No pictures but Things have been a little better around here lately. I had some extra money that we spent on the truck. I got some new body mounts and Add-A-Leaf springs front and back. (to help with the camper) Today we got the new body mounds installed. The two front bolts were a bear to get to and get out. They were corroded nearly in two so I replaced them. I'll install the new add-a-leafs in the next week or so.

Wondered why things had gone quiet on the Penny Farthing build Wes, Now We know. Are You Going to put a bike rack on the back? Thanks Marauder, got that A Team music buzzing through my head now.

I tend to bounce around a lot:o) But the nice weather is mostly t fault. We have also been doing a lot of yard work. Last fall our sewer quit working and I had to dig up the old line and install a new one. It ruined my whole back yard. There was a giant patch of wild roses and we ended up pulling them all out because the line went right under them. We took the last load of them to the dump today\o/ I've also been working on my shop. The back needed the rest of the Tin installed. We got 3 sheets up today\o/ I might even get the shop done this year?
I drove the truck around some today. Those new body mounts are great!!! They got rid of probably 90% of the noise and vibration that the truck had. I can't wait to get the new springs on. That's another project though:o)
Penny parts tomorrow:o)

Nice camper! The demountables are pretty rare here int he UK, most seem to be panel van conversions or coachbuilt on a truck/cab chassis - any pics of the inside and all the creature comforts? I still miss my old Bedford camper, almost as much as the kids miss it :(
I guess with that grille, it's on the way to being a custom / hotrod camper ;)

Started on the springs today. Good thing that I decided to work on them. One was broke :bang: It was a long day under the truck. Rusty, stuck, bolts were everywhere. But I got it apart and some replacement springs found so tomorrow she will go back together\o/
