It's well discussed and detailed about building a camper with foam. Foam, especially the way discussed here, is rot proof, lighter, easier to work with, and cheaper. The idea is to minimize any wood.

Save all of the cabinets, appliances, windows, etc that are salvageable, then strip it down to the truck frame. You can change the layout to your needs, get rid of the overhead bed if you desire, and rebuild it any way you want to fit your needs and budget.
I would do this if I was in your shoes. Take this as an alternative idea. Good luck.
