clemson55 replied to the thread 1964 Trailblazer Chief Camper Build.Last panel went on, finished up some framing in the roof area on the inside, lots more fiberglass patching. Ditched the old jack, cleaned up the rust, new jack and safety chains, started in on the wiring. Started getting lights in place... -

clemson55 replied to the thread South medow creek trail conditions?.I went to the Bell Lake split and the snow line was still about 1k above me I think. Exactly as that little "Y" split on the map shows.

clemson55 replied to the thread Wheeling and Exploring in MT.OnX is better for land information and I have found their trail (hiking) information to be a little more accurate. Gaia is better for roads and I love their route drawing features. They both have their place.

clemson55 replied to the thread South medow creek trail conditions?.I was just up above potosi on saturday and that snow map is surprisingly accurate, maybe slightly low but overall good.

clemson55 replied to the thread 1964 Trailblazer Chief Camper Build.Next panel is rough in place, have to put a couple more pieces of framing in first but ran out of wood. Started fiberglass patching some of the numerous holes as well.

clemson55 replied to the thread 1964 Trailblazer Chief Camper Build.Another panel and some framing knocked out yesterday.

Yes to the flashing idea, if you put it on both sides it looks like it was on purpose!

clemson55 replied to the thread 1964 Trailblazer Chief Camper Build.Another few days goes by, another panel goes on.

clemson55 replied to the thread 1964 Trailblazer Chief Camper Build.Found a few minutes sunday afternoon after getting back from a trip to get a couple things done. New door hardware is in, will probably have to make some adjustments once it goes back into the frame and into the camper. First piece of siding...

clemson55 replied to the thread Wheeling and Exploring in MT.Haven't explored the area at all other than just passing through a couple times. You can rifle hunt during the rut in the backcountry HD though so I'm planning to make it happen.

clemson55 replied to the thread 1964 Trailblazer Chief Camper Build.May find some scrap aluminum and get someone to tig a patch onto this panel to fill the gap. Removing this one panel isn't nearly as big of a deal, or they may be able to swing by and weld it in place.

clemson55 replied to the thread Wheeling and Exploring in MT.Heres the spotted bear MVUM, which covers the limits of the driveable area adjacent to the backcountry area I will be trying to reach. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd495962.pdf I'm specifically interested in 568 that goes...

clemson55 replied to the thread 1964 Trailblazer Chief Camper Build.Back tracking at this point would involve removing hundreds of screws, like 40' of butyl tape, at least that much in caulked seams, wire brushing all the panels again, for about a 1.25" gap at its widest and 3-4' in length. Just doesn't seem...

clemson55 replied to the thread 1964 Trailblazer Chief Camper Build.The old aluminum panels are what give it character.

clemson55 replied to the thread 1964 Trailblazer Chief Camper Build.Made some more progress on panels this weekend. Drivers side has all 4 panels on now. I also ran into my first real hiccup so far in the build. The drivers top front panel is about 1.25" off at the top (first photo). My template for framing...

clemson55 replied to the thread Wheeling and Exploring in MT.Certain roads close as early as 9/1 but most seem to be 11/30 unless the MVUM is out of date.

clemson55 replied to the thread Wheeling and Exploring in MT.I'm planning a hunting trip east of hungry horse this fall. I'll give you some FS roads to scout out of you are interested.

clemson55 replied to the thread 1964 Trailblazer Chief Camper Build.Yeah it's amazing how little structure is in these things. I guess all the rigidity came from the metal panels not really the structure underneath. Not through yet, loooong way to go, but staying motivated.
-
Wow, pretty amazing how chincy some things are/were made, this mass produced camper barely has any substantial structure. Also makes you realize how relatively easy it would be to fab up a really nice solid homemade camper. Good on you for...

clemson55 replied to the thread 1964 Trailblazer Chief Camper Build.The door on this thing felt very flimsy so I opened it up and found basically no structure and cardboard insulation. Built in some structure and put foam insulation in. Sadly I forgot to take a picture before putting it back together. :doh:

clemson55 replied to the thread 1964 Trailblazer Chief Camper Build.Last roof panel went on over the weekend. After which I reframed around the vent and put the vent cap back on. Started on the driver side paneling after that, test fitting this first panel was a pain in the ass, I needed the panel in front...
