Slugs from that thing will go thru the Purp., thru the wall and take out an innocent three rigs down from you in the campground. It's pretty hard to aim when yu're freshly awakened from a sound sleep! No need to ask how I know - just believe that I do!Re: Total Rebuild of a 1979 Dodge Class CRollers? Well I had a friend that painted his car with a whiskbroom. I used a pump up weed sprayer to stain a shed once - looked ok.... Good luck with the job oldtrucker.Re: Fixing water damage on the old Dodge (pics)Boy, it's been a while - how ya doing on your rebuild? We're all chomping at the bit waiting for more info.Re: Total Rebuild of a 1979 Dodge Class CIt looks like you are reusing the original converter. You might take this opportunity to up grade to something better with some form of charge wizard. Most of those old ones don't charge the house battery all that well without boiling off the water. And, while you're wiring this thing - how about a switch to allow the converter to also charge the engine battery when you're plugged in over the winter.Re: Total Rebuild of a 1979 Dodge Class CI agree with 1995brave - especially since the positive post is just under that piece of sheet metal. If you can, you probably should turn the battery around so if it bounces, the hot post will not be a problem.Re: What did you do to your Class C MH today???Never could get a new starter for my GenRac genney. However, got the old one rebuilt for $45.00 -- works like a charm now! Even starts on the 2nd try. No more grinding the starter to death trying to start it, WOW! Going camping this comming weekend to celebrate. I'll have toast in the morning! LIFE IS GOOD....Re: Total Rebuild of a 1979 Dodge Class COldTrucker - Man, you're sure planning to hang a lot of weight back of the rear axle. If my memory serves, the water tank, black tank and gray tanks are also rear of that axle too. You might seriously think about that weight when the front wheels are bouncing down the road as you're driving to your favorite camp site. ...just some random thoughts while wondering how I'm going to be able to find the gas $$$'s to go RVing this year....Re: Total Rebuild of a 1979 Dodge Class Coldtrucker - know what you mean - the north side of my classy is covered in a greenish something. I was going to wash it today but, (sigh) it's raining again! If not raining, it's hailing or snowing or we're dodging tsunami's. Can't get a good day for working on the rig. The generator quit working and we're going out dry camping for a few days on the 20th. I think I'll just drive it as is....Re: Total Rebuild of a 1979 Dodge Class Coldtrucker - damn, she sure looks good just as she is! I'd be proud to drive her looking like that. Keep the build going and the picts coming in....eddieleeRe: Total Rebuild of a 1979 Dodge Class Cchinook440 - You're quite a woodworker! you make it look just like steel.... I believe you could use that table as a roll cage. All kidding aside - you did a bang up job on your conversion. I LIKE IT!..................eddielee
