Thanks Doc. I've been reading your posts since you are in the process of building one. Can you send or post pics of your build?
Are you using this as a combination work ruck/RV or pure RV?
Your price is right about what I figured it would cost to build something with this type of truck. It would be nice to have the u-haul type cab-over box for a convenient bedroom space. I agree that the U-Hauls are dogged out by the time they sell them.
I was figuring if I build one I would remove the lift gate and use the hydraulics for something else such as retractable stairs. I'd want to put a hitch on the rear to pull a trailer if needed, possibly even a wheel lift type for hauling cars if needed.
Thanks for the info. Can't wait to see your finished product.
