Good way of attaching side panels without punching holes through them?

So thats the problem. Here, I thought it was for hemorrhoids. The guy at Home Depot must've lied to me.
I suppose it could've been worse.

My avatar pic should set you straight. :D
Oh, yeah...
I finally post something vaguely constructive and useful and Drew drags it into the EE realm. Go figure.

A concrete casting of yer intestines is useful in exactly what way to us? Next you'll be telling me our post counts aren't increasing with our EE posts.
WHAT?!?!??!
Um....Ed, what did you do? They turned 'em off and they said it was because of you and your intestines. Did you make another pass at Peale?

The lock is on the inside of the cab so you don't see it... it isn't too far in, I think the pic is misleading you.

They are pressed in holes cut by a forsner bit

I've received more requests for it since you asked... I will be updating it as soon as I can.

Thats it really.. it is fairly simple.
Tahnok:
Well then, the cam-locks sound like a pretty good route. I love the idea of making it so it can be disassembled easily (though originals didn't use cam-locks). Be sure to send me a PM when you get the paper done, or just post here. :)
Thanks for the help (even with the, rather odd, detour)!

Imagine putting a block of wood in every corner where two boards meet on the inside and screwing that block to the panels. I'm probably not explaining it clearly but you shouldn't have to drill through the outside of your cab...

Thats exactly how you do it.
Use screws that are shorter than the 3/4 wood so it won't go through but still grab the wood and hold it togeather.
