Well I got an 07 international 9400. It's a mid roof. I need to make cabinet space. I have 2 long shelfs and everything looks like a mess. Thinking of building some wood cabinet to Give me more storage. Anyone got some pics of what they did?
Another note I wanna replace my floor. It has tons of dirt under it. What would be a cheap way to do this?
Redo inside of truck?

For the floor, go to home depot and buy a bundle of hardwood laminated flooring. tear your carpet/rubber mat up. Clean it real good and then put the wood down.
As for cabinets. I'll tell ya next spring. That's my winter project. Redoing the entire interior this winter. Hoping I can fit a shower in.
Edit to add. If you are taking the interior paneling of four any reason, glue in some pink house insulation. it's very cheap, only takes a few minutes, and is thousand times better than that crap foam the truck left the factory withHopeOverMope and TruckerPete1990 Thank this. -
See I was thinking about that for floor too. Wife said it too. Never used that stuff does it have to be screwed down to my floor or just snap them in place?

Everything on the floor needs to come out. And holes need to be drilled for the seats and pedals. It can easily turn in to a four day project so might want to save it for the winter break. -
As if breaking down every other day isn't good enough for you...... lol

Truckon brings up a good point. As many problems as you've had with that truck I would of jacked up the radiator cap and pulled a new truck under it.

True that it's thought for down the road lol.

is there a floor kit or rubber to cut your own to fit ?

All kidding about your truck aside, a hard wood floor and an interior designed better goes a long way towards happiness and comfort on the road. And it's not expensive at all, a few hundred bucks. But it is tedious and time consuming, so save it for a holiday project when you plan on being home a couple weeks. Xmas thru New year's is a great time if you have decent weather or a barn or garage to work in. And it doesn't take a lot of skill. That class in middle school where you made your mom a bird house type of skill. And you got three months to plan it out and research how others have done it. Google is your friend here. And a trip with a camera to a local rv/camper dealer is a very good idea. Find a small camper and take lots of pictures of how it is laid out. It can give you ideas of how to best utilize a small living space.
