    Or check with 2L Trucks, or Herron Trucks. Both in Texas. They build truck bodies like that.

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    I'm with Don, put an a/c unit in. Or at minimum run the 12 gauge romex up there and some low voltage wire for the thermostat.

    Is it feasible to increase the height of the box or the size of an over-cab "attic?"

    Well, I don't think there is a compatibility chart. But plenty of people have mounted boxes to the frame rails of their trucks. I suppose you just have to figure out if you want to do it. Then find a truck you like. Most likely you're going to have to stretch the frame. Might get lucky and find...

    Is it feasible to increase the height of the box or the size of an over-cab "attic?"

    There isn't much left to most Uhaul trucks when they finally sell them. Likewise for most working box trucks. Most of the boxes on those MDT trucks are pretty flimsy too. Not very good for adding a bunch of fixtures and living quarters stuff in my opinion. And most medium duty box trucks were...

    Is it feasible to increase the height of the box or the size of an over-cab "attic?"

    If you are going to try to figure out how much it will cost you to build out the living quarters. Do so, then double it. And then add a bit more. That's what most of the guys that have built their own will tell you. Keep a close watch on the "359 Race Rig" thread. I haven't seen any costs there...

    Is it feasible to increase the height of the box or the size of an over-cab "attic?"

    Do you already have a truck? Todd still has his "RumRunner" I believe. And I think he would sell it for a screaming deal. The racingjunk add linked in his thread is expired but you should send him a message and see about it. http://www.truckconversion.net/forums/f97/selling-my-rumrunner-7307/

    359 Race Rig

    Cool. I like the lift on the back. Are you cutting out the back of the cab and front of the box so you can walk through? I can't tell from the pictures.

    Toter purchase advice

    Don, my trans won't skip shift. I've got the Eaton 3 pedal autoshift 10 speed. It's a Gen II. I'm told the trans is the exact same thing as the manual straight 10. The auto shift stuff is all on the outside. It starts from a dead stop in 2nd gear, unless I push the up or down button to start in...

    Toter purchase advice

    Back to Truck Conversions. When I was shopping for a truck my son was an owner/operator. He had driven for a couple companies before buying his own truck. He tried to get me to not consider auto shifters. He said any real truck driver rows his own gears. I developed a bit of a relationship with...

    Thanks, it is a very fast road car. We ran the "One Lap of America" One Lap of America in 2012 and he got 5th overall. Not bad for never having run that event before. And he was 24 years old and paid for the whole car himself. He got best rookie award too. We ran "High Planes" with the Porsche...

    Nope, I think you guys might be all wrong. I have a friend that is a Federally licensed commercial vehicle enforcement officer working in Minnesota. He knows the federal motor vehicle codes like no other. We have talked about this at length. He claims the language is "in furtherance of a...
