Awesome build on the truck like JD said. The camper will be a breeze. Time to customize. Mitch

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone.

 

I picked up some supplies like hydro oil and dicor for the roof vents. Still need to buy some sealant for all the other areas as well as a boat load of new screws.

 

When I get the top up, I'll post up some pics of the interior. I've been experimenting with re-sizing photos in order to post more than one at a time, so lets try this -

I finally got some time today to give some attention to the Alaskan. I filled the jack reservoir to the top will fluid and the top went up very nicely. It went up fairly evenly with only a little push needed at the right front corner once to help it . The jack action is strong with good resistance on the whole stroke. The front left piston is a leaker for sure but the others appear to be dry. The previous owner told me he had put new O-rings on the pistons last year and maybe he did. I think I will replace them all anyway with ones from the factory.

 

Also this week I ordered a case of sealant and a set of four Rieco-Titan 2000lb jacks. Also got the ball rolling on a new Pirelli seal from Alaskan.

 

Here are some more pics -

So now the goal is to get her cleaned up, sealed up and ready to go onto the 2017 F-250 in my sig. This truck is supposed to be built on 9/28 and arrive to me mid to late Oct.
