Option #2 has arrived at Dad's shop! We're going over it today. It is a much better shell than the first one we saw and at 4.5k is much cheaper BUT more work is involved for sure. . As an old chevy Snap-On truck, this one is a bit nostalgic for me. Growing up a mechanic's daughter meant many hours at the shop. Seeing the "tootsie roll man" aka the tool truck was a highlight of the week. Dad got new tools, my sisters and I got candy. Win win! . So some features of this one are that it also has a lift gate, is wired and has a few outlets already. It has the best metal wall ever to hang plants on 😲😍🌱 and plenty of room for the dogs! . The main thing with this one is that it runs well. The goal today is to ensure it is mechanically sound. It's a gas engine with 80k miles but it has been sitting for a little while. We have found small things so far that we can fix. Fingers crossed we don't find any major problems! . #goingtiny #tinyescapebigworld #snapontruck #tooltruck #conversions #fixerupper #stepvan #snapon #snapontools #classic #chevybigblock #454 #tinyhomeadventure #tinyhouse #travel #newlife #goingwest #wegohard #diy #newstart #adventuretime #mechanicsdaughter #readyforchange #chevytrucks #chevrolet #smallspaceliving #welivetotravel #travellife #fixerupper #diycouple (at Matthews Imports) https://www.instagram.com/p/BziskRzly6x/?igshid=174f0pa9r838p

We are still on the hunt for the right truck! We have been eyeing two and this is one of them. It's a diesel with about 360k miles, so we are a bit hesitant with the 10K price. Though well taken care of diesels can last plenty more miles. . Some pros are the 7ft height (even in the cab!), a lift gate, a connected cab and insulation + walls added already. . We have another one we'll be checking out tomorrow. It's more work but much cheaper. That's more our style, but we'll see when we see it! . #findtheone #tinyhome #dieseltruck #conversion #recycle #reuse #tinylife #buildingahouse #tinyhouse #tinyescapebigworld #boxtruck #livesimply #internationaltrucks #whattodo #adventure #simplelife #movingwest #oregonadventures #nc #movingforward https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzg4fmBFKqt/?igshid=cqvtragtfg8e

My morning tea quote showed up for the day! I felt a bit of reassuarnce getting this one. 👌 . "Not all who wander are lost." 🌎 . We are wandering into a future very unknown with no guarentees, but things seem to come together day by day. ☑ . Today Vic is heading to the shop to check out an old tool truck to see if it might work for us. 🚛 . #tinyhomeadventure #planningstages #cbdtea #catmug #conversion #wanderlust #futuretogether #wander #outside #smallhomes #bettertogether #travel #lifeisshort #dontwastetime #goforit #worldtrip #love #tea #happiness #minimalist #familygoals #journeyblog #getoutsidemore #mothernature #truckconversion #fromNC #oregonbound #readyforthis #movingcrosscountry #headedwest https://www.instagram.com/p/BzaeOimlBa7/?igshid=t23nhs2ohn3a
