Re: 1971 Chevrolet C30 Custom Camper w/ Mitchell Camper on BaT
Not difficult, just takes time and some correct equipment.
Did once - went the route of removing camper interior, then upper skin/structure/tubing/wiring, and then the tanks/base structure down to the frame. (Thought about unbolting the camper from the frame, removing connections and then back dumping the whole thing, but not feasible and too much possibility of damage for next phase.) Once bare, I made a few base improvements, then added aluminum, frame for cabover space and sleeper behind cab (36" deep) using original camper opening, finished with metal siding outside and vinyl sheeting inside. Added a solid repurposed flatbed with gooseneck setup, complete with headache rack to protect rear of sleeper.

Has anyone ever done a complete chassis swap with a 2000 or newer?
