Picked this Fibre Body insert up the other day for a cheaply $400. Not too bad. Looks like all the seals seal. Only thing I don't like about it is the interior size. Its an insert designed for use in multiple mfr trucks. It fits well in the Superduty long bed I put on my cab and chassis.
Coming off will be the ladder rack, emergency lights, strobe lights, and interior cabinets. (Although I may keep the cabinets for pull out tray purposes.) I would like to remove the floor tray, but that is the floor.
What I would prefer would be a rodeo style camper. Only few mfrs for the rodeo style camper (M&M, Capri, and 1-2 others). But they are expensive. Selling off the stuff I don't want, will make it even cheaper.
All I really need is a sleeping quarters for my camping adventures for couple of people. I camp when I wheel my Jeep. I have plans for under-floor boxes fitting in front and behind the rear axle (trimming the bed as needed). I needed a camper with the rear doors. Since there are several differences between a cab and chassis frame and a regular pickup frame, I couldn't use a tailgate.
To gain interior space, I could cut the bottom half off and convert it to a topper. BrandFXbody.com is the mfr. From the dimensions listed, they are basically the same as a topper shell. Big difference is the rear door and bulkhead. Not a big deal to seal the rear bulkhead against the bed. I am also planning in my head a flip top setup with a small pickup tonneau cover. If not flip, just an angle up in the rear to provide standup space.
All this is coming off this. The city also has a code to what looks like a camper on a truck is also prohibited to park in residential areas. This shell doesn't look at all like a pickup camper.
