Not mine, but cool idea. I want to build a camper on a Deuce one of these days.

The truck in question has been stored in the Fullerton Mini storage yard for a few months.
I had been meaning to take some photo's, but the area is not condusive to stopping and parking.
After returning from the salvage yard Friday I spotted the same truck headed West on Rt 40. It's got Vermont tags and is a winch truck. There is a ladder sitting in the back of the bed for getting into the camper.
I was rather surprised that he kept up with traffic even from the traffic lights on Rt 40.

looks like they had to hack the bed for the camper to fit.

heck - any duece owner looking to make some change - start delivering campers to RV places ?? But then again you now become a commerical vehicle.
WM is spot on - needs camo - unless its his dads camper he is borrowing.

No bed hacking required.
It's a standard camper slide in unit, just over 4' between wheel wells.
If it were mine, I'd get rid of the straps and install some turn buckles to secure it to the truck bed.
check out the lower left corner of picture 2 - you can see where the side rails of the bed were cut out to fit the camper shell.

Probably not much taller then an M109 but I would sure get nervous around bridges and power lines.

I have a dropside. Wouldn't hesitate to split the drops into 2 piec units. As far as on and off, thats what a wrecker is for!

I used to have a slide in mounted on a '76 F250 4x4, It would scare the bejebbers out of me having to lift it to the max of the jacks and then it would rack when a rivet got it hung up.

My Deuce with my S280 tops out at 11-3 give or take a little. M109 is about 7 inches shorter.
I suppose if you want comfort, the camper makes sense, but hey, this is a military truck....
Comfort was an after thought....
I will bet one thing....My S280 is a heck of a lot better insulated than that Pickup camper...
Wreckerman....I totally agree it should be in 3 color camo....
