Finally got the box

 After 6 months of waiting, I finally got the habitation box onto the truck...

This is just a quick update to add a couple of pictures... The truck looks pretty odd at the moment though, as its still on its original wheels which are for a small urban delivery truck... Ill be changing those out soon for some significantly larger ones.  

Its also got minimal windows in at present... There are two other larger windows to be added ahead of the two small ones that are currently located in the sleeping area. I can fit them myself, so rather than paying for someone else's time to install them (which is pretty damn expensive by the way!), ill do it when Im ready.

At the moment, the interior is a completely blank space ready for me to do whatever I want... Its gonna take a while and Im going to do a trial fitting with everything roughed into place using framing lumber and ply-wood to figure out all the details. Ill give it a few trial runs to see if I like it and then when Im happy Ill convert the rough build into a higher quality finished version... Should take a year or so.

First pass framing things up... Ive got a bed platform, a couple of bench seats, and cabinetry outlines...


But for now, Im just happy to have all the major components of the truck, the sub-frame, and the box completed and paid for (well, mostly paid for).

More posts will follow as I do the rough fit-out :)
