Pictures of my FWC on a 1978 ford bronco

Camper off to work on the water damage

Thanks Old Iron, that is exactly what I was talking about. I will have a loo and see if I see the HD sheeting that you mention. Who thought particle board hit by moisture, snow, rain, debris etc... at 60 mph was going to ever hold up?

Has anyone covered the front facing exterior corners of their campers with diamond plate or some other waterproof/ water resistant material. My camper is quite old (86) but that area has seen alot of wind driven rain etc.. over the years. I have painted it in the past, but feel like it could...

Love it! I wondered if the Stickers were named the same as the trucks they went with. As far as I know it was Blazer Bronco and Scout. Not sure if there was anything else. Do you have a lift on your blazer? I would like to put about 4 inches under mine, but worry that it will feel too top...

Sweet!! Coming along great

Sideliner window construction for Pokey

My windows are 2 at 44x 14 1/2 and 2 windows by the over cab bed 25x4 The large windows in mine are placed 18 inches in from the back corner and 4 inches down from the ceiliing. These measurements take into account the sewn seams. So the actual opening is about 2 inches smaller than the...

Here is a quick reference photo of how my windows were sewn into my sideliner.

Looking great Poky, I will upload some photos of my window and some measurements, but I don't know if they are the same as the newer ones. Mine was an 86 made for a Bronco, so it may not be the same for what you are looking for. The good news is that since you are making the sideliner you can...

This is looking great! I am glad to see someone else is interested in beefing up the roof for snow load. I am definitely going to do the same when I get into my roof. How much weight do you think it added? My current roof suffers from snowload deformation that stretched all of the screw...

Yep thats what I meant thanks. I wonder if it came with it from the factory and then people take it off when it deteriorates, or if it never came on the campers to begin with.

Just wondering if there is trim that is made to fit the old aluminum windows and doors to cover the mounting screws. Looking at the profile it looks as if it is made for some sort of slide on or pop on trim.

WVtradbow, I was curious how you attached your push bar to the emt for the front lift panel. I have a couple ideas in mind, but wondered how others have done it. Its really a convienence thing since the roof tends to stay easily while I climb up there and put it in place. Just trying to cut...

Thanks Squatch, I don't want to hijack the post. If there are any posts that you are aware of where someone modified the roof structure I would appreciate it. I am new to the board and I haven't really found anything pertaining to the roof structure, but someone that is on here alot may recall...

Hey guys, I was going to try a liner over my roof as well. Is the consensus to do a truck bedliner vs a Henry roof coating or even flex seal? Any idea how difficult it would be to dig down to the screws in the future if I finally get to the point where I replace the entire roof. Last dumb...

Tim, I am going to make mine taller when I replace my sideliner too. How tall do you plan on going? I think I am going to put a window in the front and possibly back end as well. Squatch, what do you mean by a full 360 wrap? Do you mean that the arctic liner isn't in the front and back? The...

Hey Tim, I just wanted to let you know I got my EMT lifts and struts mounted. I can't believe how well it works so far. This is how it should be from the factory in my opinion. Alot of my liner damage is from the old lift panels. Thanks for all of the information and tips.

Just thought I would throw in my 2 cents. I just got rid of my trashed plywood lift panels, built some EMT lift panels/tubes as others here have done and installed struts front and rear. I used 40lbs in the rear and 30lbs in the front both are 36 inch extended in length. Also I used the offset...

Hey Tim, Thanks so much for the picturesm,I REALLY APPECIATE IT. I removed the old panels and have my conduit ready. Went to bend it this morning and realized that I need another bender. Mine is for 1/2 inch conduit. :unsure: I came across another post where a guy bent his so that it...

Colorado CJ, Can you tell me if the 1/4 inch plywood was too thick? The originals are 1/8 inch. Just curious if the hinges were able to fold without difficulty due to the wood thickness/ Thanks, Q

Thanks norcalhusky, I know of a few around here other than mine, but there have to be more out there.

Does anyone else out there have a FWC on their old Bronco Blazer or Scout? I have one on my Bronco and just wanted to see who else had one and what things they have done with it. I feel like the access through my cab to my camper is one of the best parts of the setup. I have had this rig for...

Glad to hear it is still performing well. Thanks for the additional tips. A few questions.You say it is less intrusive into the bed, but is it possible to leave the mattress there? Could you snap a photo of the mechanism with the top down? Not sure if it is possible, but I would like to keep...
