I have followed your thread; thanks for sharing! My biggest issue isn't the work, it's finding time to do it. I really wanted to get this done this summer but it's not likely at this point. Worst case I can tackle it over the winter when things slow down.

Plan on sleeping back there? What are your plans for ventilation?

Yep, this.

Local glass place was able to replace the lower portion of the window with tinted plexiglass for about $80. I'm happy with that. Will try to get it installed in the next day or two.

Very nice work! I really like the idea of using 2x2 Aluminum Extrusion.

You're killin' it, man. Nice job!

They are ICI Magnum RT steps.

Soooo...8 months later I was able to spend a little time on this. Funny how building fences, corrals, round pens, etc. get in the way of fun stuff. Removed the passenger side window to see if the local glass shop can replace the lower glass panel. I also got the rear roof board out last night...

Kenny, the bumper was built by a welding shop in Greely, CO. The flares are just standard, off-the-shelf jobs, nothing fancy. Sorry, can't remember the brand name. So far they are doing fine but I'll no after a winter of hunting and hard use.

Custom tuning can really help with this. Heck, even the preloaded SCT tunes are a huge improvement over stock on the 6.0. I use a modified version of the Eco City tune from Quick Tricks and it's excellent. I have a version with and without the exhaust brake feature activated. Tuning is money...

Sounds like a great little getaway!

I don't see mileage listed, but this looks like a solid platform: https://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/6175288179.html

Just when I thought all of the cool van names had already been used.:) That is a great looking van, and fantastic execution on the interior so far!

I like it. Good call on the bed length camper, too.

Love a fella who isn't afraid to scratch, dent, and otherwise modify his stuff to make it work. I dig it!

I feel your pain! Truck searches can be frustrating and one tends to get disappointed a great deal...in both people and trucks. Keep looking and the right one will come up.

Pretty cool conversion. PLEASE be careful with the sale. Your ad may put you at risk because buyers will think they are dealing with a female who is alone without any kind of support. Your offer to drive and meet will certainly make it attractive to scum bags.
