Hi Johnson,

Welcome to the forum. That is some piece of kit ! The body looks very like an Autosleeper.

Very neat conversion, looks original
Can you go from the Cab into the rear or is the bulkhead still in place?

Great up cycling. Taking the Hab from probably a tired chassis and engine and mounting to a rugged rover
