What is Bad Bertha?

First off, Bertha is the name of my truck, a 1951 Ford body mounted on a 4x4 chassis. Bertha was built with a bundle of different parts. I just used whatever was available and cheap, but it works and wheels pretty well. She is no trailer queen and can be seen running 70mph down the interstate just moments before running some of the hardest terrain the east coast has to offer.

Project: Camper Van

Project: Camper Van - a 1989 Dodge Ram 250 conversion van. While it isn't the typical tow vehicle, after a few modification it should serve as an awesome camper and "ok" flat tow vehicle for Bertha. If it is able to run 65mph in the flats and get 10mpg, I will have equaled the highway performance of Bertha, but added the convenience of a conversion van. My hope it to use it a few times a year when I bring the family along to wheeling events.
