Making a box bigger?
Heya folks! I just bought a GMC Endura 3500 cutaway with the plan of making it a mobile salon and a travel vehicle. I got it for a really great price, since it needs only about $500 worth of work to make it run well. But now I'm worried that there isn't enough space in it for what I want to do. I feel like if I can add a little more head space and extend the bed over the cab (ideally about 30 inches), I can make it work. The interior height is 5'7" now. I'm not sure how feasible that would be or what I can expect to pay for materials. I'm learning to weld now, and I have a tech shop membership and friends that can help. So I can do the work myself and I have a place to work. The truck pictured isn't mine, but it's the exact same model and layout. I saw some threads where people talked about using 3x3 steel tubing and extending it into the box to make sure that everything is structurally sound. Would that maybe work for my situation?
