Got the roof rack, back rack, and ladder done! The racks are made of 3/8" 6061 bar stock, the ladder rungs are .080 sheet metal bent into C shapes. The roof rack really added a lot of rigidity to the nose of the camper. For those interested, currently the COG is about 12" behind the front wall...

We'll start off this post with a screen shot of the model that we're working off of. It's not as visually complete as the slick looking concept image in the first post. This model is an accurate representation of what we're building, it contains the part files that we can send to the plasma...

In that year they probably do share a similar chassis, I'm not really sure. That is a "3rd gen" truck. Mine is a "4th gen" truck. They went through a pretty major chassis/ suspension redesign between the two. On the 4th gen trucks, a 2500 is coil sprung in the rear and a 3500 is leaf sprung. A...

You have a long open C channel frame, I have a short fully boxed frame with a giant goose neck hitch cross member. I would expect your frame to flex. I appreciate the feedback though, sounds like I had better do some testing either way.

I think .040 would be plenty strong. I honestly didn't know those rolls existed until you referenced them. Thanks a lot, now I have to start over! Just kidding.

The rendering in my first post is more of a concept rendering, and should not be referenced for construction. Although I definitely understand your concern. Roof rack, ladder, bike rack, etc will be integral to the exo-skeleton and add to the overall structure. The spare tire will be tied to the...

Thanks for the reply. I plan to overlap the aluminum side by building one of the panels with a 2" flange overhanging that can then be bonded to the other panel. On the inside it will get some kind of trim bonded to both sheets of wood. This is only a problem in one joint on each side and one on...

Thanks for the question! We already are stretching our real estate with an 8' floor on a short bed frame. We want the shorter wheelbase of the short bed truck for better off road maneuverability.

Bump!

Located in Paso Robles, CA. $700 This contractor shell would be a great starting point for an expedition style build. I had a really hard time finding one for my short bed truck. My plans have changed and I'm going a different direction. It's not in perfect condition, but all the doors function...

Big price drop! We are itching to start our next project, full time expo life! Time to sell off the fleet!

Miles on the ODO 206k, about 5000 on it since the swap. Mileage on motor and trans is unknown, they came from a shop that duramax swaps suburbans.

Thanks for the replies! Cbogbo I encourage you to reach out!

I agree with above. Whoever aligned this didn't understand how the double adjuster works. The adjuster sleeve needs to have about as many threads showing as the tie rod end.

Delivery to western US is negotiable.
