Thanks.
1] Do you know of any 'Bolters putting camper shells of some type in the space where the pickup box would go, and what suspension changes would be recommended? Just thinking of all options first, when one has free reign in vehicle designs with a clear title. Most folks take their rides on weekends and camp at the state parks, then take their pride and joy to the local car shows.
2]...If it comes to the rear half of the frame needing to be re-enforced to compensate for a newer axle, it may as well get some more distance between the axles in the rebuild.
...Camper shells are like flat beds, they need more springs and strength for the expected heavy loads and road stresses. The "Structural Engineer" in my head told me so. That's what I get for working at an Industrial Door company. Some of it is still stuck in my head, and surfaces from time to time.
