sink, stove, water kegs, and drawers.
Cut a huge hole in the side of the truck and turned it into an access door with latch and gas-lifts for under the bed (the "garage")... Still need to build the large slide-out tray for it.
3D printed a mounting case and extended the wiring from the solar charger/inverter control panel so its our from under the seat where it can be seen and used easily
Built the basic framing for the pantry cabinet
Installed the water tank/heater... still have to do all the plumbing tho)
Installed the false-floor framing for the shower/toilet stall.
Glued in the side wall and floor for the shower stall.
Installed a solar heated water tank and the traction boards on the cab roof.
Thats what Ive got done so far... Soo much more to do... It will take me the rest of the summer just to get it roughly back to where it was last year... But then I have a week long trip around BC to take at the start of October... First "shake-down run with the new interior... Looking forward to it... b ut have to get the plumbing all installed for that trip so very busy for now.
