Went and picked this homemade job up a few months back. I've done a small amount of work so far on it. I have big dreams... We'll see how far I get. I was sort of on the lookout for a 22re 2wd pick up so I could make dump runs and hardware store runs in and not mess up my 60 loading lumber in and out of it. Then my wife started giving me guff about having another car parked around the house. So I thought... This solves my problem and now I'm only parking half a car. Luckily she thought it was cute and I hustled this kids picnic table into the deal as well. Originally I was looking for an 85 toyota pickup bed trailer but I lost one that was all ready lifted with big tires trying to lowball the dude like a jerk. This one came up a few weeks later. This one was a lot cheaper and I dig the color scheme and the patina so I'm ok with it being a 77 and not the 85.
My plans are to build a tube rack that can support a roof top tent and build a set of drawers below in the bed. I was thinking of having a custom mattress made for on top of the drawers and sewing up a canvas cover for it. This way the kids can sleep in the RTT and the wife and I can sleep right below them in the bed. Just brain storming... Open to all your ideas as well.
