Who is just starting on a truck conversion for jeep hauling and living quarters on my off roading vacations.
my name is Jim and I currently work on trucks and fork lifts for a living.

I bought a F-700 and a 24 foot uhaul box for the basis of my toterhome.
I am still in the planning stages at this moment.

Yes, welcome to the forum, Mekanic. I think Doc built his camper on a U-Haul, or similar. And RanD is just wrapping up the build on a like size box, maybe his is a bit shorter? Have you read his thread about the stealth camper? Ohio, my sister-in-law lives west of Cleveland. We drive over there from MN once in awhile to visit. Maybe we'll get to see your truck. That's cool how you mounted that box to your frame. You've got to check out BlizzND's build too.
