'91 K5 Four Wheel Camper

This is the build for my 1991 V1500 Blazer, AKA the K5.3. It started out life being sold to the U.S. Government with a 350 TBI/700r4/241 combo. 4 years with a 5.3/700r4 Combo and now moving to an 8.1L Vortec and NV4500 5-speed.

Got the shift levers, bezels and boots finalized today. They will look much better once he throws in some jute and rubber floor mat.

And got the power steering line from the hydroboost routed and secured with some sturdy stand-off brackets. I’ve found using a 1996 L29 hydroboost to pump hose works best with this particular power steering pump but the hose routes on the opposite side of the master so that is why some sort of bracket must be concocted to support the long tubing. It’s the same set up as on my Suburban

I'll work on some sort of mounting bracket for the Tildon clutch reservoir tomorrow

You bastard! I saw the notification you posted in the thread and then I see that. The horror!

Given the pranks we pulled on you during the desert trip I'd say I had it coming, but holy crap!

Good thing my 7 year old daughter wasn't looking over my shoulder as to what Ian and I were making either. In fact, it was covered with a shop towel while it was in the vice letting the epoxy set up and she and her neighbor friend kept passing through the garage.

I was wondering how you got by that super-sleuth kid you have there. Can't get much by her.
 
What size battery / setup did you end up going with on your build?

I am trying to plan a few steps ahead of where I am at in my rebuild and I am a bit overwhelmed with electrical options and planning. I think eventually having solar would be nice. But I am trying to get away with using a 2nd battery in the engine compartment and pretty much rely on the alternator for charging. So far a deep cycle AGM group 78 / 34 seems to be the most obvious choice. The low AH is concerning though.
