Hi Dick, I am intrigued with your idea. That is as close as we
can get to a new camper. I don't see why it can't be done,
the two most difficult things would be the lengthening of the
frame and the actual hoisting of the camper shell off and on the
frames. Out here just about ALL the yard services use 1 ton Toyota trucks
to haul their stuff around. I have not measured the wheel
base of those trucks, but it looks pretty close to what we use. A
good wielding shop could easily do that work, especially if you
already had the camper off your old truck for them to see what was
needed. I am sure you would run into a few unique problems, like
sealing the camper to the new truck, but at least you know it was
done by someone at the factory before you.
Jack
