I wanna turn something like this into a cozy camper.

there are actually civilian versions of these too

although I don't think you can actually buy one for a reasonable price these days, since they've got that vintage collector's value

In the US it's impossible to buy a possible camper conversion for under $20k that isn't a rust bucket POS

huh, then I guess the 5-15k € prices I was seeing for Volvo Laplanders (the name of the civilian model) aren't that high, that's 6-17.5k $ (although I'm assuming these Volvos can't be in particularly good condition either, they're old trucks - I saw a few for 20k €, and one even 40k, so those might be better-preserved ones; plus, most of these are in Europe so you'd have to pay more for the importing itself)
