Got to love wiring... fun and frustrating at the same time. Been doing a lot of it around here. Lots more to go. Thanks for the video! George.

The video is great, you need to keep promoting your channel. Is not hard.

need more time for projects!

You will need to seal your cubbies...front of bed upper corners ... three piece bed design of toyota LEAKS LIKE SIVE ... and then there's your tailgate area ... good luck

Love it!

Good job man! Looks great!

Nice clean install Bob👍 Jason

I've had some reports that the audio on this one can only be heard in the left ear. This isn't the first time it has happened, but I believe I've found the culprits. First, the wireless transmitter I wear has a small button on the side to switch between mono and stereo which has a tendency to change to mono output when accidently bumped. Second, the soundcard on my PC seems to be putting out a single central audio to the headset so everything is heard in both ears no matter what. Everything sounds normal when editing, but after being uploaded splits to the left ear mono mode. It's very aggravating and I will be purchasing some new hardware in the near future.

Excellent colour choice. Looking to do a 3 burner 1966 426D and i think the lighter meadow green will be the answer.

It's gorgeous! I just got a 413F that I am gonna rehab over the winter. THanks for the inspiration!

Your videos has been my go to for years now.

super easy to follow along. the grandkids using part...nah..Uber Eats i think

I am enjoying watching the truck come together, and yes I do know what biased tape is🪡😂

Bob, Your video was so helpful. I have two of my dad's stoves, and I'm working on one now to bring it up to snuff. It was helpful to go through video 1, 2, 3. I'm a little intimidated to work on cleaning the tank but I'll take my time and use this stove on my camping adventures. Thank you!

Great setup, Bob. I like the idea of using the 12/24 volt converter to get faster charging from the vehicle. You also covered all the bases by giving yourself multiple ways to charge (shore power, vehicle charging, and solar). That is going to be handy. Jason

Going to be ready for the Big Trip this September? Nothing like being in a sweat box this time of year. Thanks for sharing! George.

Looking good Bob! I didn't even know you could still get shellac. Turned out nice! Maybe you mentioned it and it got past me, but I was just curious why you did shellac on the sides but stain+varnish on the top?

Looking good

Wow! 45 hours? I built a entire foamie in 47 hours. Crazy! Looks good though. Thanks for sharing! George.

Make more Topo Toppers videos

I have a theory that explains the results we take for granted. I've been writing the story you describe for some time, as part of what caused the example you wonder about. Your comments around the 14-minute mark sound exactly like the actions I've been describing in my work! All the rocks around where you were standing showed heavy tumbling and erosion by fast-moving water. The water didn't come from Bonneville. Bonneville was the result of the flood that caused the damage you speak of, the water coming from farther from the east, across Wyoming. Bonneville emptied south, except for the Great Salt Lake, once much larger, because there was no outlet, but most of the water flooding southwesterly, eventually finding the Colorado River from the western side, even as another trapped body of water worked its way west from the center of the Colorado Plateau.

Very probably, the volcanic ash was contemporary with the silted dirt, picked up when the water that overwashed the entire western US, south of the Snake River Valley, carving all those beautiful canyons and hoodoos. The material carried away was deposited in many places far from their origins. It wasn't long ago, only 2,750 to 4,500 years ago. A lot of mountain-building at the same time, with volcanic ash falling like snow. A tsunami easily a half-mile high washed over the newly-risen Colorado Plateau, carving the wonderland of canyons and mesas it's known for, continuing west until water lapped at the tops of the Sierra Nevadas and Cascades. Volcanoes were erupting like mad, whole forests were wiped out by the onrushing waters. Everything in the region was wiped off the face of the earth, even as new landscapes emerged.

What is the best way to light up a colman stove from the late 50s. I just got it brand new in the box , never used . Should I just go for it ?

A good start to your project Bob, floor in, the rest will be reasonably straightforward. Till next chapter, all the best to do.

In the beginning man created the floor.... Last two videos I am only getting audio on one channel. Might check your software settings. Thanks for the video. George.

Funny! I was just rewatching your last video yesterday. Hope the new camper works out for you! George.

Hello there Bob and how are you bud, nice looking new camper setup, looks like there's plenty of space for you in any bad weather, unfortunately I won't be seeing you on the road as there's a big ocean between us. All the best to you and see you next vid.

it is good to see a video from you again. the camper looks really nice and I look forward to seeing more videos about it. what a neat project!

Nice intro!

Guess you won't be needing those lost tent poles 😂

Well explained, clear and straight to the point

Brake cleaner is known carcinogen. BAD STUFF

Great lesson is business ethics … Coleman built these like they were out to do right by all of their customers. I own two, have had them for a couple decades, and will inherit my dad’s someday. If only everything was made this way … 👍👍

I took one of these apart for the first time today. After two tries of completely loosening the generator tube, I noticed that just beyond the threads, there's a bit of a bulge on the end that goes into the valve body. It's a bit unnerving to do at first because one doesn't want to deform the brass, but a firm tug will pop it loose. Similarly, a firm push will reseat it before threading the tube back into the valve body.

Does it matter what color the drip tray is painted?

Very Nice !!

Is the shape of the generator important? Would a round u shaped tube work?

I believe the actual true color code matched the Jeep color green back then which was the 🫒 green color.

I believe the actual color code is olive green powder coating paint and clear coating is mixed together as paint batches mixing and producing them to.

Regular old pump gas is not gonna hurt these things, just don't leave it in there. but then again you should leave any fuel in it.

Good vid but must chime in again. In my case on one of my stoves. The fuel tank was rusted. Generator leaking and questionable. Too many small parts to fail. Absolutely too expensive to buy original parts. Successful solution was to convert to propane. Cheaper and safer. After a complete and intense cleaning, some paint, stove works like a champ. It would be great to have an original, complete stove. But cost, and most important safety, the propane generator is the way to go. And I refill my cans. So cost is minimal. I love those old stoves and lights. Yes Butane/Propane has its faults. But if there is a safer way to distance myself from gas fuels. So be it. Great job showing the break down and the parts. Many thanks. Peace from Texas

Choose paints that are fuel-resistant. This is especially true for the fuel tank. Automotive engine enamels are heat-resistant and fuel-resistant. If you do not use fuel-resistant paint, when you spill fuel onto the painted surface, the fuel will dissolve the paint.

Nice job 👍🏻

My neighbor gave my father a 1954 in the box 425 b model they said it didn't work my father took it apart and cleaned everything works like new

Great video. Very informative. Thanks. I’m looking for a 426D from 74, like the one I had when I was a young man.

My Coleman 413-E has the copper-colored tank. I recently noticed that the control valve is getting difficult to turn. It does not turn smoothly or easily as it did before. Do I need to replace the packing or is there another method to free the valve up?

I too appreciate all your videos Bob. I also was able to restore my dad's old stove from watching/following hour videos. I figured he had it back in '68 or so. Looks, works great. My paint job wasn't the best tho 😀. Thanks!

thanks so much, mr. sagebrush! i enjoy your thorough, clear, concise, yet easy going explanations. coleman stoves are as american....gosh,.... as apple pie. let's be honest here!!!! their ingenious prelighting system is pretty awesome, and has stood the test of time. heck yeah, dude!
