I’ve said it before but, great looking rig man.

I totally agree! And I really like that picture with the old barn and silo. Cool!

Well after making some decisions I’m officially building a custom aluminum truck camper similar to the one Fourwheel campers made back in the day. The softopper sold within hours and ordering aluminum has started.

Some unsolicited advice? Do this, it will make the transition from cab to camper much better.

I spent most of the day gluing, screwing, stapling, and drilling. I was not looking forward to cutting the top but it turned out to not be so bad.

I vacuumed out the back of the K5, I think some of these places have not been vacuumed since 77.

I started to clean all of the sealant off of the top in preparation to install rubber roofing. This is going to take a while.

I’m going to build an all aluminum flange that bolts to the cab opening and uses factory gaskets to seal it. So the cab opening will not have any restrictions on movement

I was putting a feeler out there. No way I can sell this thing and decided to make the camper for extra room

This is going to be sweet. Can't wait to see it come together. If you need any detail pics of mine or some of the others I've snatched pictures from other for sale posts, let me know. I've got a lot.
