Not quite built, but got the camper shell started and the bed base fitted, three days so far, and counting..
Started like this......base vehicle is an RB44 made from bits of many vehicles for the U.K military.
Added several tabs to the hoops to enable the build process, then fitted front and rear bulkheads of 3/4" marine ply.
Rather than make a flexible mount for the box, I thought I would make a flexible box, secondary reason is I wanted to retain the military look.
Came across insulated tarpaulins for the inner cover, its made up of PVC type material outer with a 1/4" insulating layer and heavy canvas inner layer, all held onto the truck with an aluminium retaining strip outside.
Fitted some duck boards on top of the hoops so that it can be utilised for light load carrying, and a handy place for mounting interior lights etc.
Stealth mode, original cover fitted over the top.
Only fitted the bed base at the moment, but will fit the sink/hob unit and storage unit soon............
