Long overdue. Made a new fixture to hold side covers when machining the bolt holes. It may look simple, but it has to be accurate. The castings have a top and bottom half. They can be offset from each other during casting. The bolt holes are referenced from the top side. Buy them here. www.12bolt.com/store

Great design Tom , very impressive
Many thanks!
nice engine! what is the diameter of the headers?
1 5/8
A lot of thought and effort went into this build and it shows! Love the design, its very inspiring. I would really like to know more about the bed lift system. I hope to do a build in the future. Best wishes to you and your family.
We hope to do a vid on the bed lift in the future.
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IS SO WONDERFUL MOST PARENTS WOULD SMOTHER THEIR CHILD BUT YOU HAVE HELPED HIM TO FIND HIS WINGS AND FLY, I SUFFER FROM CHARCOT MARIE TOOTH WHICH COMES UNDER THE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY HEADING. MY PARENTS DID THE EXACT OPPOSITE. FLY WITH HIM WHEN YOU CAN,
Thank You. He is out on the road with it as this is written.
Looking for your store on eBay. I’m looking for a carburetor for a 66 230 Chevy.
Hey how are u i have one but it has a problem in centering so the cut isn t equal in the sides of exaust valve seat do u know wht s the problem
Proper pilot size. Remove material too fast. Use single angle cutters at times
Proper pilot size. Remove material too fast. Use single angle cutters at times
Way cool what a dream machine I hope you have fun camping with it hope your dreams all come true for you and dad and others in family
Engineering is amazing. Very inspiring build. My main question is how did you reinforced the roof? In UK thise boxes come with super thin fibreglass with minimum support, was this the case with your one? All best in your adventures
The roof on these are made from aluminum sheeting, Galvanized steel U channels provide support every 2 feet. I can lightly walk on the roof.
Do you have any social networks? Here in Brazil we have many Chevy 250 and 292 prepared for the track with turbo or natural aspiration, we use many parts from Summit Crower Comp Cams
Cool to see the "roots" of chevy I6 turbo builds. The new chevy generation is starting to get ahold of the "4200 Vortec" and boosting them to big numbers. ( Couple people on 800+hp on stock crank ) "Atlas" 4.2L inline 6 with VVT with 275 tq / hp from factory found in trailblazers and other rebadges of it.
massive hug and good vibes sent to you
Where you located?
It appears to have an air/drain gap at the front bottom. Does that cause wind noise?
The air gap does not bother.
@@telowe2000 thanks. I'm trying to build one for my class B to help diffuse the wind from the panels and compressor on the roof.
This is a year old as I'm watching it - I'm curious about that air dam And im wondering how you're doing since it's been so long
The air dam works very well. Having traveled over 30K miles so far.
Jacob is out on the road with as of right now. July 19 2024
awesome set up! but it would appear that your trying to get rid of your son?????
Not trying to get rid of him. Letting him live his life.
What a fantastic built ❤ and what lovely parent you have to make you dream come true. Wishing you many years of adventures and freedom.
🤨🤔😁😆😄 I LOVE your dad's "sign language-hand signals" reminding you how convenient it is to have the cutting board right over the trash can. 😁😄👏🏻
😮 You DEFINITELY have MORE kitchen storage/cabinets than we do in this 1600 sq ft house in Las Vegas, Nevada. 🥲🤭
🙊😫😢😭 I am ONLY 1 MIN & 11 SECONDS INTO THIS & I AM ALREADY BAWLING MY EYES OUT! 😢😭😭 YOU MY DEAR... are SO FORTUNATE to have such loving parents who love and cherish your dreams and wishes. ❤ That man standing next to you is RADIATING SO MUCH COMPASSION AND KINDNESS AND IT IS THICK AND DENSE. What an amazing video I have been suggested to watch from Y.T. ❤😊
Thank you so much!! Dad
You Have to Love this Young and his relationship with Dad!!
Hi there. How do you move the cutter away from the bore when it is on its way up?
It is a boring routine. The tool does a side step before retracting. You can see it, watch close.
I love your camper, especially the window to get in the cab!! That's the only way I would have one!! I hope you have the time of your life!°❤😂😂😂😂🎉
What is timing set on?

What is the length and pin size on the 292

@telowe2000 thank you I thought they looked long.
Brilliant. Gotta save those six bangers.
Thanks Tom, now I have less guilt for giving my old set that no one wanted, I kept one, to the recycle man!
Dang! Who’s that great camera man!?
looks to me like your not holding the drill at the right angle, not square with the block.
I've been watching van life videos very frequently on youtube lately as it's a dream of mine to build something and be free to go wherever! I stumbled upon your video and saw the captions had muscular dystrophy in them and said to myself no way. I have muscular dystrophy as well, diagnosed at 2.5 years old, I have emery dreifuss and as a result had a heart transplant when I was 15 so I relate to your son a lot. It put a huge smile on my face to see someone get the help to do what they love and bring it to life! If your son wants to reach out with any questions or just have someone to talk to that can relate let me know! Happy Traveling
Glad to hear from you. He just left yesterday on a summer adventure. Don't expect him back until Sept. We just built a wheel chair for him that can let him journey out better. It is with him. you can contact him jacob on the road on FB
@@telowe2000 I will do that! I did see the wheelchair picture on Instagram I believe, looked badass!
Are you selling this to replace or are you retiring?
Just a video showing operation. Sold this long ago.
I would love to have the money to head my Chevy inline 6. 250. Head to get done by you
A 12 bolt video to end my exciting day!? I can’t wait to watch it!!!! :)
Hello, I loved your video. My heart was out to your son and you. I am a caregiver and I’ve been taking care of a young lady with multiple sclerosis for about 14 years now I have her on the weekends. I’m very sorry to hear about your wife, I think you’ve done a wonderful job building the truck out with your son. I know he will enjoy being on the road. The solar panels on the top were awesome. Are they the flexible sunflower panels? I would love to have a truck like that. That’s for sure anyways God bless you guys.
The panels are flexible. Simply glued to the roof. He will be leaving again soon to go on another adventure. The camper was a family project with many friends also helping.
@@telowe2000 thank you. God bless you both. Very sorry to hear about your wife. May Gods comfort surround you both.
Thanks for posting! I was just looking at my buddies leaking valve cover today and wondering what else we could try.
This seems to be the only way to do this job. Ordering soon; appreciate this video! So much for my hopes of leaving the radiator in the car to do this I can’t afford to pull my 250 at this time and since the old balancer hasn’t failed and ruined everything/my compression test checks out.. why would I
Who makes the camshafts?
We have the cams at www.12bolt.com/store
@@telowe2000 Ya, but who makes them? Militia Racing?
Custom made for 12Bolt. Nobody else will dare to stock them.
Best build ever! God bless you sweetheart. Live your dream!
Really cool well thought out camper van. Love the space compared to a van.

Sounds great. Did you see the coolant hose collapsed?

That is just awesome, nothing like the sound of a Chevy inline 6 turning over 4000 rpm! I would like to know the HP and Torque that engine makes. Thank you for sharing this video with us!
Man that sounds good!
Holy crap! That's the highest winding six shooter I've ever heard! Thanks Tom.
Sounds awesome! Which cam!
She was humming.
that's going to be a nice hotrod engine!
