The Perfect Adventure Platform? SCAB 90's Diesel

[@JimSlim7031]

all the "oVeRlAnDiNg" tools who've spent 100k on their "rIgS" either hate you or want to copy your "pLaTfOrM". Things sick, looks like a good truck to drink some beers in after a surf

[@Sleeper7.3]

So real. Thanks man

[@foregonetrails]

I’ve been obsessed with service bed trucks lately. Think you’ve got a great setup!

[@elikultgen4853]

It sounds like you've got something I call "overlanding fatigue." There's so much hype, marketing, and aggressive advertising that it's exhausting after a while. I just call it endurance camping now. Great setup! I've got a 1st Gen Taco with a high-clearance flatbed with the side boxes you've described. I run out of room real quick even though I made it wider and longer than the stock bed. The service bed looks much more appealing due to the variety of boxes and storage options since I often have to empty a box just to get to something at the bottom.

[@Sleeper7.3]

@@elikultgen4853 Well put! Sounds like a sick setup

[@gromit848]

I was literally telling my wife about this type of setup with the service bed and the camper and here you've done it! It's better than I imagined

[@buddhaweatherby368]

I have been thinking very much along the same lines as a versatile platform. Currently, I have both a dedicated for travel 100 Series Toyota Land Cruiser and a 98 Tacoma for moderate truck things. Having 1 vehicle capable of hard travel and convertible back to ranching, logging, and construction has a ton of appeal. Well done man!

Bruh JP, this came up on my feed and I started watching this and thought this guy looks familiar. Haven’t really talked since high school but good to see you here! Excited to see some more content from you!

[@paulrogers6182]

Here I thought putting a truck camper in a service truck bed was my genius idea. I stand corrected. Damn it! Lol. Awesome build sir!

[@Sleeper7.3]

Haha it’s nothing new, but you definitely don’t see it too often. I found inspo in a bunch of old build threads from the early 2000s and it’s something I’ve always thought about. Kinda the cheap version of a modern aluminum Aussie tray with a slide in camper.

[@BrianSmith-ql5nj]

Super nice! Much better than big expensive rigs ive seen.

[@j.hyatt2776]

You should be able to do a 38 gallon rear tank conversion to add fuel capacity

[@andrewlawrence1169]

Insane setup

[@cameronkeith8110]

The more I look at conversion builds and things like this I feel better about spending the 10k to have my bus properly lifted and 4x4 swapped, it’s a cord econoline also a 7.3 and it has 130k miles and I got it for $1000, it’s getting pumped out right now I have a nice battery bank and I’ll have beds kitchen etc I’m so excited

[@mtnbound2764]

man i want something just like this. heavy duty enough without being overblown. old trucks are the best these days, you can actually fix them if they break.

[@morgangriffith6226]

Needs an Eezi Awn gutter mount rack over the cab. Sweet truck!

[@Sleeper7.3]

@@morgangriffith6226 Roof racks are for posers! Haha no but really I don’t have enough usable roof for a rack to be useful

[@morgangriffith6226]

@@Sleeper7.3 fair enough, I was just thinking to fill that gap, all personal preference!

[@Sleeper7.3]

@@morgangriffith6226 Totally. It’s crossed my mind so many times. It’s tough because I like to try and keep this truck period correct as much as I can, and there’s not many old farm trucks out there with roof racks. The gap isn’t terrible, but it’s definitely not great for aerodynamics. I’ve been working on a solution but haven’t nailed anything down yet

[@morgangriffith6226]

@@Sleeper7.3 now you got me looking at these trucks… found one but it’s a gasser

[@xcracer311]

I drive an 06 ram quad cab with a short bed and a GFC camper, the wheel base is only 2.5 inches longer than a gladiator and with stock suspension it also has a lot more ground clearance than the gladiator does stock

[@Sleeper7.3]

@@xcracer311 Such a rad setup!

[@S_fitz]

This is perfect. I’m planning to go pop up bed camper in my 71 K20. But hadn’t thought of the service bed idea. Btw, what part of the country do you live? Looks beautiful.

[@Logan_James_32]

Such a sick build!! Any future plans for it?

I’ve followed you on IG for a good bit. Love the truck dude. Cool set up and video
