I was building it in my driveway, but ran out of time with all of my other life obligations. I took my truck to CO to a guy who has been building trucks for 30 years. It's now on its way to realizing its potential!

Some tweaks, the box has been expanded to the cab. This creates a fixed floor area separate from the expanding box, which presents more than a few engineering challenges. My expanding floors are fixed instead of folding, so now all of my kitchen/restroom/sitting area go into the slide outs. The people who sold me the truck told be a bunch of BS, and some of their "repairs" were either barely done or not done at all and have had to be redone.

You are gaining a ton of extra room there up front. Is that a stock tandem axle chassis or lengthened?

It is the standard 1087 chassis. There is a 72" gap between the front of the box and the back of the cab. It's where all of the stairs/handrails, etc. Were previously stored.
