Thanks! It’s marine plywood. I’m covering it in marine epoxy and bonding aluminum to it.

Sweet truck! I just read through the thread and the whole time I was thinking, “I can’t see him rock crawling this truck after all the aesthetic effort.” Any plans for sliders at the rocker panels or did I just miss that part?
I’ve been kicking around the idea of building up a wheeler for thrashing on, but it’ll start out ugly and stay ugly, lol.
After taking my truck down to the frame and investing countless hours to preserve it from the elements, it’s going to be a camping/hunting/fishing/mild trail rig. I’ve had my eyes peeled for a pop top camper for a while, but have considered building one like you’re doing to.
Anyway, I totally respect the amount of time and effort you put into this truck and look forward to seeing how the camper turns out.

Thanks man!Awesome start so far
Thanks man!
Yep she’s going to be a wheeler. I would rather fix dents then rust any day of the year.
Some more camper build updates. Started fabbing up the radius’s for the front And adding extra supports. 
Got both sides finished! 
Test fitting again. 
Totally awesome for sure. Nice progress!
I don’t have a square tube die set for my jd2 so this is how I did the radius’s on the front frame.
Thanks @ZooMad75

I really need to unfollow this thread. My wife is gonna kill me for all the ideas its giving me. Really stunning work my friend.
Sorry i missed the opportunity on the soft top. I woulda snatched it up. But now you have my gears turning for a camper too.... Damn you!!!
Just for curiosities sake (I'm just starting to teach myself how to weld), are you using a MIG with a spool gun and flux core wire, or TIG welding?

I’m using a mig with a spool gun for the frame running pure argon and 4043 wire. I will be using my tig also for the thinner metal and intricate stuff.
