A few years back I turned my Dodge Dakota pickup into a flat bed truck. Lately I have been considering making a camper for it. The problem being it is a 1/2 ton truck, so building anything heavy is out. The bed on the truck is now 7' x 7'
I have been working on a couple of designs. One uses galvanized studs used in home construction but instead of using screws or pop rivets I planed on using what is called a tinners rivet, (they are solid). With enough bracing it may be strong enough.
The other design uses wood, but with holes drilled in the areas that are not weight bearing.
I welcome any thoughts.
