A little update...not much changed but we finished installing the insulation and covering it on the inside with 5mm plywood. I also installed four of the 115V AC led lights that I modified to run on 12V...they are nice and bright and only draw about 6 watts each. They are rated for 12 watts but I am running them at half power. This means they should stay nice and cool and last quite a long time.
We looked into some of the paint suggestions but can't find the color selection we want in an etching primer system. I have been told epoxy primer will also work over bare aluminum so we are going to look into that. Sherwin Williams auto division has 8000 colors for the 2 part epoxy primer system.
Here are a couple of shots of the finished interior...one taken from the cab overhand bed area looking back at the main cabin. Note the 6 foot metal ruler in the pictures. I think our 8 feet of headroom is probably a record for truck campers. It sure is nice for my 6'7" height.
