This must be the slowest build on the forum, back on it though, the box is now insulated and framed out with bunks shower stall, bathroom, plus t&g wall boards are up on the bunk side. Excuse the clutter too many projects going at once 😁

I would love to check it out,could you email some pictures? I'll PM you my email. Thanks Tim

Worked on the truck again yesterday, starting to take shape now. Upper and lower front panels were fitted. As for insulation,I may go with spray foam ,best R value I think.

The original corner radius pieces were the cut to fit the overhang and the belt rail lifted up to the lower edge of the overhang. Then refitted the leading edge of the roof and the top outer corners.

Made some progress on the cargo box modification. The box was 24ft ,so the front cap had to be removed, then the roof and sides shortened by 4ft.Then the notch for the overcab could be done.

Yep ,the stack has to go.

Time to start slicing and dicing the van box, we are going to notch the front of the box so it overhangs the cab, we'll shorten it up too. The extra frame behind the rear axle will get bobbed once the van box is notched and slid forward into position.

Brought the Morgan van box home on a buddies trailer. Then parked the freightliner next to the trailer with enough room between them for the boom truck. Van box in place

I picked up this Morgan van body,it's well made and has the frp walls. It's 8.5ft wide by 8.5ft tall inside and 24 ft long.

Well here goes! The project begins! We picked up this 1999 FLD120 that previously had a crane mounted to it. Frame was already stretched and double framed. 12.7 series 60 detroit for power with an Eaton 18 speed. Plans are to modify an existing cargo box, a used Morgan body was located 102"...

Floor plan is still up in the air,working on the truck right now,getting rid of air leaks and changing oil and filters etc. Going with an 20 ft x102 wide van box then notch the front to go over the cab.

Nebraska requires that all pick-ups with trailers need to pull into the weigh stations on the interstate. If ya do or don't pull in is up to you!

Rookie from Colorado checking in here. Took the plunge yesterday and picked up a 99 Freightliner FLD120 cab chassis. I'll be building it up into a toterhome,I'll be getting some tips and advice from the members here. Cheers Tim
