I am located in the Tahoe area and am looking to start my CO -> NCO conversion/hack-job in the early summer. If you are around northern/central CA maybe we can swap parts! I won’t be needing the walls/floor/metal corner CO supports. Interested in seeing your plans/progress.
This older thread on expedition portal details significant overhaul and lengthening of the cabover section and may be of use for your reference:

I am really looking forward to see progress when you guys get started. The nicer weather has me tempted to pull the top half off one of mine, but I am right in the middle of modifying an old pontoon boat and it has to be done first. At least I can watch and learn from your projects.

So as I prepare to tear into my latest 10’ NCO, I have 2 questions. As I rebuild the top my plan is to pocket screw and glue the wood frame. Looks like just staples were used originally. Does it need the flex that just stapling provides? Also anybody ever converted a NCO into A CO? This is going to be a fairly extensive rebuild, feedback?
That sounds like a difficult but interesting conversion. Please document and share your experience.

Started to lift the top off the newest Alaskan and it started to come apart, ended up cutting it up! Turns out the metal was the only thing holding it together!
Cheers!
That stinks. Been there though. Brought home an 8' nco once that came apart as I tried to unload it. At least you still have your other 10'.
