1961 Double Door Camper Conversion

[SlashKirk]

Yes, left over material from roller over device
I run a Miller Challenger machine 220volt 170amp max. 023wire with 75/25 gas. Flux core is not suited for most of my needs.
Sold my extra tank to VWRick last year, sorry.

I have decided to strip it down, fix a little metal, and redo all the mechanicals including lowering it a few inches.

While I had the front beam out, found the spindles were trashed.....Aaron fixed those up for me.

Today I fixed the loose center pin.....I like it tight like that

Much easier with the beam out of the bus
A good thread about replacement:

That was a good thread. I haven't messed with mine yet. Everything seems nice and tight at the wheel when ive moved it around in the garage. It'll be cleaned up and redone at some point tho.
