    Should I Remove Fiberglass to Install Foam?

It already has finished walls, floor and ceiling, all insulated with fiberglass by a commercial company called LDV (they build trucks for FBI, CIA etc).  Question: should I go to the trouble of disassembling to remove the fiberglass in favor of...

    Construct Walls or Ceiling First?

    I did a quick search of the forums, but didn't see any posts on this subject. For a box truck conversion, after insulation, should you put in panels for the walls or ceiling first? I'm guessing that the ceiling should go first so that the walls for an additional vertical support to hold the...

    My New Box Truck Project

    I pulled the trigger and bought a used box truck (2000 GMC 3500). the box is insulated on the walls and ceiling, but not the floor. it also has the "attic" area which should be good for a bed. previously it had two AC units installed in the box (which have been removed and covered). I'm assuming...
