Mocking up framme for camper

Looks good, so far.
What do you plan on doing the exterior walls, insulaton, and interior walls with?
First I have to add more steel,then once I do that,it may be framed out with metal studs. 1/2 plywood on the outside,due to it not being a conductor of heat, the insulation is still under thought,as is the interior wall. I also can use my camper shell,underneath the racks,making it separate,which would cut down on cost & make it so it can be used in more ways. If I need to use the pick up bed,for something,the shell underneath,will be able to slide ride out ! As the tilte says,"Mucking it up" !
 
I chickened out on building mine. I was too worried about wind and not confident enough. I'd love to see how yours ends up.
I've seen guys with some really gnarly builds but never had a chance to talk about how it rides.

Here's a nice site I remember well. It may be of no use to you.. but his F150 is something to look at. It's a cool looking rig.

I saw that,and at the moment,my project is at a stand still,(pun intended),due to my truck having the ole firewall flex/crack in it !..........had to leave both jobs & am going to deliver food,via bicycle,starting in June !
 
wow I never heard of a firewall flexing. I just watched a video to see what you mean.. the guy's brake master cylinder and lines were bouncing all over the place.

My Chevy is so rusted, I'm surprised I don't have that issue. Could the crack be just welded or even bandaged with a bracket running along the crack?
